I just had another experience like this today as well. I was diagnosed back in 2006 - I have had several doctors question my DX because of clear and clean tests. I just had a clean colonoscopy, clean...
I agree. I have been on Steroids for a couple of years now consistently as well as the Humira for the past 16 months....the last 2 months of which have been every week instead of every other week. I...
