Drinking entocort enemas

Yes, you read that correctly. I am on day 7 of drinking entocort enemas. Since my bleeding ulcer is in the duodenum ( right after the stomach ), I was advised to try this. I am taking another week of it and we will see.

My last blood test 2 weeks ago was 117!!!! If you have been following me, you know that I have been struggling with anemia for a very long time due to the bleeding. I have another blood test tomorrow and hope it is up. I have nice pink lips so it must be up there.

I found a great site to keep in contact with my family. It is called caringbridge.org. You get to set up a website and tell your story and invite people to read. For me it is great because a lot of my family is out of town, so they just check in and read my updates.

Everyone stay positive!!!

What do they taste like, Blacky?

I plug my nose because I am very sensitive, I gag really easy. But I add a splash of welchs grape juice. It reminds me of the bowel prep "golytly" (sp?), it is not that bad, I have no side effect at all. Had a blood test yesterday so will find out Monday what is happening.

I know what you mean. But in theory it should work????? Worth a try, 6 more to go, UGH. And what if it does work, how great will that be. I am gaining weight, up to 121 now. It is amazing how much better you can think straight and handle everyday stuff with a normal hemoglobin. It has such an effect on your brain. I am so happy that the last 3+ weeks I have been feeling better. I was really really low there for awhile, and glad to be happy again.

Who knows, I still may need to have surgery later on but for now, today, I feel really good. And that I am grateful for.

I wish only happiness and positive outlooks for everyone. I have been following Andi and she has been going through so much, but her last post was so positive and that helps me to remain positive.
