Yes, my GI and I decided together to be off as of 30 weeks in my pregnancy, and we also chose to not be on it while breastfeeding. I know 'they' say its ok, but for my peace of mind, I didn't want to...
I have been off Remicade for about 6-7 months (the tail end of my pregnancy, and a few months of breastfeeding), and I'm about to go back on it, as I'm starting to flare. Does anyone know if I have...
Hey Remicade users, I've been having bad reactions to Remicade the last 2 times I've received it, so my doctor has ordered a few pre-meds this time: Tylenol, IV gravol, IV benadryl and IV solu...
I'm from Montreal, and I am so embarassed and upset that I live in a province that elected that woman. The things that some dude wrote are just the tip of the iceberg. This woman has it out for the...

I just woke up from a racing heart, and thought I would ask the question: does anyone else with UC also have any heart problems? I only started having heart issues 4 months after being diagnosed with...
Hey, I was actually put on both at the same time 4 years ago. I asked my doctor about the cancer risk, and while it is very real, it is also very very small. You usually go on both so that you don't...
Thanks for the responses. Notsosicklygirl: I am currently taking prednisone, cortifoam and cortenemas. 5-Asa drugs don't work for me. I am also about to start Remicade in the coming week. My GI...
Hey everyone, I was wondering what painkillers you use for yor UC pain, OTC or prescription. I have really horrible painful cramps and am wondering what works best for the pain. In the past I've...
Hi everyone, I was just wondering if there was anyone from Montreal in this forum. I'm from there and it would be great to connect with other people from my area, to discuss doctors, treatments,...
Hi everyone, I've been reading this forum for years, but just decided to actually register today. So this is my first post. I know this question has been asked before, but I don't see anything too...
