It did close in 2010 with Remicade treatment. I have not had issues until just a month ago when there was drainage and I could feel it. (it's located at the base of my vagina) I was put on two antibiotics which quieted things down.
I want Remicade as an option when I absolutely need it since I know it works for me. As of now, I have not developed antibodies. Because I feel good and my symptoms are only fatigue and minimal joint pain, I want to wait.
Thank you for your input.
i also had a re acuring fistula (sp) in between my vag amd butt. I have had 2 infusions so far and its healing already. My hair is falling out like crazy..but my stomach pain is slowly going away. My nails are growing like crazy (this has NEVER happened...i never had any nails). I still experience body aches..but hopeful with more treatments!
i say out weigh the good and bad..and see which one is stronger..the good or bad. For me..the good out weighed the bad..and i was left out of options.
