    Accredo Problems

    Just an update if anyone cares. My new insurance gave me a choice for pharmacies and I switched to Right Source. They got my prescription Friday afternoon late and are shipping today. I will have it tomorrow. Can't believe the difference in level of service. I hope this continues.

    Low hemoglobin-->Pentasa?

    That is an odd correlation. It's awesome that you're not experiencing symptoms or pain. I'm happy that you're in that small subset of Crohn's patients!

    Low hemoglobin-->Pentasa?

    I have to get iron infusions about 3 times per year because of bleeding. In fact tomorrow is my infusion day. I took Pentasa for about 2 years and there was never a big change to my hemoglobin levels during that time - it stayed low until it got an infusion boost and then started to fall again...

    Bitter to be joining

    Hi Jody - I can relate to your subject line. I've had Crohn's Disease for 20 years and I remember being bitter at first, too. And unsure about how my life would change. I was 35 years old - in the "prime" of my life! Just like you. I promise you that you will feel better. You will be able...

    Does Humira injections really hurt?

    I took Remicade for about 6 years and it stopped working. 4 hours every 6 weeks in my doctors office and an IV. Missed a half day of work every month for it. This wasn't great, but I was doing well until it stopped working. On Humira now. 1 pen injection every 2 weeks. At home, no doctors...
