    Starting Remicade. Any tips?

    Hello, Looks like I'll be starting Remicade shortly. Any tips from users that maybe the doctors don't always cover? I understand it will lower my immune system, so try to avoid the sickos. Anything else? Oh, also how long do the infusions usually take? Would I be able to return to work right...

    When will my fistula heal?

    Hello, I'm new here. Just discovered the forum and it's nice to see how active it is (though not so nice to see how many people are afflicted). In any case, I had surgery two months ago to drain a perianal abscess, but the wound still hasn't healed and there is still pus and occasionally blood...
