I'm in remission

[Shirl]

Earlier this year I was informed I would need surgery. I was sent for a colonoscopy and MRI so the surgeon could determine how much needed to be removed. But these tests showed the disease is inactive . I am still in shock!!! But soooo relieved too. I am still severely constipated, but I'm sure that will sort itself out now the inflamation has reduced.

I can't thank my husband enough for his support, I don't know how I would have coped without him, he has been so amazing :heart:

Excellent, good to here a success story. What medications have worked for you?

I've been taking azathioprine and pentasa, I was on humira for a couple of months but they stopped the humira cos I was still in a lot of pain ( they now think the pain is due to the severe constipation).

I also started drinking decaf coffee and redbush tea, dunno if that helped x
