Free at last! Free at last! (from medicine)
June 4, 2010Recently I talked with my blood doctor, and we decided that for the time being I didn’t need to be on blood thinners anymore. This means that, for the first time in nearly three years, I am completely off medicine! There’s always the possibility that I will have to go back on the blood thinners in the future, but for the time being, it looks like I won’t have to worry about any medicine.
It helps that I had ulcerative colitis, as my IBD problems have basically disappeared since surgery. Some areas of concern for the future are:
- Blood clots
- Pouchitis
- Liver issues
For now, life is looking great, and I hope everybody gets good news like this at some point in their struggle with IBD.
Keep fighting,
