	Assuming your insurer agreed you could go into Mt. Sinai Hospital for IV Cyclosporine, hope you're feeling better & can report back to us soon. / Old Hat (nearly 30 yrs with left-sided UC ... [etc.]) Back to Top

	Thanks everyone for thinking of me. I just got back from the hospital this afternoon, I was at Mount Sinai for 12 days on IV Cyclosporine. I am exhausted I will write more either this weekend or early next week. I need to catch up on my life, work and most importantly my rest but promise to write more next week; it was a very interesting hospital stay. I am going to bed right now. --Keith DX'd with Pan-Colitis June 2005 Current Status: Flaring since May Current Meds: 6-mp & Colocort Supplements: None Back to Top

	p.s. I am basically in remission as of yesterday. I even drank a large ice coffee and ate 2 large fruit cups just to test out my colon.... I am happy to report that my colon passed the test without incident. --Keith DX'd with Pan-Colitis June 2005 Current Status: Flaring since May Current Meds: 6-mp & Colocort Supplements: None Back to Top
