brokenfone23 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Chris, 34-year-old living in Queens, first realized that something was wrong with his stomach when he was 17. Due to Chris’ consistent lower abdominal pain, his doctor originally thought that he had an ulcer, but after a colonoscopy, it was determined that Chris had Crohn’s disease. Since then, he has had four surgeries to treat fistulas and other Crohn’s disease-related conditions. He says that he has been on too many medications to remember all of their names, but that taking Remicade has significantly improved his ability to overcome the symptoms that have plagued him for almost two decades. “When they first diagnosed me, I didn’t take it seriously, I didn’t listen,” Chris says. “They told me to take Asacol and Prednisone. I stayed on that for maybe a month because the medication didn’t really make me feel better. Nothing worked for me until Remicade.” “I needed an operation for a fistula, which was a hole in my bladder, in 1997. My intestines were pretty infected. I had the operation, but then in 2001, the fistula came back and I need to be operated on again. At that point, I just didn’t care anymore. I didn’t take any of the medication; I kind of gave up on life. Then in 2006, I was back in the hospital because I’d had another attack. I weighed maybe a hundred and thirty pounds. I thought to myself, ‘I’ve got to accept the disease already and just move forward, step by step.’” Since he began taking Remicade last May, Chris has felt a tremendous increase in his energy levels and overall health. The first treatment made specifically for Crohn’s disease, Remicade relieves symptoms by binding and blocking the effects of TNF-alpha, a protein involved in the inflammation process. It is prescribed to patients only after they have tried other therapies and it is clear that other drugs have failed to treat their symptoms. Chris says that his previous doctors considered Remicade to be a “last resort” treatment option for him and he believes that if the IV treatment had been made available to him earlier on, he may not have had to undergo so many surgery procedures. He receives a dose of Remicade every two months and also takes a drug called Azathioprine. Chris was recently able to go on a trip to Japan, something that he would not have been able to do without getting seriously ill prior to being on Remicade. He credits the treatment with allowing him to lead a very active, energetic lifestyle. “I’ve been rockin’ and rollin’ on this drug. Remicade was the thing that made me believe that everything was going to be alright. All the bad things I’ve been through, this drug finally made it possible for me to enjoy life and live it to my fullest.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt .45 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 we have all his flicks and shoe collection on lock. we will be having a big show in the next few weeks to display some of it. theres too much to show everything (at least 50 full albums and dozens of shoeboxes full of flicks plus dozens of jordans, dunks and uptowns) but we'll show as much of it as we can. then we are planning to publish a two or three volume book with all of his work over the years in chronological order with pictures of him with friends and family corresponding to the times he took the photos. we are open to publishers so if anyone has any ideas of who would want to publish thousands of photos of new york graffiti over the last 30 years, let us know. all proceeds will be donated to the Chron's and Cholitis Foundation of America in his name, after we take care of his parents. if we make enough money off it, we'll found a chair for him at a major research university that does research on chron's disease. if anyone has any flicks of him or his graffiti, please let someone who was close to him know so we can include them in the book if not the show. and if anyone does shit for him, please post it on here high res and/or pass it on to someone who was close to him so we can include all the memorial work done for him as well. the good die young, but legends live forever.
