As you all know, I have been suffering from my rectum for almost a year now. Lately, things got worse. When I was administering Budesonide enema, I noticed there was a lump in the
opening of my anus and I had to force the enema. So, I saw a colorectal surgeon. Upon examination, he stated that I have fibrosis due to constant inflammation and mentioned that it is incurable and I should forget about
it. I brought this to my GI’s attention when I last visited him. At the beginning, he said that I shouldn’t worry and it seems that he gave it a second thought and then put a plan. I should have the flu vaccine this week. I also need to have an MRI pelvis and see him in 2 weeks. He mentioned that we have to reduce inflammation in order not to get fibrosis again So, I was put on rifaximin twice per day, Pentasa suppository, and Imuran. After the 2 weeks, he would consider increasing the frequency of Remicade to return to a monthly infusion after the results of the MRI are out and I should report to him how I feel: whether things got better (hopefully) or worse. My real problem is the watery diarrhea; I’m drained. Did anyone suffer from fibrosis and how was it treated?
