Hi everyone... I'm a 27 year old female I just had 45cm of small intestine removed along with a small piece of colon, my appendix and a golf ball sized abscess. I was taking cimzia, 6MP and Pentasa (along with failed attempts of prednisone) prior to my surgery. It's been about a month since the surgery and I am left with the decision (doc said its up to me) to go on meds immediately or wait.
Does anyone has some insight for me... should I start right away or wait a little while?? AND should I go back to cimzia or try something else like remicade?
I am concerned the cimzia failed me after being on it for 2 years before. I am really confused as to what to do now. I want to stay healthy for as long as possible. Before the surgery I was completely miserable and never want to go back to that. Any input from some of you that already went through this would help greatly.
Thanks so much!
