Reply to "Fistula in Ano - Pouch advancement surgery"

LC,

I was concerned with infections and became bit of germaphobe- tried to avoid sick people, vigilant hand washing, vitamin C. That said I taught kindergarten special needs and First grade during that entire time. Only one bad bronchitis episode and that was because 16/30 of my students were sick for weeks, then me. I do believe being with kids help boost immunity so if you’ve been around your daughter and other kids that’s an advantage. 

Also, I had spleen removed in 2007 so feel my immune system is already compromised and I get flu shot in September and think you would need pneumococcal vaccine also before starting it.

I've had lots of issues but thankfully no fistula, so not sure how Remicade specifically would help that. Again, good luck!

thanks bill for reminder of other option, when that point comes.
