Unfortunately I have no experience with Remicade. Originally my doc wanted my on Entyvio but the insurance insisted that I try Humira first. It hasn't all been smooth sailing, but thankfully it's gotten me into remission and I do appreciated the convenience of home injections (takes less than 5 mins, no pain). It took me about 2 months to reach a steady spot where I was able to taper from steroids. I did have to go up to weekly injections to get a good result.

I wish Humira work for you till a real cure is discovered!

Humira is way superior to getting infusions, IMO. It's so fast and easy (and it's way cheaper than Remicade infusions were). I hated my infusion experience. It was a huge pain in the butt.

i think handling of stress is very importans when i was firstly in hospital then it was very singnificang part if the treament. You have to close out the effect of the stress for the illnes. i have receveid calming down medicines 'frontin' yes i know that each peaople try to avoid to take these kind of medicines but it can calm down you whole body , your mind, and colon too.
i am always worried about my illneses.
With frontun my is head is clear, i am positive...this is very important.....your stress level....try minimize the effect of the stress...it us not only the stress...but it has effect this illnes...
my profgessir told me now the official medical statement is the cause of the IBD: sourrrindings( stress, family, life, healty life and so on) your genetic, and the meal.
so the stress aprox 10 -20 % effect to your illnes...try to minimize...

My son seems to be calm... of course, he is anxious inside. I am probably the most stressed one (visibly) on the family. Already planning my first visit to a psychologist to help me to deal with my stress that may affect my son and others in my family. I am a locomotive in terms of always looking for new approaches/doctors/research, but I am not coping well with my son's illness.
