Ahhh

I hate remicade! My veins just recently started not cooperating due to overuse...

But remicade has probably saved my life.

[TheLipxGloss]

I'm 12 years old and I'm going to start remicade tomorrow... I also have very weak veins... I also have crohn's

[3whisperedwords]

why dont you just get a colostomy? Be glad it's UC and not crohn's....:( For UC a colostomy is a total and complete cure.

[WARDE2000]

@3whisperedwords

Colostomy is not a cure for UC. Ripping out a part of the body is not a cure.

[3whisperedwords]

@WARDE2000 I agree that "ripping out" a body part is not ideal but at least its an option that stops UC permanently. I have crohns and got a permanent colostomy just for one little section that was utterly useless and macerated. If I had UC I would never deal with the issues of bleeding, pain etc again. I would prefer UC over crohns anyday because CD has other accompanying ailments that are debilitating,affects your ENTIRE GI tract, lifetime of surgeries and will be back over and over forever.

[WARDE2000]

@3whisperedwords

Its the only way to stop the constant flare ups. I have UC been in hospital for the last 3 weeks with the mother of all flare up. Staring surgery in the face. Trying to keep the chin up. Lifes a bitch sometimes.

[3whisperedwords]

@WARDE2000 Keep your chin up....I know it sucks sometimes:(

But I swear to you it won't be the end of the world if you end up with a colostomy.

I am sorry you have to go through it. But that's one way pf kicking UC's ass...no pun intended. :)

[robicool]

@WARDE2000 worked for me. and please dont use the word "ripping", it undermines the skill and talent of the surgeons who perform these operations

[TheGuitaross]

@WARDE2000 What do you know. ignorant kid

[WARDE2000]

@TheGuitaross

I know enough been suffering with UC for long enough now.

[TheGuitaross]

@WARDE2000 so have i. i had the j pouch. 3-4 trips a day. ill call that a cure...

[drummahaerogirl]

oh wow... i had one Remicade infusion....and I'm almost glad my colon went crazy and they had to remove it... I wouldn't of liked to be on remicade for the rest of my life
