When I start feeling bad I just call my GI and set up an appointment. Blood test colonoscopy and then treatment. No fooling around.

When I had my first operation I was 12 I stopped taking medication from then on all the way to my early 30. Then all hell broke loose and I started suffering like crazy. Now I'm on remi and if somebody suggest quitting I'll kick em in the nuts!

The preps are the worst. Saw my GI last week and he ask me when was your last scope. I answered Last week... he looked at me and smile. It was 13 months ago. I'm seeing him again in 6 months and I am preparing myself,. I'm sure he'll wantt o take a peek to see if everything is ok. When will we...

The only way I have found not to be accused of drug seeking is to ask the same doctor for my pain meds. And I bring my previous prescriptions with me so they know when I ask for them and how mcuh I got. I have a family doctor and my GI. I ask them only for pain meds. In Quebec we will soon be...

I love remicade, Would not want to be without it. No real side effect either. it's way out there. Good luck

I get my receipt everytime I go and I get billed 4490$ been the same since April 2011.

INdeed, strange that the office said nothing. My doctor put me in touch with a sales rep for Remi and they did all the paperowrk for me and check with my insurance company to see if I needed help with the payments. All I had to do is sign a letter and I was done.

F_Else says it all. I'm a bit older than you are at 38 but I shave my head and I have been shaved for the last 7 years. Girls usually dig it. With this medication you sometimes have to make a few choices. Shaving your head is not to high a price for a remission. at least in my case. You...

:arghmatey_ani:If they have to take it out because it does not work well they can have it, I don't want to keep substandard merchandise.:dance:

I have been taking Remi since April 2011. 7 doses later I had only 1 sore throat. I have three young kids that get sick all the time. They all got sick and I did not get one cold. Stayed in the hospital fro 10 days when I broke my leg and got my operation and did not get anything, You certainly...

I've had my 7th shot of remi last week. Last april when I started it I broke my leg really badly and had to get operated. All this to say that I healed treally fast like always. I was on blood thinners for 6 months and also never had any problems with healing. ust thought I would give my input.

I had that when I started pred and then when I was on remi. I think it's a side effect of feeling good. when we are sick we never want to eat and when we finally feel better our body reacts with the lets eat feeling.

It's good to be offended on occasion. However I am not going out of my way to do so. SO I do apologise. I am very open minded. Why don't you enlighten me, what is it that so many of us seem to not get?

Living in the US is a real pain. The most powerful contry in the world and they still let their citizen suffer... I'm sorry I can,T really help you but like most insurance companies, even in canada I have to pay a surplus for my life insurance. The rest is the same but life is always more...

This plague of ours is different in every one of us. We all suffer diffrently but we do suffer. You are certainly not alone. Hang in there

Rygon says it well. Even though we are on Remi it does not always mean we are free of the plague. We still have to be careful. I love mushrooms but they just pass right through me and it hurts. Hope you get better soon.

It's always a possibility. And the reactions are usualy very direct. I'm sure you bnurse /doctor are aware of this and will be chekcking you when you get your doage. I gather you discused this with your doctor as well? The fact that everybody knows will diminish the risks. In my opinion it's...

Welcome to the remicade group! Pred is a short term remedy. You don't want to be on those for a long time. Remicade on the other hand when everything goes well is pretty much the only thing you will ever need. You might need a immuno suppresor to go with it but that's all. I would not worry to...

I got my infuision on friday went very well. New nurse there hmmm might want to get my medicine a lot more often :-) My dosage is 400 mg so my nurse tells me. my weight is 86 kg. so my dosage is 4.65/kg Hope that helps!

I have a lot of gas but rarely do I have mucus. I agree with David, changing your diet seems like the bnest thing to do. Good luck
