- Anyone here live there and also on Remicade?I am moving there in a month and am interested if anyone on Remicade can tell me if they have to pay out there for their treatment? Anything you can tell me helps! Thanks!
- Anyone get any patches of dry skin?I've had my fourth dose of Remicade at the beginning of the month and have noticed some little dry, red patches on my stomach, chest and neck, Something I have never had anything like this before so I can only...
- I want to know at what point you would go to see your doctor?It has been a week straight now of bloody diarrhea.. but more importantly.. there are trips to the bathroom where the blood literally pours out of me. Today I passed something that I can...
- I am asking because I am trying to be more open about it. I have had Ulcerative Colitis for almost 12 years. But I have only recently been semi-comfortable telling anyone about it. The only people that know about my disease are my immediate family,...
- Hi! I've just had my first IV infusion of Remicade last Thursday. I've been doing lots of reading, research and asking questions about this drug before starting it.. but now I'm reading on some sites and boards that it is/can cause some people to...
- This may have been asked before or talked about before (hell, I might have posted about this long ago and I don't remember)! Has anyone noticed their UC or crohn's change over time? I have been sick for 11 years and I've noticed that when I have...
- I have been having trouble sleeping and am trying to find something natural that I can take instead of the usual over the counter sleeping pill.I bought some melatonin today and read on the back that people with immune system diseases should consult...
- Has anyone on here gone to see a naturopath or homeopathic doctor before? I have a friend with MS and she swears by going to see her homeopath. I've always been a little unsure of whether or not to spend the money on going to see one myself. But...
- I went and saw my doctor today and he decided that the Asacol is for sure not working for me to control all my symptoms. Unfortunately it is only helping me about 60% now. So they have given me three options. All of which I don't like.. or am not...
- Anybody on here taking the probiotic Align? I haven't done a lot of research as a probiotic is a probiotic. However, I did see commercials on TV for Align and I was drawn to it. I went out and bought it last night and have started taking it. It is...
- I have had UC for almost 11 years now (I'm 25) so I've been dealing with it for nearly half my life. I have been lucky enough that the Asacol I started taking when I was diagnosed helped my disease fairly quickly and I was symptom free (while taking...
- My doctor has recently changed my prescription from Asacol to Imuran.My ulcerative colitis is only mildly active right now and I am not experiencing the same results as I have for the past 10 years on Asacol. So my doctor decided that it is time for...
- I'm thinking about donating blood. I tried to years ago but was told that because I have UC and had two blood transfusions a year prior they wouldn't allow me to donate blood. I was researching online and I see that in the States people with UC that...
- I'm just wondering if anyone (Canada, or the US, although I'm in Canada) is able to claim their probiotics on their medical insurance. I haven't called and asked anyone yet but I was just curious if anyone here has tried or is able to do that.I was...
- I'm just excited and wanted to share. I went for a check up colonoscopy today and my doctor said things look "excellent". Excellent?! I've never heard that word in relation to my disease! Excellent. He told me, and it says on this sheet they gave me...
