I have Ulcerative Colitis and just started my first treatment of Remicade (IV) yesterday, which will be given every 8 weeks instead of the medication I have been taking for the past 7 years. I have had Remicade infusions before but it was along with steroids. My question is asking if anyone knows how long it should take for the Remicade to start "healing" my flare-up. I have been bleeding for 2 weeks. Like I said, I have been responsive to Remicade before but it was along with steroids so I don't know which was working at what time. I am just now beginning the every 8 weeks treatment. Before, I was given 3 treatments at once, like they do for Crohn's patients.

It acts like chiggers, but I haven't been anywhere to get them. The only place I've been is in the pool. The bumps are itchy and small and they are only where my bathingsuit goes.(2-piece) I was told that maybe they are water bug bites, but I never felt anything biteing me. There are a few on my back and arms. These things are driving me insane. Can someone please hlep me. They look and feel just like chigger bites! No kind-of creams will help. I've tried! HELP! HELP! HELP!

I've just got my blood pressure measured. It is 168/76.
Is this correct. I thought sistolic and diastolic is suppose to rise at same time ( im 31). Should i get it measured again. What does this mean?? Does this indicate a medical condition??

Thanks
