Hi everyone! My name is Shannon, I'm 24 years old and I got diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in Feb. 2011. I have been on a ton of medicines and still trying to figure out what works. I currently am taking Augmentin, 6-MP, Cipro, Entocort (don't know if that's spelled right, I don't have my bottle close), and Cimzia. I have had probably 10-15 abscesses and 4 fistulas (all with setons). I just had a seton placement done 2 weeks ago and already have another abscess. There hasn't been a change in the Crohn's that is located in my ileum. Which is good that it hasn't gotten worse, but bad that it's not gotten better. My doctors want me to try Remicade before they do surgery but the cost of the medicine is a HUGE factor! At this point I am completely frustrated!! If anyone has suggestions or advice please feel free to comment.
