Hello there people, I was first diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 2000 and then diagnosed with Crohns's in 2002. I have been on many medications, asacol,endocort,salofalk, most just made the disease managable. My GI doctor then prescribed me Remicade. I did my first Remicade iv injection on Nov 17, we'll see how that works out. So far I feel pretty good.

Welcome bmac...There's a 'Remicade club' thread...I hope you have good results with it. It has really helped me as well.
In my 13 years with Crohn's, the best thing I ever did was go on Remicade. It stopped working for me this year, but that was after 10 happy years. Everything has been down hill since. Hope it works out for you! It is a miracle drug in my opinion.
