Ok - thanks for responding. This immunity business is a bit of a worry now :daydreaming:. I fought with my doc about going on this stuff - at the time I wasn't aware that it's possible to control Crohn's with diet alone, and of course he didn't tell me this :mad:.

hoons, how are things going? I have Crohn's too and am planning on emigrating to Australia, so of course, trying to figure out the best route. My doctor put me on Infliximab (aka Remicade/Revellex) almost a year ago now and from all the research that I've done, it's fairly apparent that there is no way I would get PR whilst on medication that costs $15k a year (I guess, no surprises there). As a result I'm going to be going off the Infliximab first chance I can get to see my specialist; there are other, less expensive ways of controlling this condition. Of course, with a temporary visa like a 457, Medicaid wouldn't be paying for your meds, but that would mean that you would have to pay for them (not sure if you could get insurance that would agree to pay from the get-go - I doubt it).
