One Badass Dude
Saw the GP on Friday. Still experiencing a great deal of discomfort, so he upped my Asacol to 12 400mg capsules a day along with the Prevacid. I feel a bit disoriented every time I have to increase my Asacol, although I quickly adjust.
Still turning down the Prednisone -- don't want to go there.
I also have a prescription for Champix, which I think I'll start in the new year. I think it'll help with the Crohn's symptoms, although the real impetus is to quit smoking.
Wicked bad chronic diarrhea still, and this is with me being careful with my diet. Frustrating.
No further progress with seeing a Gastroenterologist. Supposedly sometime late spring/early summer. A buddy of mine with Ulcerative Colitis faces a 14 month wait to see the same doctor. It's nuts.
