Hey everyone,
I just wanted to post a brief update.
Its been a fun few months! Moments of utter despair, desparation, frustration and anger. I wanted to relish the fact that I FEEL OK this week. Its been almost 10 days since I've had any notable pain. The BM's are down to 2-3 times a day, very little blood, and overall my symptoms have reduced.
I'm back up to 3200mg of Asacol a day and down to 30mg of Prednisone. The side effects are there for sure. Small potatoes compared to symptoms of UC.
I do feel a little anxious about the continuing taper of the Pred, as I know symptoms can come back after a certain point or even when the course is over. But I'm trying to focus on feeling good!
Biggest highlights include: FOOD!!
I'm sending my support to everyone! Stay positive!
