InSoFla, I'm doing okay. Right now, the joint inflammation and pain is the most annoying, but i'm just taking it on a day by day basis. I see the GI this upcoming week, so we'll talk about options...
InSoFla, The cardiologist put me on two medications for the inflammation. A high dose NSAID called Indomethacin (75mg 3 times daily) and a drug that has been shown to cause improvement, but it's only...
Yep, I'm officially off remicade, permanently, now. The rheumy was gonna call my gastro and see about switching me to Humira. I'll definitely talk to him about the LDN since a prescription is needed....
I'm not on here much and I'm more of a lurker, but I thought everyone on Remicade needs to hear this. I've been on remicade for close to 3 years now and it did help me get into remission, but about 1...
Yes, i love what i do. Plus, there's definitely job security as most med techs are baby boomers and there's a major shortage. So, you can basically get a job wherever in the united states you want....

Yeah, i had my appointment with my gastro and he seems to think i may be developing RA. Says he's pretty sure it's not the remicade. So i have an appointment to meet with a rheumatologist on march...

I've been on remicade for about 1 1/2 years now and started having joint issues in november. It seems like since my remicade dose in late october, that about a month after each dose i get this...
I'll definitely try the fish oil or bee propolis. I figured i'd talk to my gi about vsl#3 on my next appointment. I was taken off the rowasa enema, because it started to cause chronic diarrhea and...
I'm just at my wits end here. I was doing great and was finally in remission for the first time in over a year. Then in March, i came down with a nasty salmonella infection which totally knocked me...
Yes, 40 mg is a fairly common dose. I was on that multiple times, for 3 months or longer. The things to watch for while taking it are increased appetite, moon face, bloating, etc. So, it is...
well, i definitely don't have an infection. I feel fine. I've been off the entocort for 6 months now, and my usual wbc count is 6 or 7. And i know a normal wbc count range is 4.5 to 11. So i'm just...
Has anyone ever had their wbc count go up on azathioprine instead of down? My count each month never goes below 7 and the last couple of months it has steadily gone up. On dec. the 20th, it was 10.5....
