first off I would like to say that the last meeting was nice and it
was a pleasure to meet people who are kind of going through the same
things i am.

my symptoms have not been any better since my flare up in the
summer. prednisone, and all these other meds just seem not to work
but for some odd reason i just can't sleep through the night. so
tuesday i am going in for this remicade thing. can someone just
explain to me what it actually does and if so does it help right
away. i would just like once to lay my head down and not wake up
until the morning time to go to the bathroom, problems would be
solved in my book if that could happen.

i only have my rectum left and 20% of it is inflammed, it's hard cuz
i don't see what is so hard to treat about that. any help would be
great and how often do i do this remicade thing. can't attend the
next meeting but i plan to attend more in the future. any help would
be awesome. thanks.
