In remission on 6mp

I was diagnosed with crohns in 1983 in the days of 60 mg of cortisone (lots of housecleaning) and sulfasalazine (stopping by the side of the road to throw up). Had a few flares but eventually have been in remission since about 1995 on 6 mp. Recently have had unusual inflammation in my stomach and esophagus so my GI is nervous. I'm only nervous about lymphoma. Recently my 6mp level went too low and my dosage of 25 was doubled, immediately turning a cold which I get all of that goes by anyway into 2 months of walking pneumonia. So back at 25.
