First of all, I want to thank everyone for all your posts. This forum has been more then helpful to me
I'm going in for surgery on the 25th of this month. I still feel I don't know enough about what's going on inside my body, but apparently I now have fistulas and abscesses. (oh and I was diagnosed with crohns in spet 2011)
The only meds I've been on was prednasone and antibiotics for the abscesses. My GI recommends that after the surgey I start Imuran or humera. I'm incredible afraid of being on medication for the rest of my life, but then again I'd rather not have to deal with extreme flare ups anytime soon as well.
Is there anyone one here that had a resection surgery and DIDN'T take meds afterwards? And how long has it been since a flare? Any remission success stories you'd like to share? Actually any reception stories will be helpful.
Thanks!
