I've been contemplating getting surgery for a few months now but I for sure want to get healthy before (if possible) just to lessen risks and all that. I got my Humira loading doses today and it was...
Hey John. The prednisone seems like it has slowed down the Bm's a bit and also the tensemus some as well but nothing drastic. The remicade was stopped after I got out of the hospital about 3 years...
So it's that time again... started flaring in April after 2.5 years of remission bliss. The only med I was taking was imuran 150mg which kept me in sweet sweet remission. A SEVERE flare up back in...
Well they discharged me per my GI and my primary doctor. They tested my bloods every morning I was there and said that all my levels were solid. They were giving me 120mg the first day then 100mg the...

Thanks again for the replies. Im going to try to eat as bland as possible from now on until I get this crap (or lack thereof) under control. I was wondering why my GI would say not to take the...
Thanks for the replies. My GI did not request c-diff tests or anything else. As for meds, I'm taking 40mg prednisone and that's it. I have lialda which I was taking 4 pills daily but I asked my doc...
I'm new here and was diagnosed with pancolitis 2 years ago in October. It was mild back then and prednisone knocked it all out the first day I took them. I've been going through a flare for about a...
