Need some support

Hi everyone,

I could really use some support right now. I’ve been in the hospital for a week dealing with severe ulcerative colitis and a C. diff infection. I just finished a 10-day course of Dificid for C. diff, and my flex sig revealed severe pancolitis. Unfortunately, I haven’t been responding to IV steroids, and I’m still having 15+ bowel movements a day.

Yesterday at 7 p.m., I received a rescue dose of Remicade, but I’m worried because I haven’t seen any results yet. I’ve heard it usually has a fast response, so I’m feeling anxious. The next step could be Rinvoq, and if that doesn’t help, surgery is on the table. I never thought I’d be facing surgery so early in my life, and I really want to do everything possible to avoid it.

Has anyone here had success with similar situations? Any encouraging stories would mean a lot to me right now.

Thank you.
