Yeah, you definitely need the surgery for sure! I would recommend twice a day with Mesalamine enemas until you can get surgery. Please try to get the surgery this year if you can, I would hate for you to get worse. IBD is not good being untreated and left like that, it can eventually lead to colon perforation.

I don't know if I can even do one enema right now. I feel really inflamed down there and am in pain. My GI keeps telling me to just keep tapering the pred though so he can scope me next week... So I guess this upcoming week should be fun. Lol. Thanks for your responses though!
