Lialda Bump Helps
In my last post I talked about bumping my dose of Lialda from 3 to 4 and how I didn't feel any different. Well, I didn't give it enough time. It did help after about a month or 2. Like anything thing else, sometimes the key to feeling well is to also make sure I watch the trigger foods especially when I feel a flare coming on. For me that would be anything with Hershey's syrup in it, or instant cocoa. Starbucks Bold drip coffees seems to be a trigger for me too. It also doesn't help that they upset my stomach and that may be part of it. Next week I have an infusion and then 4 days later fly to the Grand Canyon for a week. Just in time for Vacation! No hiking to the bottom of the Canyon for me. Hiking always seems to move things along at the wrong time. This is also why being a Cub Scout Den leader for the last 4 years has been hard.
