Hi all. I just thought I'd let you know that I am in remission thanks to Imuran and a low-res diet. I find it a little depressing seeing all the frustration and hopelessness on the forum, so I figured it might help atleast someone to hear someone say something positive.
I am HEALTHY! AND FEEL SO GOOD!
I've gained 17 pounds in 3 weeks, after struggling with malabsorption for over a year. I'm now a healthy weight, and gaining. Soon as I'm up to 150, I'm going to begin working out, in hopes that I'll build up some bulk for my next flare up.
My butt hurts, because my imuran is impairing the healing of my seton, and my surgeon decided to cauterize the area a bit.... a lot... BUT, I'm well enough to take drugs for pain, which I couldn't do, because it constipated me... causing cramps. The same cramps that I'm not getting anymore!!
It's lovely. I've still got a ways to go before full remission, but I'm able to live again.
I suppose that kinds soundy braggy, and some of you are like "well GOOD for you. jerk." But I figured I could also make someone hopeful.
So to all you still struggling to live: I'm praying for you. I'm grateful for you all, for being supportive during tough times, and giving me people to look up to. Get well soon! :hug:
