Hoping this progress continues but I feel like maybe I am now in remission. Is that even possibly when just three weeks ago I felt absolutely terrible?
yes, without a doubt. I feel like I see this type of turn around more often than not. once in a while there is a person who takes time to improve but usually it happens fast with remicade.over the summer there was about
a two month period where I thought I was possibly in remission. I had just got off prednisone without a returning flare and was on imuran and asacol. However, I feel different/better now than I did then. Over that two month period I still had bad body aches and woke up almost every day with terrible lower back pain. I was also going multiple times a day but they were mostly solid. Then I woke up one day in early September, had loose stool and wondered if it was the beginning of a flare and sure enough it was, and it became a pretty bad one when my doc opted for remicade after a flex sig in mid September. He had said that even though most of my symptoms had simmered, the colitis never went away.
Now I'm still hesitant cause every morning I kind of wake up thinking what if this is the day a flare will begin again....does that feeling ever go away? My body feels good every day but I'm still a little uneasy until after my first bathroom trip of the day.
