Hello, Well I'm Sarah as you have probably already guessed reading the rest of my profile.
I Have either Crohn's disease or Ulcerative Colitis. They are unable to diagnose me properly as i show symptoms for both. I first got diagnosed with Crohn's disease around 2001/2002 time, but since i have been under the care of Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre they think its Ulcerative Colitis.
Since I moved to Lincoln in 2007 my illness hasn't settled down so I'm backwards and forwards to the hospital.
They were trying me on a new medication called Infliximab which is an infusion into a vein as the digestive system will destroy it if you take orally. When I had my 3rd dose about 15 mins through i got a 39.2 degree temperature so they had to stop it. Now I'm having to go back to the hospital to talk about my options whether they try the Infliximab again or whether we talk about other options. The Infliximab is a definate don't know as it costs £1,500 to make up, so i guess i will find out soon.
