Does anyone know where I can get suitable trousers that are comfortable with a belt
line that does not sit on top of my colostomy, you cant really wear joggers to a formal
dinner.

If you wear a stoma shield it does not matter where the belt line is, and if you live in Canada you can order a free shield from Convatec at 1-800-465-6302; if you live elsewhere you can ask Convatec if they provide them in your area, or you can see if another company has a similar product.

Geekyjen,

Thanks for the reply.  I will be seeing my doctor on Friday and mention Entyvio.  I did not remain paralyzed for more than 2 days, but it was terrible and I was so scared.  The doctors just used alot of xanax and other drugs like that to UN paralyze my joints that were being attacked by the remicade.  Turns out I have been diagnosed with LUPUS. It is attacking my nervous system.  I had ulcerative colitis in 1996 and they had to remove my colon.  Had a J pouch for 10 years, until it started failing.  I then got a permanent iliosomy, and I suffer from severe chronic diareha, and I dehydrate frequently.  I recently had a proctectomy, and that is when the new autoimmune disorder, Lupus, appeared.  I have had two hospital stays now because of the blisters and the paralyzing incident.  I will be dealing with this forever now.  I have just been working on acceptance.

I love this website because of wonderful people like you!
