Hi planning to move to Oria but my wife is having doubts due to medical worries about her treatment, which she needs every 8 weeks anyone know of anybody that has Crohn's disease that's having treatment that can help to reassure or explain how they do this in Spain I'm pretty sure that they do infusion's in Spain

Thanks

I suffer from Crohn's which is controlled by mezalazine (asacol).  When I first entered the health system I had to pay for my meds as the amount (400g) was not available on the system.  I have since changed to the same medicine in 800g pill form, which I can tolerate and is available on the health system.  Luckily, my Crohn's is well controlled and managed but not sure how you will manage if you have regular flare ups.

Thanks My wife is having regular infusion's every 8 weeks so not sure if that's available in Spain or if we have to pay for it going private is not an option due to the medical condition
