Well, I finally received my CT scan results today from my GI nurse. She said I only had MILD inflammation with no sign of any fistulas or abscesses!
Woohoo!
Not exactly the remission I was hoping for, but I will definitely take a mild case of Crohn's over moderate-severe. I forgot to ask about the narrowing that was there when I had the fistulas, but I'm sure mild inflammation means ther's still some narrowing, but it must be better than pea-sized.
So, yay! The next time I see my GI is in April. He didn't say anything about going back to every other week shots. But, i asked my GI nurse to double check. He may want me to stay on the weekly shots or something for a little longer since I still have mild inflammation, but we'll see.
I'm pretty happy though. Just had to share with everyone the GREAT news!

Hopefully full remission will come soon too (wasn't the "R" word mentioned when you had a scope recently?). I'm hoping for remission myself so here's hoping we both get to the "R" word!
