Hi all,
I'm a male in my mid 30's. Been battling away with Crohns (of the colon) for some time now. Officially diagnosed in 2003 after a long history of gastrointestinal issues. Have since diagnosis worked my way through pretty much all treatments the medicos have to offer. Currently on Infliximab 8 weekly infusions & 4 tabs of Mesavant daily. As of 2 Saturdays ago, decided to give MM a go. So far, really positive immediate results & enough to keep me trialling. I'm keen to get in and see what others are saying is working/ not working for them MM wise. Ok, that's a quick intro. Happy healing to you all ;-)

Thanks for the welcome guys! Infliximab for approx 12 months. Haven't really found prolonged sustained relief from it. Seems to last 5 weeks then I'm hanging out for the next 3 weeks before the next infusion.

Have you talked to your GI about reducing the duration between infusions? You can definitely have infusions less often than every 8 weeks.
