She had a rough day/weekend...at the ER last night at 10. Last I can tell she still isn't in a "room" room. Just in a ER room....
She had her colon removed...she will have the Jpouch procedure in a few months. The leakage, if I am correct, is not around the jpouch area....
Any of y'all have any leaks internally after the surgery? My wife was doing good but hadn't felt well for a day or so. She went to the ER last night and has a bruised pelvis, probably from the...
FYI, jellybean forgot to log me out and post under her own name on that last one. haha....
I am 22 years old and I have been married for about 2 months now. My husband has been so wonderful throughout this flare-up. I was diagnosed with UC when I was 17, but it was not severe until...

I think I am just going to try the food diary. I had started one the last time I was put into the hospital. Recently, I have figured out that dairy is my enemy. Spicy foods and fried foods have...

Anyone currently on HUMIRA who had experience with remicade before? Either way. Is HUMIRA pretty effective? Our doctor is telling my wife she needs remicade but he (as far as I know) has said nothing...
My wife reads on here so I hope this falls off before she reads it. I hate this darn disease. It is taking her life away and that isn't fair for her. I just spent the last 30 min. in a back office at...

Can anyone give me the info on Remicade? My wifes doctor is wanting to start her on that and I have done little research on it. Seems to be kinda pricy. I'm sure insurance will cover much of it, but...
Just got out yesterday. She is having a rough time. She'll wake up at least 4 to 6 times a night having to go to the bathroom and all that comes out is blood. Her doc. says her blood counts aren't...
