Doubling the Remicade

I saw my GI today. I've had 4 infusions (last one was 6 weeks ago). I'm still having some issues (diarrhea 5-8 times/day, minimal pain, rare blood). He's going to double the Remi from 5mg/kg to 10. My next infusion is in 2 weeks. If this doesn't work, I'll be going to a Crohn's specialist at an IBD clinic in Nashville. Fingers crossed!

Also, I finished my azathioprine and assumed I was done. Apparently, I was supposed to call for a refill. So I'll be restarting that (after 3-4 weeks off). I don't feel like it was doing anything, but whatever. I'm also on Lialda-4/day.
 
Goodness, Stephanie. I hope the increased dosage is the kickstart that your body needs.

I never felt like the Imuran did anything for me either :frown:
