Yeah, my Dr is checking my blood every 2 weeksand has upped my dosage of 6mp. Thank you for the advise on the flu shot, my fiance is sick with a really bad cold right now and I am starting to feel sick myself. I hate Prednisone, my face is so swollen and I have acne all over, which I have never had even as a teenager... it is awful. That is really what is pushing me towards the Remi. I really appreciate your responses. You are the first person with Crohn's I have ever talked to. Makes me feel better, even in this depressive stupor I am stuck in right now!!
