somedude: i'm a she!
and no did not try LDN although i was in communication with crystal and was researching what drs in my area would prescribe (none) and asked my GI, who was hesitant until more studies etc. I was thinking of buying the LDN from the site you dont need a script......
i did not try fecal transplant although i was in the process of thinking of ways to trick my 12 yo into donating some bm, lol, but put that on the list of would try last before surgery, lol
and did not try triple antibiotic therapy but asked my gi about it and she did not think it would help.
but yeah, i think i tried everything else!
as far as imuran kicking in:
on 6/6 I started out on 40 mg of pred (as a bridge to help imuran work) and 50 mg imuran.
i was to do a quick 4-5 week taper of the pred.
2 days into this regimine i had no bleeding and no urgency
On about 7/15, finished the pred, 3 days later saw a bit of blood, my gi upped my imuran to 100 mg and i have been fine since.
i just want to add that from 6/21 to 6/26 i had a gallbladder attack and was hospitalized.
on tues 8/7 had my gallbladder out, and though all this my uc is staying in remissiion, ****crosses fingers and prays to the uc god******
