Running and Remicade and Setons, oh my! Perfect thread for me. A year and a half ago I was running half marathons. Then came the fistula. Then came the egg-sized abscess, the C-Diff, the 2 weeks in the hospital, the 9 surgeries, seton, advancement flap surgery, another abscess, another seton, and finally a Crohn's diagnosis after over a year of colo-rectal issues - yes, it took THAT long to realize a normal 22 year old doesn't have that many butt issues!
Anyway, trying so hard to get back into the fitness that I used to love. I still love it but I'm afraid it hates me. As with CanadianRunner, I have a seton that, when draining, causes very painful chafing! But anything I put on it goes through my shorts at the gym. I've only had my first 2 doses of Remicade... Does it get better? I want to lift and run! Also, does anyone take anything in addition to Remicade? I've heard of some people on Imuran oral at the same time.
