Remicade has been wonderful for me since starting it in December 2009. About six weeks ago I started having a horrible painful rash on my hands. Finally went to the Dermatologist because it wouldn't...

Thanks Nanners! Hope you are feeling better! Yeah being sick makes me miss him even more :)...
Well I guess all things must come to an end! I had 9 months of heaven being on Remicade. My WBC is high and I am very inflamed at my Terminal Ileum. I am on a ton of meds trying to get everything...
I am the tallest in my family at 5'10". I was diagnosed at 27 yrs old and now I am 32. Being female I have always considered myself tall compared with my friends :)...
Thanks guys for the support! Skyped with my husband last night which was wonderful :) Hopefully the time will go fast!...

Remicade alone since December and I have never been better!...
It is more than likely a cyst. I do CT for a living and I see them all the time. Praying for good news!!! :-)...
My last CT scan I had they found a spot on my liver that had grown. It ended up being a hemangioma. It is very common and most likely will never even have to be treated! Hope I could help!...
I go to work right after my infusion. The first few times were hard just simply due to complete exhaustion! The one I had last week was the first time I wasn't tired, but I did take a 2 hour nap :)...
I actually just got married last September. I know this sounds crazy but there is so much going on I swear I never thought about my Crohns one time! I ate breakfast that morning (wedding was at 4pm)...
I totally understand that! Everyone kept telling me they saw my xrays and they couldn't believe how messed up my insides were!! Pretty annoying especially when you don't feel good and are scared...
bar77- It was so weird and uncomfortable! At least I was still a little drugged from the colonoscopy! I can't imagine ever having to do one on a rad! WEIRD!! I am doing CT now so no more BE's, but I...
Hands down the BE (barium enema)!!!! I am a xray tech and have been performing these exams for a few years. I always feel bad for the patients because I know it is painful! When I was hospitalized in...

I am pretty new to Remicade, but I hope I can help you a little. I was hospitalized back in December. They found out I had an abcess and 2 fistulas. Before doing surgery the docs agreed to try...
I don't really have problems with nausea, but I just started Remicade about a month ago and I am so fatigued!! It takes everything in me to go to work everyday. I have been wanting to get back...
I hope it works for you too!...
My abscess hasn't caused me any pain lately. I was on flagyl, levoquin, and predisone for about a week. I am not currently on anything except the Remicade. The doctor told me by my drop in white...
I spent the week before Christmas in the hospital. They found I had 2 fistulas and an abscess. Long story short all the doctors thought it would be best to try Remicade before doing surgery. I just...
Thanks for all the encouragement everyone! Basil we do sound like we have a lot in common! Had my second Remicade treatment today and it went well! I also got the good news that my WBC had dropped...
