    Never assume (insurance related)...

    Wow that's hard. On my side the women that takes care of my insurance makes all the necessary steps. However before I get my medicine I get a letter from both my insurance companies that confirms if I am accepted or not. No misunderstanding possible. This time around one company confirms...

    Starting Remicade and feeling scared

    I've been on Remicade for 15 months now and I don't regret it one bit. ION the last 15 months I think I had about 6 weeks of problems the rest I feel fine. Compared to how I was before this is almost a miracle. As for the risk... I'll agree when they say you just doubled your risk of cancer it...

    Scared and running out of options

    One thing I've learned with this plague is never to give up. I know the pain you endure everyday. We endure it too. Some days I wake up in the morning and I dream of having a life without pain. Maybe one day it will come. Stay strong and explore everything and then choose wisely.
