[quote=Anonymous]So sorry you're going through this, OP. You may have luck contacting the drug company - most have patient support programs that can help financially, although there are usually financial criteria. In the meantime - if you can - suck it up and fill the Rx and see if it works. It sounds like a lot of PPs have had great success with similar treatment, hopefully you'll do the same and once you're under control maybe you can figure out diet/lifestyle changes that can reduce your need for medication. But get it under control!

This can be a manageable disease or it can be super difficult to treat. I know several people who can't even get it under control with the most aggressive treatment, my DH being one. I'm actually sitting with him in ICU after he had emergency surgery to have his colon removed over the weekend. He was diagnosed with an initial flare in August, obviously much more severe than yours.

Hugs to you and your family. This treatment might be expensive and literally a pain in the butt, but hopefully it wipes it out. Good luck. [/quote]
