I am 23 and i got diagnosed when I was 16. I had extreme stomach pain for about a year before I would go to the blood thirsty doctors. Well i finally went got diagnosed got put on pentasa and entocort and about 2 weeks later was feeling fine....for about 1 week then I lost blood, more, and more. I got hospitalized for a week and they gave me two bags of blood....not really sure how much that is I am pretty ignorant when it comes to medical stuff. Then when I was 18 i got put on remicade, worked for about 2 1/2 years symptom free then i quit my job to pursue a new career, well before my new insurance i got a flare up, well here i am i am on remicade again i had one treatment about 3 weeks ago and my symptoms are still painful plus a new symptom with my joints aching in my fingers and arm, i also have high blood pressure, and get migraines from the treatment. so i am hoping that remicade will kick back in working for me, if it doesnt i do not know where to go from there.

Hey all
 
Hi! Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well lately. My fingers are crossed for you and hope the remicade starts working soon. Let us know how you get on!
