3-4 weeks after starting Prednisone and 2 weeks after starting Humira I'm starting to feel better. I'm still going to the bathroom way too frequently, but it's less garden hose style and actually has some substance. Which means my colon is healing and I'm starting to absorb nutrients again.
My bodyweight went from a low of 180 to hovering around 188-192. That's huge progress in my eyes. I'm having almost no GI pain as well which is a RELIEF. However, I still haven't slept longer than 2 hours in the last five weeks because of the frequent bathroom trips.
I was feeling good today so I ate a whole large pizza, an ice cream cone (two scoops, chocolate peanut butter on the bottom and oreo overload on the top), and then a large strawberry milkshake. This could be a terrible mistake or a huge victory. The next 24 hours will tell all.
