After getting out of the hospital due to my flare, my doc convinced me to finally try Rowasa. First night wasn't bad but didn't notice any results. Tried it 3 more times, couldn't hald them for very long, and then woke up in the middle of the night with diarehea that wouldn't end.
I"ve been using Canasa now twice a day. Once in the evening and then again in the morning. I do wake up with blood and mucus and it takes about 2 hours for my colon to empty enough for the Canasa but once I get it up there I'm usually good for the rest of the day. Still feel some burning during the day.
So, with Humira (loading phase) 30mg of Pred (tapering by 10 per week), and Canasa how long do you think my flare will last? I'm 37 and have gone 18 months without a flare using Remicade which stopped working (had the prometheus test done and antibodies were up).
