Hey everyone,
Long time no post but I so haven't been in the mood to talk about my disease. Then again, for the most part, my disease has been fairly inactive which is great! So inactive in fact that I've been off my 200mg a day imuran habit (totally four non-consecutive years) for almost 8 months so. However, the past month or so, I've been having nearly constant D and occasional blood and finally broke down and called the doctor (I know, I know, call the doctor). I went in today and we chatted for awhile, a little blood test here and a scoping tomorrow morning.
My pain has been more specific the past few years than the original two years after my diagnosis leading him to believe we might get lucky and be able to treat my occasional symptoms with hydrocortisone enemas rather than putting me back on the imuran.
I had no clue this was even an option in my life until this afternoon. Has anyone else used this type of enema before and found it to be helpful without any additional drug regime? I have no experience with them or really knowledge of them. I did a little searching on the forum and didn't find much so thought I'd ask. Any info would be helpful. Thanks!
