Calpro at 15!!! Tears of joy

I (30F) was diagnosed about a month ago with a flare that came during a period of high stress in my life and was confirmed via colonoscopy. Initial calprotectin test was around 3200, and after one month on mesalamine tablets and suppositories, I just got my results back for my follow up stool test and I dropped my phone in disbelief seeing the "normal" label and clicking the test to see FIFTEEN!!! I can't believe it. I know I've been feeling better, but this disease has really done a number on my mental health, and has made me doubt my own intuition. Feeling better, but doubting it and thinking of a dozen other things that could be wrong with me (I've diagnosed myself with POTS, pericarditis, breast cancer, you name it over the last month. I know, I need to stop going on MayoClinic) and I finally feel just a little bit of relief. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I'm rooting for all of you to be able to feel this as soon as you can, too! We got this.
