Been on Mercaptopurine and tapering off Prednisone for about
3.5 weeks and my colitis symptoms (most recently being mucus, blood, sudden urge to shat one's drawers and bloating/gas) are gone! However, the steroids are making my (diabetes) blood sugar VERY high and unhealthy, causing other problems including migraine headaches. darn, if one thing don't mess you up something else will. What can you do, eh? Now, hopefully the colitis won't flare again as the Prednisone taper continues. Hopefully the 6mp can work for a long time without my developing some awful side effect like cancer. We shall see...
