Congratulations Sassy! So exciting! I should start by saying that I don't have children yet but my husband and I are working on it. Before we made that decision I spent a lot of time researching my...
I was on Pentasa for eight years with very minor flare ups. Then one day, bam! It just stopped working. No rhyme or reason for it. Unfortunately, this DD can decide to rear its ugly head whenever it...
