    Thanks everyone! And xJillx I'm not really sure how I'm doing. Lol. I felt great on the pred. Now that I'm off it and just doing the remicade my stomach does hurt a little more. But I'm still gaining weight so I figure I can deal. As long as they don't want to put me in the hospital I'm happy!

And when thet were trying to figure out what I had they all thought I had an eating disorder. It...
