I made a resolution to try to post good things along with the bad... and today I actually have good news to report!
I think (knocking on all wood in a 2 mile radius) that the Cimzia is working! My bowel movements have become less frequent and more formed, and that alone is worth a million bucks! I discovered today that my remaining symptoms fall under the heading of "rebound constipation" (severe gas pain, bloating, and rock hard distended tummy), but I can live with that! Part of that also may be the introduction of a fiber supplement, so I truly believe that even THIS round of symptoms has an expiration date. And I'm successfully weaned down to only 2.5mg of the Evil Prednisone. YAY!
If only I could get myself to stop STARING at my vitamins and supplements and start taking them like a "good girl". Like I read somewhere else -
"I have pill fatigue!". Suck it up though, right?
After a long, dark year and a half - I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! (insert crude joke about bowels/tunnels here)
