I have been MIA all over the internet for the past several months or more. I had been on a depression medication, Celexa, which was giving me nightmares (ones I didn’t much enjoy), trouble sleeping and so, rather than speaking to my family doctor about it and getting something different, I just quit taking it.

Last Friday, I started Remicade in hopes of it working to keep my crohn’s disease under control. I am also continuing to take my azathioprine (imuran) daily.
