Having a rough time

[TytoAlba]

Guh. Sometimes I really hate this disease. I'm glad we have this forum though.

I've been having a rough time. Just started a new job last month (After being out of work for a year) and things were going well. Due to some issues with my last doctor ( Long story.) I had to switch to a new doctor, and I cannot get in to see him until the 26th.

So I'm way overdue for my Remicade, and my Crohn's is rearing its ugly head. I'm fighting it and going into work every day anyway, even if I feel like curling up into a ball and staying in bed.

I can't even get Prednisone because my Primary has no idea about how to dose it, and really knows little about Crohn's in general.

So I'm stuck. Sick, not happy.

Have you looked into Remistart?

Just checked it out. Remicade is covered by my insurance so that's not a problem. Its just waiting for my "new patient" appointment with the new doctor. They bumped me up a week because they had a cancellation but...still need to wait until the 26th to see him.

Sorry

No need to be sorry! Thank you for bringing it up though, I had no idea that type of thing existed.

I'm there with you on the eternal wait for appointments. Makes me mad. I have to fight the urge to call up the corporate office and unload on them.

Everything will get better and better.
