so i posted not so long ago regarding agony i had under my left rib. The pain grew so intense i struggled to even pick myself off the sofa resulting in my doctor referring me back to the hospital where i an staying (im on holiday) the spent a few days checking for pancreatitis and kidney summer and so on before coming up short and finally finding me a GI who took a look at an xray ray inflammation and constipation and straight away booked me in for a flexible sig. Confirmed what he saw took the biopsys and started IV steroids. Since friday when i had the scope i've felt crohns symptoms which i didn't feel before i blame the pred lol. My crp has come down to 40 (i'm sure this is still high?) and theres talk of sending me good today even though i have not had a bowel movement in 3 days and they want me to make an emergency appoint and and 12 hour round trip to my usual hospital to receive the infliximab infusion that they wish to retry... All seems a bit of palming off going on here. Don't get me wrong i'd love to get out of here but i don't feel ready... How successful is restarting infliximab? Can they expect my usual hospital to just hand out treatment? If not will my previous funding carry over or do i have to wait? Like i said i'm on holiday its s stop over before moving back to the states in june lol. Exactly how i planned my trip haha! Sorry for any miss spellings am on a horrid mobile phone. Thanks for hearing me rant lol
