Back into hospital again!

G'day trendsetters,

I have been rushed back to hospital this morning at 8.30am for a reload dose of Remicade infusion treatment to try and see if it can finally heal the fistula tears in my bowel also help heal the Perianal Abscesses and the Intersphincteric Abscess which are located around the anus and the pelvic floor musel

Antibiotics are often given in order to fight surrounding infection (cellulitis) but it
is important to remember that antibiotics alone cannot cure an abscess because
they cannot enter the cavity. Surgery is almost always necessary.

If left untreated the perianal abscess can result into serious complications such
as gangrene of the perineum and general sepsis.

A significant number of perianal abscesses will recur within a year or two,
particularly if there are pre-disposing factors. A number of them will give rise to
“fistula in ano” which is discussed separately.

That's why Trendsetters i must have Remicade treatment infusions ever 8 weeks for the rest of my life.

PS,i have to go ambulance is to pick me up

Regards,

RLI

Hi mate,

you have my best sympathies, i hope it all works out ok for you. You say that at the moment you will need treatments every 8 weeks for the rest of you life, but dont loose hope mate, the rate at which technology and medicine is advancing there may be a big break through with your illnes and they will be able to fix those things, or make the treatment every 9 weeks.. or so, but im sure you catch my drift.

all the best

Hey Paul - gee that was quick - we were only talking about it yesterday! Hope all goes well and if you or Ally need anything give me a shout.

Jas

Sorry to hear Paul, you're certainly having a rough time of it. Hope it's only a short stay and you're up and about soon.
Jack

That's no good mate.

Hope everything sorts itself out soon, don't want this sort of drama hanging over your head on your Cape trip.

Let me know if you need anything mate.

You make me realise how lucky I am with my health, hope it goes smooth for you mate.
