Diclyomine Helping Crohn's! Near 100%

So about a week or so my GI prescribed diclyomine which seems to have helped. I noticed less cramping and pain after I started taking it. The only thing I have noticed is that is my nose seems to have dried up and I have no moisture. My bowel movements have decreased as well. Part of the reason could be increasing the Humira and my colon now having some rest after my c difficle episode. Right now I am suppose to be taking 2 diclyomine pills a day but about two days ago I wanted to see if I could get by with one. When I first started taking it I noticed that I was a tad dizzy but this went away. My GI told me to immediately stop the drug if I get constipated. The only other side effect is blurred vision which I haven't notice yet
On another note I took a road trip to Dallas last weekend and felt quite amazing. I really do think stress has some impact on Crohn's health. I feel pretty good this week but when I was able to sleep for 9 to 10 hours, relax, and not have anything to worry about I felt good.
I am pretty satisfied with were I am in my condition. The Mayo Clinic called me to see how I was doing (I e-mailed them when I wasn't sure about what treatment course to take) and the doctor I saw suggested 6-MP however one draw back to this is monthly blood testing. He agreed that me taking diclyomine was a good idea. I somewhat agree with my GI's approach since it is more conservative. I would honestly say right now I am probably at 90% (10% due to diarrhea). Perhaps my colon is finally healing and my body is getting back to normal. It is quite amazing earlier this year I felt on the verge of death and had to get 3 liters of fluids pumped into me and now I am quite almost back to normal.
