I've been an ileostomy'er for 22 years, now 71 years old, and have just been diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis by a rheumatologist. Been suffering from Back, Hip, Knee, Kidney stone, Muscle ache, nausea pain for 14 years, and now Neck and Shoulder Pain. I also have been curious how fast oral medicines pass through the body of a person without a colon ( ileostomy patent )? I fear the new med that is being proscribed for me, after reading the warning of the side effects of HUMIRA.
