congrats lucas....if you're still on pred, you have to go through the tapering phase.

Hope it continues.

~UC meds: Asacol (3 @ 2x daily); Salofalk enemas nightly for flares & taper to maintenance

~Bentylol (dicyclomine) 20mg as needed; Ranitidine (reflux); Effexor XR 75mg(depression); Pulmicort/Airomir (asthma)

My doc's logic.. "TREAT (FROM)BOTH ENDS" worth it !!!
