About 6 weeks ago now I switched doctors and then medication. I went from asacol which was doing nothing for me to Imuran. It is already starting to change my life. This is the best I've felt since diagnoses 2 years ago and almost all my bm's are formed! It still shocks me everytime I look because this hasn't been the case since about 3 years ago.
Yesterday I went for a colonoscopy of which the main reason was to dilate the end of my colon and the area where my small and large intestines join. All apparently went very well according to the doctor who did it but I will find out all the details when I meet with my doctor for the follow-up. Well I say all went well except for the fact that I'm extremely needlephobic and passed out when the nurse was trying to start my IV (I had 3!!) anyways besides that episode my whole appointment went very well. Also much to my suprise despite being sedated I was fully aware of everything going on when I woke up and only felt light headed and had stomach pains after.
Over yesterday and so far today I have some discomfort especially after eating and when standing up and some kind of blood chunks coming out. So I'm waiting a week to figure out if the dilation did what it was suppose to.
p.s. MissValentine if you end up reading this how did you colonoscopy go you had one on the same day if I remember right.
