Hi Bridgett,

Think you are talking about remicade.... have to say one thing for the

stuff.. after the first infusion i could walk without a cane... My crohns

started going into remission also... Tho I haven't ever gotten to 100% I have

to say its is better than it was before... Wish it worked on all our pains

:-) Though I also was on Imuran also with the remicade. I even made it into a

remmision for about a year. As of now I am in a low level flare and really

dont want to go back to the DR until I cant stand it any longer. Just hate to

go in and see that guy. its never fun.

Though I did have a question. Has anyone ever taken Stadol NS ... not sure

about the spelling... a friend had it for head aches and I was having a bad

time of it and tried it... WOW gotta say it did get rid of the pain.... I

think? dont remember it really mattering one way or the other. LOL ... as of

now for pain our only option is vicodin.. cant have ANY aspirin products what

so ever...

Meds are hard cause I am allergic to so many. Right now the DR says that

something is going wrong with the liver function. that he is going to watch

it? Well, I kinda thought lets fix it not watch it... I myself think its all

the Tylenol that is in all the meds.. thats why I am looking for a pain

killer that is just that ... no junk we dont need ... well kinda feel like IM

babbling here ... and really still haven't caught up with all that going on

here. Tried that digest and cant do it need to just get emails. works best

for me.

OK thats all thanks
