Reply to "New medicine for pouchitis"

LoriBMember

I had 2 induction infusions of Remicade and developed "drug induced lung disease" specifically ground glass opacities. I am out of breath whenever I even get up to walk across the room! I'm supposed to have some pulmonary function tests tomorrow and the I understand it's high dose steroids to reverse it.

I believe it was working for me. I was starting to feel good again.

Now I wonder if all the other biologics are out of the question and the only thing left is removal of my pouch. Any one hear of this?
