Finally in remission!!

After two years of flaring, I have a confirmed remission. But if I miss one injection, it comes right back (I delayed it last week due to a cold/laryngitis). Anyway, since I was still having horrible abdominal pain, I had an exploratory laparoscopy 2 weeks ago. Endometriosis has spread everywhere (I was diagnosed 7 years ago). So in 15 days, I'm having a total hysterectomy. :voodoo: Hoping the Crohn's stays in remission!

Currently on:
Remicade 10mg/kg every 6 weeks
Methotrexate 25mg/ml weekly
Lialda 4/day
Questran 1 scoop/day
Immodium 2/day

I still go 4-5 times a day, but my scope was perfect, other than a little scar tissue.

Oh, and I have to do bowel prep on Christmas day for my hysterectomy! Like once this year wasn't enough!

Congratulations on the good results from your scope! You definitely deserve to hear that good news, hopefully it lasts longer than your last remission!
Good luck with your hysterectomy - let that be the last of your issues.

Oh, it's not the last. I also have two tears in the ligament around my hip (labrum) that need to be surgically repaired as soon as I'm healed from this surgery. Maybe after that, I can live a somewhat normal life, not one filled with doctor visits, surgeries, physical therapy, etc. I think I average around 5 appointments per week. It's insane.

Let's put it this way then - hope your on the road to a recovery/remission in everything this holiday season

So happy to hear you've reached remission! I hope it's a lasting one

I am glad to hear that at least the tum is giving you a break at the moment, wishing you all the best with the upcoming op hun and please keep us updated on how you are doing.

Congratulations - I hope your remission lasts! Sorry to hear about the bowel prep on Christmas, hope it's not too bad :hug:

Wishing you all the best and I hope you are going to be in remission for a long time.

Thats really good your in remission , its just a shame you have to go through all the rest of the surgery too . I hope you recover well and that the new year brings you lasting health and happiness.
