Ok... FINALLY some good news!!
My Small bowel follow through showed no blockages! I was kinda worried about
that.. WHEW... Also, I went to my Neurologist today and I DON'T have MS either!!!! WOO HOO!!!!
Although, I still can't resume the Remicade, the reps for both Remicade and Humira said I shouldn't go back on either one because the neurological side effects I had from the Remi could come back and even worse the next time.. Also if it did come back worse it might not resolve like it did this time.. so...
I'm sticking with Pentasa for now and In about
3 weeks I am going to swallow the Pill Cam... That should be interesting! My GI is thinking that I have Crohn's and not U/C, but we'll see... I still have this right sided pain, but it is getting better, slowly but surely :)

Woo hoo, indeed! You surely deserve that good news after all you've been through in recent months. I hope the Pentasa turns things around for you; I know someone with Crohn's affecting ileum + right colon who does well on it in combo with Imuran. / Old Hat (30 yrs with left-sided UC; presently in remission taking brandname Colazal)

Awesome news Susie!!!!! Hope this will give you a bit of an emotional/mental break and that the Pentasa helps.
Looking forward to hearing how the pill cam goes....
Are you having any improvement with your symptoms at all?

OH...thankgoodness...what a relief. So happy to hear good news!!!!!Do you think the pain you are having could be female related??? I have a cyst on my ovary that causes some pain every month. Wish there was something you could gone on for the UC...maybe they will develope some new medicine for you to use...
