up date on the imuran

hi all, i just want to keep u all posted.I think its safe to say that the imuran is working im doing 1 bm a day and formed, also i can more or less eat what i want and alcohol doesnt seem to bother me but i will not over do it, my signature is wrong im not sure how to change it lol, but im on 150mg of imuran my GI wants me up tp 200mg because it suits my weight, also 2.4mg of mezavant xl, im not so much taking enemas as my BMs are fine, im still taking my fibre supplements and VSL, tumeric,and a little fish oil, i know all can change in a day but for now im free as a bird,lol, thats the way i feel when i dont have ANY symptoms, as for the risk with imuran,well its gota b worth it for now, thanks u guys, im on here everyday as i feel guilty at times just cause im in remission,doesnt mean i can go away then come back when im bad. good luck all.

I am very happy for and thank you for keeping us informed about your remission.  Again I wish no of us were on Imuran, I wish none of us had colitis but it's nice to know we can be helped by this medication if need be.

Keep us informed.

Of course one can have blips or bumps along the journey of remission.  I would gauge one's success by the colonoscopies/biopsies.  I would also gauge oneself by the typical stuff, urgency, mucus, bleeding, etc...  I have had very small blips along the way but everthing reverts to normal rather quickly, i.e. days.  I blame that stuff on non uc stuff like eating bad food, virus, etc...  

Again, glad to hear of your success, keep in touch.
