Hi All! I am new to Crohn's Forum. About 19 years ago I was diagnosed with Crohn's a year after I gave birth to our first child. Like most everyone the actual symptoms had been around 5 years before I got diagnosed. Doc told me not to have any more kids so of course we had another child about 4 years later! That's when the trouble really started! I ended up in the hospital when my youngest was 18 months for two months with fistulizing Crohn's. After a resection and 3 months with an illeostomy, I was put back together and have been in remission for 13 years now. Praise God! About a month ago I had a routine colonscopy and the doc thought he saw some ulcers but the pathology results weren't conclusive. So today I had a pill cam. I may have to start taking Immuran if the results are gnarly. My motto; live every day to it's fullest because tomorrow I may be stuck in the can! LOL :ylol2:

Hi and welcome! I am glad you had 13 years of remission, but I am sorry your doctor recently found active disease. I hope maybe he was mistaken and your pill cam comes back clear! But if it doesn't, it sounds like you have a good plan in place.

Please keep us posted and let us know of your results!

Welcome to the forum, I'm glad you found you way here. I pray that the results of your pill can are good! We do have an Imuran specific forum under treatment in case you want to do some research or ask any questions there.

Again, a most hearty welcome to you
