I was diagnosed about a year ago, but I think I've had it 20 to 30 years - maybe longer (I'm 60). There have been some stretches of remission but recently it got quite bad.

I started treatment with prednisone and Lialda. I weaned off the prednisone but the Lialda alone wasn't enough to control my digestive symptoms. So I added imuron. Now I'm very stable, but the achiness still comes and goes. Pretty bad at times.

There was some talk about starting Humira, but I'd rather have less meds and took the more conservative route.
