Hello, I don't post to this forum often but I have posted in the past - I've been on several different types of medication that have not really worked (including 6MP and Remicade - although...
I feel for you - lettuce, tomato and onions all seem to really hurt me - I've had similar experiences where it's come out like 30 minutes later... oh how I've longed to eat a salad, broccoli and...
I just wanted to write back - after increasing my dose of Mercaptopurine to 125g (and tapering off of prednisione) - I think (hope) I am going into remission, bms aren't exactly back to normal (or...
