Hi Team
Haven't been here for several months, been very busy, not to mention being diagnosed with Epilepsy and my wife having two brain surgeries :0)
However, just saw my GE Specialist last week to discuss the results of the Pill Cam three months ago. Camera showed portions of ulcers in the small intestine, so will be going back in another 6 weeks for biopsies. In the meantime I am weaning off Prednisone of which I've been on for the last year and a half, and have started on Pentasa, which I seem to be tolerating ok and hopefully it will keep me in remission.
Life is looking hopeful for me, after having been in a chronic flare for the last 20 years following open surgery Nissen Fundoplication.
Having the Pill Cam made all the difference with working towards a diagnosis of IBD.
Rog :0)
