Going for forth Remicade!

[Bamafan94]

I'll be going in for my forth Remicade infusion today. I'm a little nervous because after this one my doctor will tell me what needs to happen next. If the Remicade works to close up the 4 small fistulas connecting my small intestine to my colon then I'm good. If not I may be facing surgery.
I'm sure he'll tell me today when I'll need to come back in to go back through the chamber of horrors (tests and procedures) that'll be nessesary to see if the medicine worked.
I know a lot of you on here are praying people, so I ask that you remember me in your prayers.

Current meds:
Lialda 2.4 gm
Imuran 150 mg
Levbid .375 twice a day
Multivitamin

Thanks for the well wishes.
Everything went well with the infusion. My doc wants me to come back in two weeks for a colonoscopy and bloodwork. He said we would go from there depending on what he finds.
I've felt better the past week or two and today was a really great day! I've been stuck at home for quite a while trying to avoid sick people. Also, it's hard to go anywhere when you're dealing with unpredictable diarrhea. But today after my Remicade infusion, my husband and I got to go eat out and go shopping. I felt like a bird let out of it's cage! We had so much fun.
Of course now I'm exhausted and will probably sleep all day tomorrow! But it was worth it.
Thanks again for all the well wishes. I wish everyone good health!
