	That 80mgs did do the job. My appointment went really well on Friday and the docs in the hospital don't want to see me for 6 months. They reckon that the Pred did do me good and i am to try and taper off it over next ten weeks. I do feel really good at the minute and my frequency and urgency is improving. No blood in over 2 weeks, so i'm hoping i'm heading for remission.He done a few more bloods to check my liver and thyroid, but i'm confident all will be good.:) I've also started walking around 5 miles a day,( i was doing around 2 miles) and i started a bit of weight training on Saturday.I'm hoping that with increased exercise my overall health will continue to improve. I certainly feel better than i have in a long long time. keep the faith Marty keep the faith Pred50mgs/asacol/proctifoam/omoparazole 40mgs[/color]</b> http://www.myspace.com/martybuzz1<FONT] Post Edited (fatboyslim) : 8/27/2007 3:17:45 PM (GMT-6) Back to Top
