it's back

RE tapering off Prednisone: you could also cut 5 mg tablet in half-- to go off at 2.5 mg. That helped me to get off Pred then onto a mesalamine oral med for maintenance of remission. Probably your route off Pred will go to Avsola scheduling. It sounds good that your new doctor asks you to keep in touch about your flare symptoms. Mainly with UC we have to develop patience with our guts because it can take many months of medication + careful diet to finally heal up from a severe flare. Then the question becomes what to do to stay in remission, which your doctor will need to figure out. It's important to keep up a continuing connection with the doctor who gets you through a flare. / Old Hat (40+ yrs with left-sided UC; in remission taking Colazal)
