Hey everybody!
I was diagnosed with severe active UC mid-May this year and went directly into remission using Asacol HD and Prednisone. I use the word "remission" lightly, because the crappy feelings never went away. I can literally feel every ulcer from rectum to cecum - and yes, my entire colon is laced with ulcers.
Now, done with the Pred, I am taking Asacol HD along with Remicade. I just had my 2nd infusion last Friday (on the 0, 2, 6, Q8 schedule). Today, 2 days later, my stool is loosening and becoming more frequent (from 1 BM/day to 5 so far today, each with urgency.) Maybe I'm getting sick again?
For 7 months before my remission, I was using the jon 10 - 20 times a day. I'm sure everyone here is familiar with that excitement...
Anyone have advice or thoughts to share with this newbie?
