last december my GI took me off Azathioprine because i was doing so great with the remicade and boom started another flare. they put me back on aza and prednisone starting at 40mg. im down to 10mg and no blood, no D, no cramping, no urgency. last time i had a flare i started seeing symptoms again after i got down to 15mg of pred. crossing my finger that this flare is done!!!

Can you describe what this remission you speak of feels like? Please, spare no details.

Good for you!
