Just thought I'd pop in and say something in case anyone may have noticed I hadn't recently. It turns out my original doses were totally useless to me as I was apparently far sicker then I and my doctor though initially. As a result , I was admitted to the hospital and kept for 15 days..nearly had to have an emergency colectomy and then found out that I have Crohn's and not UC...woo :). So I guess I'm in the wrong forum anyway , technically , hehe. Anyway currently I'm doing alot better ..basically on a normal BM schedule and just now beginning to taper the meds a bit. I've been out for 1 week at this point and that's pretty much the quick version. Just thought I'd say hey
