hi,
I have been asking a lot lately as i have been suffering a lot. last September, i started a flare up and was put on 40 mg pred along wiz 150 aza. Things became better 2 months later and i started tapering pred. In April., I flared again and z pred dose was upped to 7.5 mg but things didn't go on smoothly. in both May and June, i flared up again. at that time, i suspected diet and elemininated it as much as i could. pred was upped again to 10 mg and 175 imuran. yesterday, watery nonstop diarrheal bouts started again. i called my doc and he told me to up pred to 15 mg and take lomotil regularly. What shall i do?
i have a real problem: all my colonoscopies are clean(last one 2 years ago). all blood work normal and so are all cts and mris. my doc told me zat once he finds any ulcer, i"ll be switched to remicade and not before zat. Has anybody been through zis before? I do really suffer and have no clue what to do.
Thank you
Meds: 15 mg pred, 175 imuran, 4g Salofalk, 80 Nexium. Used to take pentasa enema for proctitis.
