I was diagnosed with UC 5 years ago. Had 2-3 flare-ups a year, but started one in January and have tried different meds to no avail. I have been on asacol for the 5 years. I have my 1st remicade infusion Monday. The comments Ive read here have helped me with some of my concerns. I'm really hoping & praying that this will work. I'm looking forward to more time with my family & less time in the bathroom.

Hi Bob and :welcome:

I'm glad you found your way here 'cause this is a fab place for support and info!

Sorry to hear about the rough time you have been having but I will be keeping everything crossed that the Remicade does the trick! I'm guessing you have already found the Remicade forum, please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have.

Good luck and keep us posted Bob, welcome aboard!

Take care, :hug:

Thanks for the welcomes & kind words. I'm really praying that the remicade works. The last few months have not been pleasant. I tried the 6MP & ended up in the ER with pancreatitis, very painful. My dr. says if this doesn't work, there are 2 more drugs, both self injected & after that surgery. SO- please wish me luck & prayers really do help!! I will keep up posted (tomorrow I start remicade)

Welcome to the site!

I really wish you luck with the Remicade! Hope it works out for you and you don't have to go through with the other meds and surgery.
