Has anyone out there developed either condition? I had U.S in 1995 and a j-pouch that worked great until about 4 years ago. (I also had avn and bilateral hip replacements in 08 and 2012) In Sept 2012, I was admitted to the hospital for 18 days with a fistula and a microperf of my pouch. Did the Prometheus blood work that came back indeterminent. I was there for 19 days. The docs decided that it was time to try a biologic,so we started Remicade that day. Did o.k. Last month I had a CTscan and scope. My doc saw NOTHING! He said if he didn't know who was on the table, he'd think it was a healthy person. What's been happened over the last 3 or so months it tremendous pain in my feet and hands,especially in the mornings. After a bit of moving around, it eases. I've also been treated by a pain center for back pain. It feels like I have a pain belt around my waist. My GP thinks it's Lupus. I think it's fibro. Anyone have any information or experiences to share? Blood work to be done. Rheumetologists are hard to come by here.
