Progress... Then set back. Struggling

Hi everyone, over the past month or so everything was progressing so we'll. I have been on azathioprine for nearly four months now and I thought it was finally kicking in as I was slowly tapering off of Prednisone. I got down the final days of being on 5mg and everything just took a turn for the worst. Trips to the bathroom are up, blood is present, and the formed stools that I was getting used to have gone away.

The month leading up to the resurgence of these symptoms was amazing. My only issue was morning urgency. I was having formed stools, not having to wake up in the middle of the night to go, and after I was done going in the morning, I was fine for the day.

Is it safe to say that I was still dependent on the Prednisone? I'm meeting with the gi in a couple of days to discuss options. Weather it be increase again on the azathioprine up to at least 200 mg, or to consider other options like entyvio. I am really down that these symptoms showed up again. I let myself start to believe that life might be normal again... Think again.

Also, not sure what my current signature is but anucort supps, azathioprine, back on Prednisone, and humira.

I had the test regarding azathioprine levels not too long ago, and I came in user the therapeutic levels so we increased. Waiting again for new levels to see if increase has gotten to where it needs to be. I thought even though I wasn't at the correct dose, I was still feeling pretty good. I have not tried remicade yet, I went with humira first die to availability. Would you personally recommend remicade over entyvio even tho humira didn't necessarily take?

You're thinking the rowasa/mesalamine enemas would be better than the steroid supps I am taking? Also, way back upon first diagnosis I tried asacol then switched to balsalazide capsules. That was my maintenance until things started to get worst last may/June. Think another oral mesalamine would be work with the aza?

Oh wow. I didn't think you could mix all of those together... Will discuss at next appointment. How long did it take for everything to kick on for you personally?

Good to know.
Well, quick update. Just got my aza levels back and they are lower than what they were previously even though I have increased my dosage since the last test.
