Wednesday, March 31, 2010
I had my third Remicade infusion on Friday last week, 3/26. It actually wasn’t the coolest experience since I had a reaction within an hour of it starting. The Benadryl made me feel awful the first time I took it, so I had half the amount for my second infusion, and a ¼ the amount [...]

Monday, January 11, 2010
This is something that I don’t talk about very much, but it is very important. In a nutshell, I probably waited 5 or 6 years and suffered with Ulcerative Colitis before I really did anything.
