Stress Kills
...
I am new to this forum , but well versed in Remicade and crohn's disease.
I have found that Stress Kills.
When I go to the infusion center for Remicade I see people with worse diseases than me. I see people who will not live as long as I have a chance to. The experience is truely humbling. I start to feal like the fortunate one.
I would also have to say that you should trust your doctors. All other medications bounced off of my Crohns so....
I see my family doctor for stress, have for years.
The medication is called xanax. lol . It works
Hello Everyone,
I am quite new to this forum but I have been reading a lot about ppl's posts and their experiences to Crohn's.
I was "officially" diagnosed earlier this year with Crohn's. I am still in denial with it.. since I don't feel any pain or what so ever. I only had a few flares from my previous experiences and a few times blood in my stool.
I have inquired 2 specialist and both of them suggested me to do Remicade. I have only taken 60 days of Pentasa prior to my 2nd colonoscopy where I was then diagnosed with CD.
I have some fistulas in my anus area, and that's what the 2 specialist told me that Remicade will try to eliminate it - however, I am not feeling any pain with those fistulas, only having something in that area is awkward. My specialists also mentioned that my CD is the penetrative type - does that mean more and more fistuals will develop to me ?
My question is.. do you think I should take remicade at this moment ? Like I've mentioned I have been living a normal life without having any bad symptoms or aches. At this moment I am consulting a chinese doctor, following her instructions with not eating certain kinds of food. I just turned 27, and I really don't want to take Remicade for the rest of my life without knowing their side effects.
I have been extremely stressed and depressed about this.. crying at work whenever someone ask how I'm doing or so..
Please give me some advice everyone..
