Guest guest Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Yo my PSC Peeps-- Fred was discharged after 5 days in Club Med (or the Big House, as Sandi Pearlman calls it) Friday afternoon, only to be re-admitted this morning with lots of rectal bleeding. (New symptom for him.) He said he felt like his colon was trying to expel itself, which certainly doesn't sound very pleasant to me. So...tomorrow he starts Remicade, as it seems like the best option to us and we had to make a change. The only thing working to ANY degree to control his UC as of late was high dose IV steroids. He'll hopefully return home Tues. or Wed. if the Remicade does, indeed, " rock, " like the gastro thinks it will for him. Wife of Fred PSC 03/04, UC 03/06, Pancreatitis, bacterial bug (Bubba), and terribly awful UC flare up 03/09 (Is March over yet already???)
