3 months ago I started my medication for my Crohns Disease, Cimzia. I went to my three month check up this week and the doctor had some pretty great things to say!!
First of all, my labs are normal people, normal!! They have been such a mess lately and I wondered how long it would take for things to turn around. My medicine has had a great effect already. Overall I feel an increased general sense of well being, something I haven't felt in a long time. I also feel more energized and able to do more than just go to work each day.
Second, I was asked to participate in a national study for my medicine, which I think is pretty cool. I had to fill out all sorts of paper work and answer a billion questions. Then the doctor had to do his part and one of the questions was marking what stage my disease is in. The choices were mild, mild-moderate, severe, and remission. I was expecting mild-moderate, however he marked REMISSION!! He was so impressed with my progress over the last three months and I can't believe I have progressed so quickly!
I feel so overwhelmed with blessings and gratitude! Last year was really hard in many ways and I often wondered if I was ever going to feel "better" again. I had several priesthood blessings and pleaded with my Heavenly Father for relief. Many prayers were answered today and I feel so happy! There are still hard days to come, but I know that if I can get through this I can get through anything.
