I've been having 4's for the past month. I hope it keeps up when I start reducing the Entocort.
Maggie,
I feel for you. Six-eight times a day for 10 years takes a lot out of you. It's unfortunate that you're not able to take Entocort. Maybe Dr. Fasano's pill will be your answer. One can hope, anyway.

You never know what you can do until you have to do it.

Maggie I am so sorry that you have had to learn to live with this disease. I did too, for about 12 years, until I found this site, and have started to see some improvement, so I know that you mean about acceptance and being able to find some comfort in the 6 to 8 times a day. I've been in the 25 to 30 times range too many times myself, and yes, 6 to 8 is a vast improvement!! 
My SO is going to retire next year and I have another 9 years left to go. Good for you that you only have 4 more!
By the way, I was thinking of you the other day and thought I must tell Maggie this story... we had a Flicker get stuck in our basement. I could hear this flapping noise down there, so opened the basement door and there was a a poor young Flicker flapping at the window in the stairway trying to get out. I have no idea how he got in there to begin with (it is still a mystery) , but I called my hubby and he threw a towel around him and put him outside. He squawked but flew away when released, and a couple of feathers fluttered to the ground. I saved them (lovely orange quill shafts on them) Talk about living with nature!!
Regards,
Linda
