I feel like a bit of a hypocite - when diagnosed (2005) was out here all the time struggling for advice. Took a lot of the advice that was posted at the time, started 6MP, a GNC probiotic and Lily of the Desert Aloe Gel, went into remission and neglected to ever come back. Now I'm having my fire flare since I started the drug. Lots of blood this time though. Started back up on my aloe since that helped me with the pain before. Little success though it achieving remission again, it's been 5 months. Does the effects of 6MP wear off? I've never had issues with my WBC count since I've been on the drug - I go in every 2 months. I suppose I could up the 6MP but want to hear some opinions on whether the drug loses it's effectivness over time. Of course I would not do that without consulting with my doc. Believe me I counted my blessings everyday I was in remission - I felt very lucky and certainly never took it for granted.
