I saw my new IBD doc today. Went very well. She is moving me from Humira to Remicade, and adding Cellcept since I don't tolerate 6MP all that well. Wish me luck! Hope i'm not a zombie like on 6MP. Has anyone taken it??
I am also doing an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy a on Sept 1st.
She got me signed up for 1g, 30 min infusions of Injectafer which should be far better than the 500mgs of Venofer i was getting over 4+ hours and hurt my vein.
I also signed up for some study by Dr. Sandborn (in the same office) on new biological markers of inflammation and intenstinal lining strength, so they'll take a stool sample prior to and some biopsies during the scoping next week.
I'll be very busy the next few weeks!
