Hi all...I am just looking for experiences with starting both Imuran and Remicade at the same time while I research more of this great forum. JW had his MRI enterography on 1/13/12 and it shows a fistula as well as a lot of inflammatory changes. JW is currently only on Asacol because he didn't tolerate the Apriso. The GI wants to get him in ASAP to start both meds and then recheck labs in 2 and 4 weeks. Are the Imuran and Remicade generally added to the Asacol or in place of? I have read a lot of stories about reactions with Remicade as well. I get the impression that GI wants to be aggressive as this has gotten much worse since the suspicion of Crohn's less than a year ago. The official diagnosis just came in 12/11 so it feels like things are moving very aggressive and fast.

Thanks for any info you can give. I am still navigating through the site and reading as much as I can in order to help my son.
