Back in remission thank god

It's a great feeling ain't it guys when you finally knock a stubborn flare into remission. That great feeling of waking up in the morning and going toilet normally, plus eating when the hell you want all day and evening without the worry about urgency. I go away to Asia next month on my holidays with my partner, so to be in remission for my holidays is fantastic. Touch wood I don't relapse and go back into flare anytime soon. Was a stubborn one this one, as the 30MG pred didn't initially budge it properly. It made the symptoms better, but the flare wasn't going and I was down to 15MG pred. Eventually had to dose up to 30MG again and within 2 days, I was pretty much in remission so it nipped it in the bud. Currently on 175MG Aza , the highest dose of Mesalazine and nightly Ememas just to keep me going. Hope everyone can achieve remission quickly.

So happy to hear! It's nice to see members rolling in with good news. Stay healthy! <3

Great news! I’m happy for you!!

Get off your high horse please. I think you are flying off the handle a little bit here. Who said anything about me being the measuring stick for anyone ? I'm currently in remission and feeling great, so want to share that positivity in a group that has to deal with this dreaded disease. Lots of posts about the obvious horrible aspects of this disease are apparent , so I would like to inject a bit of positivity so people can at least look at this as a way as knowing they've will get better.

"If you can do it, anyone can" says it is., and it's not encouraging. Think about it.... my perspective on it.

No arrogance in my stating that.

ya, kinda my thinking too -

" Since then I been off/on flaring every 4 months for the last 2 years. Flare no where near as bad , but still very frustrating. Just hoping I got it in me again to go remission long term again."

Glad to hear, if that was me, my doc would jack up the meds. And he did. You seem to be living on the edge tho. I guess most are ok like that but my doc likes to knock it down to near nothing and then stay there.

Had a scope last week and I'm nearly clean of colitis but have many polyps yet. He surprised me with adding VSL3 to my med list after talking about med alternatives. I'm just thrilled that he hates steroids.

HJquinn, happy for you to horrible feeling when it come down back, but such a fantastic feeling when you have finally tackled a flare. I'm currently just 1 solid stool a day now and eating what the hell I want plus. Going to the gym and actually seeing benefits from it again.
