Prep sucks

[chrisnsteph1022]

I don't know which is worse-starving myself all day or downing the prep. I can handle the diarrhea-I'm used to that. At least I didn't have to drink a gallon of crap. I did the Suprep prep. I started last night. I'm doing my second dose in 10 minutes. Scope is in 5 hours. Afterwards, I'm going out for cheese fries and a steak. LOL

Oh my word, I am exactly the same when it comes down to prep. Drinking the stuff really breaks me down mentally. I actually came out from seeing the surgeon happy as he told me I didn't need to take any prep for my op. What a relief.

I hope it all goes well for you. Think happy thoughts!

Good luck with everything! I get to go to the supermarket this weekend to buy my prep! 1 week to go before my annual scope...oh joy.

Well, the scope showed the Crohn's is back (or never went away from my scope in January). So we're dropping the Cimzia and switching to Remicade, OR adding Imuran to the Cimzia. I'm leaning towards Remicade.

Have you taken Remicade before? If so I'd be interested to see how going back on it works for you, as I've used it it in the past and am now on Humira which isn't working any more (if it ever was in the first place), so will probably broach the subject of using Remi again but I fear it won't work a second time around. Whatever choice you make, I hope it works wonders for you

I am sorry to hear your Crohn's is active, Steph. I sure hope that with whatever treatment plan you go with, it does the trick. Good luck!

No, I went straight to Cimzia. Never tried Remi or Humira.
