This is the news I've been waiting for and I'm sure a lot of others. The final approval still has to be made by the FDA but, it's looking better for those of us expecting approval by the end of the year.

That's great. I saw something the other day that stated exactly the opposite. It's good to hear it will be getting approval.

Good to hear!

I have been waiting for this! I stopped Remicade months ago to try and go to Humira (a financial choice). I have been declined and my doctor is neglecting me and his nurses say appealing is useless.

When this is approved I will get what I need!

Please I would suggest you change the topic of this thread and replace the word Approve with recommends approval. It's not approved by the FDA yet and it really got my hopes up with the topic.

xeekk ,Maybe you need a new GI. Someone to help you get approved. In the meantime I hope it gets approved soon!
Faith

That's great news!

I have been thinking about getting a new GI, but I've had this one since the beginning of this for years.
One problem is most of the GIs here are apart of a single organization and pretty much work together already (GI Ass.).

I've gone through 4 GI's since moving to Florida 5 years ago. If I'm not happy I move on. The one I have now is great. He's so happy when I'm doing better. He's a pleasure!
