IBD is like MS in the way that it is different for every person. My h has had very good results and minimal side effects from Remicade, a biologic. It's an infusion type drug, not an injectable. Remicade is used in patients with Crohn's or colitis.

My son has been on 6-mp for 5 years and is doing very well. It's not a biologic. My h tried 6-mp and developed pancreatitis from it.

I hope you hear from your doc soon, Barb . It's hard enough dealing with one crazy disease. I'll be thinking about you.
