Anyone here been diagnosed with Ulcerative Proctitis and if so how long have you had it? Does it consist mostly of the tenesmus (feeling of fullness and like you need to pass stool but only gas or small stools or nothing come out with maybe some blood)?
What meds are you on for it?
Have you had remission and then some flares?
Does it sometimes go back and forth between constipation and diarrhea?
I was diagnosed in 2007 with the UP after both seeing a gastro doctor and a proctologist. Have had two colonoscopies and wS given Canasa suppositories 1000mg nightly which I continue to use regularly.
Was doing good with regular BMs for a number of years but recently started again with the back and forth betw D and C. Along with blood showing up at start of BM, then none as it continued. Seems to be at start of going in morning.
Was on Prednisone for 30 days of a 60 mg taper to 10 back in September 2015. It helped but terrible side effects from the prednisone. Really don't want to go on them again unless absolutely necessary.
I am a 68 year old grandma and this disease is tiring me out terribly plus stressing me out too.
Any suggestions or help on how to get into remission or to maintain some semi-normal BMs?
