Thank you for your replys. I took Prednison for my CD and Asacol. It has been under control for two years now. And that is a great feeling!

I go in next month to my pain doctors. The spine clinic did say I need to get a rheumatologist. I do not even know where the closest one is where I live. I live in the middle of the boonies, big time, LOL.

I am sorry for all your problems too. I am new to RA world, so any advise would be very good.

Does it just stay in one area of my body? Does it, or can it go into remissoin? Like CD can.

Reading websites on it, is good for basic information. But it cannot replace getting information from people who have it and lived with it for years. Sorry for all the questions. I still cannot believe it all.

I look forward to getting to know you all. And I do thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all your help.

Love,
Megs.
