How is everyone doing after the holidays?
Hi everyone! I wanted to check in and see how you all are doing after all the eating and stress of the holiday season.
I was happy to see that my body cooperated with me as long as I tried not to eat too much sugar and got sleep! Since I don't drink alcohol, that wasn't a problem for me. However, I am also on rectal steroids right now, so I am not sure what things will be like once I taper off in 2 weeks. Hopefully okay, since I've moved to Remicade every 6 weeks instead of 8!
How about the rest of you?
Glad you had a great holiday. Mine was good as well. I don't drink alcohol either so that was not a problem. I'm usually pretty good at keeping the sweet stuff to a minimum...usually lol. I know I overdid it a couple of times because my ostomy told me so. My Crohns has been in check though and just had a calprotectin result of 5... yay! I don't think it has ever been that low in over 30 years.
I hope tapering off the steroids doesn't cause you issues. I was on Remicade every 8 weeks and was also changed to 6 weeks as I tapered off steroids. Haven't had to have prednisone since 2012. On Humira biosimilar now.
Here's to a healthy 2023!
