crohn's disease, maintenance
"I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease when I was 16 years old.  I am now 47.  Remicade has been a blessing.  I am one of the very fortunate ones to have no real side effects.  I have been on Remicade for at least 6 years.  I am able to hold down an excellent job and enjoy being a wife and mother.  I am grateful that I have a job with great benefits.  I wish that the cost was not so outrageous so that others could benefit from this medicine.  My son is on Humira and they have a program that decreases the cost significantly.  Even with my insurance, they cover a large portion of my co-pay.  All we can do is hope that the makers of Remicade will offer the same some day."
