Hi everyone!
I'm a 37 yr old woman who was diagnosed in 2008 with Ulcerative Colitis.
Started me on Lialda and Asacol. I was off and on the meds since my symptoms were mild. I only had a few flare ups.
I had a follow up colonoscopy this past December which showed major inflammation. Doc put me back on Lialda and then I switched to Asacol. In March my ankle joints and achilles tendons swelled so bad for two months! Got a new GI and she put me on entocort and 6MP. I just got out of the hospital (3 days ago) due to pancreatitits that I feel was a result of the 6MP. ALso, said it looks as if I now have Crohn's. (My mom battled Crohns for many years and is in full remission) I was sent home on antibiotics, prednisone and Lialda. My crossroads now..and my question to some of you...
6MP again? or Humira? or does anyone know if I change my diet and stay on Lialda could I go back?
Hope to get some good feedback!
