Time for a medication change!!

There's a time that comes in the life of everyone who had an IBD..where you need new drugs. You don't want it, you fight it, but you know it's inevitable.

My time has come. My doctor says i'm becoming "steroid dependent." In other words, i need them. My body doesn't want to stay in remission without it. So i get two new drugs, Imuran and Lialda. and I get to continue Uceris for a bit. Ive never taken a immunosurpressant before. It scares the crap out of me. Well hopefully it will keep me from crapping...my doctor said we have to "Hit it hard" and then go down. Whatever you say, doc.

I just want to eat my chicken curry in peace!! And maybe a few other things. Even when I'm completely in remission, i'm still going to eat clean. It makes me feel amazing. But every once in awhile i want that crap food. I mean it's the holidays people!! Fudge!! Or maybe i an start running again...

I got to ten miles, and in the middle of a flare up and destroyed knees, I had to stop. I felt like a failure, but it was also a relief...

Maybe gain some weight? I'm down to 110. Yuck. Don't pull that whole "i wish i needed to gain weight.."crap on me. Skinny doesn't look good either. Shut your face.

Oh and i also have a weird itchy rash on my face and lips. it looks lovely. I just realized I'm going to be taking an immunosurpressant during flu season. "face palm"

So much for me never being sick. I haven't been sick in years...

Get away from me sicko!
