Hi everyone. I just wanted to share my good news with all of you. After my sigmoidoscopy today, my Dr. comfirmed that I am currently in remission!!! It's been a long 9 months with this flare. 6mp is now my new drug and thankfully it is helping. I hope I can enjoy this remission for a really long time and get back to focusing on school and living my life again. I want to thank all of you for your constant support and advise. I don't know how I would have done it without this forum. Praying for remission for all of you everyday.

That's wonderful!

However... I'm not so sure if the doctor can tell you whether you are in "remission" or not. That's entirely up to how you feel and dependent on the symptoms (or lack thereof) you demonstrate daily.

Congrats!!! How long love long have you been on 6mp? 2 months? I thought think i am right behind you! What is your final dosage!

Congratulations!!!

Thanks! Today is exactly three months. I'm on 50 mg 6mp.

Guardian7 I agree. We were discussing it. He said sometimes a lot of it can be psychological which I totally agree with. Also, I'm learning what foods make things better or worse.

Great! So happy for you!!! I hope to stay on 50. Are you glad you didnt raise the dosage? ;/)
Are you taking anything else?

Ya glad we left it. He told me he was not going to increase it until he did a blood test to see the levels it's at. Taking 4 lialda as well.

Thanks Seph! Such good news! Wishing you a very long remission, xoxo

Congrats!!! May you have a long long remission! My GI told me he has one patient who has been on Imuran (similar to 6MP) for 30 years with no problems!

That is incredible. I am so happy for you :)

Congrats! I just got on Uceris and 6mp two weeks ago and am crossing my fingers that it works for me as it has worked for you. Keep it up, and I hope you stay in remission permanently!

Awesome, cheers to a long remission and a chance to forget uc for a while.

Perhaps we should all vote on what newly found remission poster's should do, now that they're symptom-free that'd scare those of us who are currently with uc symptoms. Like, wake up early and drive to a restaurant to get a fancy breakfast, go shopping all day somewhere new without previously looking up restroom locations, or go on a roadtrip lol :-)

Just make sure you go out and enjoy remission for us all.
