remission meds?

[Badtummy4]

So I'm currently on prednisolone (I'm reducing the dose by 5mg every week) currently on 35mg a day and I'm being put on azaziphrine (can't spell) in a few weeks. I'm also on Pentsa. My question is can these meds put me into remission or not:sign0085:

I was on Pentasa for a short time and then switched to Lialda. You might need something stronger.

There are many people who have done well with these drugs and found remission, however it may take several months - as many as 6-9 months.

Hopefully the medications will put you into remission, but everyone is different. In my case, I was started with mild medications, and over time had to move up to stronger ones...but keep in mind I have had this now for over 30 years.....and so far have been able to avoid any surgeries! The key is to keep moving forward if something doesn't work, so you find something that does, AND to not stop taking meds just because you feel good.....
