ok- new meds for me--imuran

Sometimes with 20 mg 1-2 weeks... 40 mg to start is usually 2-3 days it seems. Imuran usually months if it works, but never did for me. Depend on how many times you have been on the pred too. The anti-spamsodics will help while seeing patients. I definitely don't want my guts rumbling when doing exams, lol. I have had to go check something several times though... Usually just say "If you'll excuse me just a second I'll be right back." Just act like you are wondering about something you asked them, lol.

Pred usually works quickly, but I agree that 20 may not be enough to start with. It does take 3 months on the average for Imuran to take effect. I hope it works well for you.

In the meantime, you might want to allocate a bit more time for each client, in case you do need to excuse yourself. People tend to get possessive about their 50 minutes, I think.

thanks- Maybe i will ask the doc. about anti-spasmodics early Mon.

You can get the immodium without prescription. Usually a couple of those starts to equal one of the prescription lomitil I get. about 7$ for 48 of them.

 

will that help if it is mainly blood and mucous?

It doesn't help with your flare...it will slow down the movements.

Are you on rectal meds? Have you ever been on them?

Hope you start to feel better soon...

Once you start the imodium, please make sure you're not taking a LOT of it and only take it if you believe you need it.

How many times a day are you interrupted to use the bathroom during sessions?

Too bad you couldn't have a good discussion with that butt of yours explaining its behaviour is having a bad influence on you...lol!

Beleive me Ihave been trying to talk to the Dupa to settle the Hell down.  at this time cannot take the rectal meds due to a pelvic floor disorder which was just treated at Mayo for two weeks.   You can nread a post I had a few weeks explaining that. 

As of last week I was getting iterrupted two times a day- now if It were today it would have been 5 times by 10:30.  I guess I will see how I am doing tomorrow ad the ntalk to my supervisor if I need to. 

I feel so bad cancelling my patients appts. because they plan so far ahead- and look for that time for guidence- espically this time of the year.  right now i just fear having a lvoely blow out of bl, and M, in my office.  euw- that would not be pretty.

Woudl it make sense to go oin 2 ours later to make sure everythig is settled down a bit?

     WI chica...dupa.....LOL...you must be POLISH like me!!

I tried Imuran last year at this time. After taking it for a month it got really nasty. I started getting really nauseous after 10min of taking it, throwing up and basically knocked me out for the day. It was like taking a 'food poisoning pill'. The weirdest thing was it was totally fine for the first month or so.

I sincerely hope it works for you.
