I did the steroids a few years ago but my new gastroenterologist is not a fan of steroids so he put me on 6-mercaptopurine. Since I did not have a flare up for almost 3 years, we stopped the dose but now I feel a flare up coming on and 6-MP takes about 3 months to start kicking in.
What is the best medication to stop the UC and make it go back into remission.
If I go to the Dr, he will just immediately order a colonoscopy. So before I do that, I want to hear what some of you think.
Steroids are horrible. They make your face get huge, they make you hungry, and they make you fat. Also I guess they do something to your bones.
I want to avoid steroids at all costs.
