Options?

options?

So the remicade isn't working anymore. I am going to discuss with my gi other options. Although I'm sick of meds I need something for relief. I have been to the er so much and its getting old. It's like my body is rejecting food now. Everytime I eat I always have to throw up. But the tests show nothing "abnormal' yet this isn't normal at all. So any suggestions? Which meds should I recommend trying or should I try a diet (tube feeds, etc) to let my stomach rest. I'm so lost. Any options and opinions would be appreciated!

Oh and I've been running a fever of 101 for about a week along with the throwing up and stomach pain.

Hi,
Since the Remicade isn't working you might go to Humira, combined with 6mp (purinethol.)
The fever is a concern (either active inflammation or infection.) Can you tolerate liquid feeds like ensure or boost? It would be better if you could drink them for a while rather than needing tube feeding.
Hope you manage some peaceful moments, they are so important for you.
all the best.

What have your doctors suggested as the next option? They must have had some ideas.

Previously, you had posted about seeking another opinion. Have you made any phone calls to the places we suggested like the Mayo Clinic? I think it is certainly time to get another perspective if your current doctors aren't taking your case seriously.
