I'm on Remicade and I have serious staff infections with it. I have to take antibotics so I can continue the treatment. Cause of my finacial situtation. I can't work and I can't get the help I need from Medicaid and still waiting on Appeal. This is all the doctors can do for me right now until I get some help. Pretty soon I'm going to get immuned to the antobotics and it won't stop the infections. I'm seriously think about just giving up and go without medicine.

Maybe you can get help from the crohns foundation, I know money is being donated to the foundation its worth a try. I know this for a fact, if you stay in the hospital at least 28 days medicaid will pick up the bill, I live in Alabama and thats the rule here, check with your state medicaid office and see what they can do or ask for a emergency appeal, best wishes, Marcie

I wish I had some advice to give you. It sounds like a real bad situation. I would talk with your GI and see what else can be done. Good luck.
