I saw a post from 12 years ago about Remicade and have read it.
I have had UC, probably all of my life, but diagnosed for about 3 years. My current GI, whom I’ve been with for over a year is a great guy and is willing to write a letter to my AME, who is also my personal doc of the FAA for that matter. I’m not sure what needs to be in the letter or if anything has changed with OKC in the past 12 years.
Bottom line is that I’m being treated for the UC with Pentasa 2g/day and Remicade 5mg/kg every 8 weeks. I am totally stable, asymptomatic, and haven’t felt this good in for ever. Been on the aforementioned drugs for 12 months with no side effects.
I haven’t had a valid medical since 1994 and am very interested in getting a 3rd class, then BasicMed after that if there is no compelling reason to get the 3rd Class renewed.
Has anyone had any recent experience with the FAA, Remicade, and UC?
Thanks in advance!
