I had like 5 doctors around me standing by with those electric pedals and adrenalin shots with huge fucking needles. But luckily after about 15 minutes it got over. I still have nightmares about that. They told me just about 0,1% get that kind of reaction so I guess I was just unlucky.

Another drug that works great but is even more expensive is Humira. If you are lucky and it works for you, you basically get cured.

Crazy to see how many people on GFY have UC/Chrons?

What do you guys think about the swine flu and how it will affect us? According to my doctor I should defiantly get a vaccine...
Thanks mate I´ll read up on Remicade as well for my brother, who is in the first stage of UC atm. Swine flu I don't know really, we get the flu shots for free here. I might get the 2 needed but I´m unsure since I´m a little allergic to eggs.
