  • Remicade Round IV

    Posted on Sunday November 29th, 2009 at 17:46 in recovery, remicade

    Why Round IV was grand: 1.  They started me on a fancy new protocol last night for the super cool patients who have gone three infusions with no "problems".  Instead of coming in every 15 minutes to increase my rate, they're starting me off...

    I don't think it's that doctors are lacking in diagnostic intelligence, I think it's that they're lacking in communication skills.  No doubt they have reasons for taking certain steps before others (i.e. putting me on an elimination series of an...

    Posted on Sunday November 22nd, 2009 at 19:34 in recovery, antibiotics, nausea

    The urgent care venture was interesting.  Mostly because the mystery was somewhat resolved in only a matter of... four hours (shock and awe!).Apparently, I don't respond to Cipro even though I've never taken any other fluoroquinolone antibiotics...

  • sick day 3: sit rep

    Posted on Sunday November 22nd, 2009 at 18:10 in recovery, nausea, flare, crohn's, promethazine

    I can't really tell if the nausea is due to revitalized pre-flare Crohn's, or from the absurd amount of drugs I'm taking for all the other symptoms that have suddenly arisen.  The pharmacists assure me that they check my file every time they pre...
