I have been taking a biologic treatment made of human cells for a little over a month now. My doctor suspects that I am still flaring even on this treatment and she is going to do a colonoscopy to confirm her suspicions.
Here is the dilemma I am facing ...
The other treatment she is considering is another biologic, one that is made of live mouse cells. Now I know this may seem childish to some. Especially when my health is in jeopardy but, I just can not bring myself to take live mouse cells. I am deathly afraid of rodents. I can't even see a rodent on television without screaming and cringing. Just the thought of something of them being pumped into my body freaks me the hell out. I am hoping and praying with everything in me that the treatment that I am currently on is working because I am going to have a serious moment letting my doctor know that I can not bring myself to take the medication she is recommending.
