Visable sign of improvement

Its been a little over a week since my first Remicade infusion. I'm improving.

As some of you know I've been dealing with ulcers under the wafer of my ileostomy (2 years). Today I changed the appliance and found the ulcers are drying up and closing over. If I can get the pics off my old phone I'll post before and after pictures.

Great news! It would be very cool to see the difference. I know many have used remicade to heal all kinds of skin problems with the ostomy. It sounds like it is usually successful.

That's great! I hope things continue to improve. My son's transformation happened after the first treatment. Now that he has had surgery I hope he can go back to it with better results.

I've just had my third infusion and I've noticed my skin in general is so much better than its ever been .

Remicade for me worked after the first infusion, about 3 days later... I went form 7-8 bowls a day to 2-3. less abdominal pain and no blood.

That is great news!:applause:

I'm very pleased with the results so far. I'm still hoping for an increase in energy.

for me, I got an increase in energy after iron infusions. I got 2-3, they really help, considering I was very low in iron during my relapse, that being the reason for my lack of energy, lost a lot of blood through stools.

The bizzare thing is I'm not anemic anymore. I'll ask them to check everything at my next appointment this month.
