i posted a couple of times on here about new medications, nausea, and just my overall story with uc. but i am glad to be able to say, today has been one of the best days I've had in almost two weeks! not to say that i would have said tha same yesterday, because yesterday i was lying in bed contemplating going to the er, i felt so bad. i don't know how it happened in one day but today i was able to get up, get dressed and fix my own food for crying out loud! yesterday after a call to the doctor he prescribed me two different medications, one for nausea and one for cramps. (hyoscyamine and ondansetron) which have helped extremely with those annoying uc symptoms. but that with a combination of uceris i am feeling great. i still had 4-6 bms today but for the first time in almost two weeks, there was no blood!!! words can't explain how excited that makes me! just had to share in my happiness and i pass all the "luck" i had with on to every one else :)


and yes i know this wouldn't be considered remission but i feel like im on the road! its a big thing for me!

That's great. Funny how UC makes us appreciate the little things; like making our own food and only going to the toilet a few times a day, a formed stool, haha. I hope this is the start of MANY good days, months & years for you.

Yay!! Any improvement is great. I hope you keep getting better. I love zofran too. I vomit a lot with my flares and it always helps.

notsosickly, yes i did very much appreciate the little things today. its good to have someone to fix your food for you but only when you're actually able to fix it on your own and they do it as a treat. but when your actually incapable of doing it yourself its depressing!! and you wish you did have that small ability! thanks for the well wishes and all the same to you!

banana, any improvement is great improvement! it just gives me so much more hope for what's to come and how good i can actually feel!! the nausea medication worked wonders but unlike you i never actually threw up. bless your heart for having to endure that! well wishes to you!!!

Great to hear things are improving!

You might consider to ask the doc for steroid suppositories or enemas to help with the rectal healing.....low dosage to start.

Keep us posted how you're doing!

Posts like this make me feel so awesome. To be honest I've been in remission (not really, but compared to a lot of people on here, I have it pretty mild) for some time now... occasional flare up that'll last half a week. It really is like you're given tunnel vision on what was once a controllable life. It's so nice to be able to focus on other obligations, family, friends, etc instead of where a bathroom is. Glad to hear your progress! Keep yourself motivated!
