Hello All
Finally I was approved for remicade the second time around.
Had my first infusion on Tuesday followed up with another one in 2 weeks.
So far I have not noticed major change except that my joints and muscles
are not as achy today, Still have frequent b/m really watery. I am hoping this
will improve in a couple of days.
I have already inquired about the new drug CIMZIA Dr.says that it is not available in Canada as of yet. Figures aye we are always the last to get drugs approved.
My fistulas are still draining and painful.Oh how I wish they would just disappear.
I will keep you posted on round 2 with remicade.
