Sooo, you've never been on any other mesalamine oral or rectal meds?
Have you had stool testing done to make sure you don't have an infection or anything else?
Your choice go go up the med ladder....., if all is clear after testing, I'd suggest to exhaust the mesalamines/steroid oral/ rectal topicals if they've never been tried in the past.

Ive been on cortisone enemas in the past, 20 plus years ago and they worked initially but after a decade their effect slowed. Never tried mesalamine.
Ive had stool tested and trusted doctor to cover all the appropriate tests. I never thought of them checking for infection, I am going to ask, because my symptoms are different than in the past. about
2 years ago I became unemployed and could not buy sulfasalazine for about
a month. This led to some unusual symptoms with very smelly feces and the smell quite different from normal. Since then, same odor and my muscles are thinning in my arms and I cannot lift much weight without muscle pain. once i'm on the prednisone, the muscle symptoms go away and odor decreases but still some smell.
