I seen the PA today. I hadn't been there in awhile and it was my first time seeing her. I get to see my Doc/GI in June...I told her of how well the past 2 years have gone, which has been mild flares and only a couple. I just got done with a flare that was kinda ugly, but I have had worse. It lasted a month and I was in the toilet 15 times a day. I don't know about passing blood, I am red/green colorblind...:-( She said she wants me to up my Asacol to 12 per day. I am currently on 3pills X3 perday. It seems to me that a gradual increase would be more the norm?... She wants to see if this gets me some relief from the recent flare, and if not then we may go with pred...I am glad she didn't suggest pred today, I would have told her no...I am doing much better than she realizes...anyway, just wanted to update everyone as to my latest GI visit. I have been frequenting here for a few years but not real regularly. I want to try to be more regular here so ...there, take it for what it's worth. Blessings and good health to all!!
