Hi j pouchers with (or have had) fistulas. I have a fistula that hasn't been too horrible but is still very annoying. I've had it something like 10 years now and I've done the glue, a plug, and now a seton stitch. My surgeon recommended remicade as basically the only thing that might get rid of a fistula when I asked for the seton. I was afraid to try remicade at the time because I had an infant daughter starting daycare and coming home with a million diseases and I've known people who had severe side effects. Has anyone gone this route? What was the protocol like? Was it successful? I am feeling under pressure to get the treatment soon because my health insurance is probably the best it will ever be right now and I don't think I could afford the treatment without excellent coverage (yaay America).
