I saw my GI.

[Lydia]

I saw him and it went very well. We are both optimistic that I am in remission. I am down to 5 mg pred on monday. He said that I can stop taking immuran in September so that I can try to get pregnant. He says I can stay on remicade during pregnancy but we can cross that bridge when we get there. I still feel really good. I can eat whatever I want and nothing bothers me. I dont have a single crohn's symptom and havent since about 4 or 5 days past my first remicade infusion. I am really glad that this seems to be working so far. I am so happy that I responded well to my treatment. I gotta start watching what I eat now or I will put on too much weight. Its so nice to have my life back. My family is much happier too. lol.

Lydia, Superb!
Thanks for sharing your good news!
Sure is nice to see it...........

 

[Lydia]

I figure even though I feel good I will stick around here, so people know its possible to someday feel good even though you have IBD. I think that most people in remission are out living their lives, which is why you dont see too many on the forums, but they really do exist. lol.

It's very true, Lydia! It is nice to know there are people who make it into remission!
