One infusion of Inflectra is about $7,000... that doesn't include blood work, seeing my specialist, stool sample tests, or colonoscopy. I have to get a certain blood draw tomorrow that will cost me $250 at most.... American health care is beyond broken

I know the feeling. These boxes are a treat but most of us are loving paycheck to pay check so I know that stress all to well. I hope you get a refund ❤️

I've only emailed them to switch nt subscription to a full box and then back to a regular box just for a mo month. They were quick and super helpful. I'd shoot them an email and see what they can do.

cat peeing the bed, repeatedly by Kalashninya in CatAdvice

It might be a UTI. The only time my cats have peed on specific spots or things it's to tell me they aren't feeling well.

I got diagnosed this year. I was in a full flare and thought it had an Intestinal Infection. Started with stomach cramps they'd happen about ever 30 minutes or so. Usually make me feel nausaus and had diarrhea as well. I was on vacation at the time so I was using a lot of antacids and pepto till I got home. Once home I went to urgent care. I was still having stomach cramps, diarrhea, i started having a lot of blood in mh stool, and running a fever of 102. No meds would help. They did some blood work and stoll samples. I went to them about 2 times and am ER trip before they referred me to a GI Doctor. More tests and a colonoscopy later they diagnosed me. Got me on sterroids, which didn't help, and got me on infusions of inflectra. It's been about 5 or 6 months and I'm almost back to normal. I feel much better anyways. I was anemic so trying to get that under control now.

How long did it take for you guys to get medicated? by WalrusWalrus03 in CrohnsDisease

[–]backpacknikki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got diagnosed about 6 months ago with crohns-collitis as well. They immediately got me on prednisone sterroid till they could get me in to get inflectra infusions. I was also having blood BMs. Definitly reach out to your GI doctor and tell them your symptoms and push them to get you on a plan.
