I have been using remicade for about 4 months and it has been working really well except for the fact that it will stop working at about 4 and a half to 5 weeks so my doctor keeps uping the dose. I am now at the limit he wants to put me. So far it has been 2 days since my treatment and i am not noticing a big difference. Usually it is noticable the next day or so. If this doesn’t last 6 weeks then I will have to use some other medication like humira. I can do an IV but the thought of a self injected needle really scares me. How long does it take most people to get a responce from remicade and would some of my stomach issues be provoked by anxiety and nervousness of possible having to use another medication. I have noticed I usually have to use the bathroom imediatly after somthing that is scarry happens. Should I talk to my doctor about this?
The one’s that find cures for diseases? Like Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative Colitis, and those type of things?
No, i have Crohns too. Thats the type of doctor you go to. They dont find cures, they just help you.
My mom has been diagnosed with Chron’s disease over the summer. Just recently, the skin on her hands has been…. sort of hardening I guess. It feels like leather and is blistered. She puts lotion on it, but it still cracks and bleeds.
What kind of lotion or medicine can she put on it to stop it from drying and cracking?
