Fistula is closed after second dose of remicade, radiologist called the surgeon while I was on the table then yanked the jp drain out. I'm on cloud 9...pretty dang sore but a great day.

Just wanted to share the good news. Back to work.

My daughter's fistula healed after only 1 of 3 treatments of Remicade! That was in 2004 and she has not had another problem with it since. I remember the drain was jabbing her constantly and it was so painful. What a relief when it was out. So happy for you!!

Yep, mine was a jabber too.

This all started in December, and this is my first forward progress since the beginning. After all this time of things getting progressively worse, it seems I may have hit bottom and started to climb. Sure there may be bumps, but I seem to be responding very well to the remicade.

Thanks all, onward and upward!
