Colonoscopy today was too good

Question:

Paul – I’m very glad for you that your colon is now in such good condition. Now if only you could feel better!  I’m so sorry you were turned down for the trial though; I was really hoping you would be able to participate. I was getting depomedrol injections from my rheumatologist that really helped my arthritis.  Well, actually it’s the extraintestinal arthralgia or whatever the correct term is for the arthritis-like symptoms we IBD’rs get. I really hope you can get some relief from it all soon! Christine CD 03/UC 01
