Thanks for thinking of me countess! I’m doing ok. The last flex sig I had before I got too pregnant was right before Christmas. It showed the stubborn area had gone from a 2 inch ring of moderate...
Countess that’s such great news!! Congrats. Btw I saw the gi you see and really like him. He’s my specialist at penn now. So thank you!! I agree with parts of everyone’s suggestions lol. If it were...
Awesome to hear! Get some rest!!...
So happy for you 3time! Been following you through the last couple months. So happy your scheduled and almost on the other side of UC. I wish you nothing but a smooth surgery and healthy 2018. Keep...
Hopefully this makes you feel better. I’ve had uc for over 5 years. My liver enzymes fluctuate on occasion. I’m currently on 6 mp and remicade and get bloodwork every 3 months. Depending on...

Hey countess. Yes my second opinion gi is Caroline kerner at penn. I’ve met with her once this summer and see her again next month. I meant to email you her name a couple weeks ago...so sorry I’m a...
I’m on remicade. I’ve been on it almost 3 years. Remicade in conjunction with 6 mp was a game changer for me. I still have bumps that I’m working thru (my uc is bizarre lol). But since starting the...
I agree with DB that it sounds like you still have c diff. What antibiotic did you use when they diagnosed it? I also agree with her view on starting remicade. Nothing is ever written in stone but...
Hey John. I’m currently on 50 mg 6 mp. Been on it since last summer. My gi doesn’t think upping the dose will do much. I’m on the max for my weight but also when i was first diagnosed i tried 75 mg...
