This is my first time on this site. I was diagnosed with UC 5 years ago and have had about
4 flare ups. This latest flare up started in mid August and I cannot seem to get this one under control. I was on Balazalide as my controller med which worked for a while. For the flare ups I was prescribed the Roacia enemas which also worked until this last flare up. I was off them for a week and symptoms came back right away ( never fully gone to begin with.) Then the doctor put me on the cort enemas and changed me to Lialda. I have been on the cort enemas now almost 3 weeks and have some better days and some not so good days. Still having urgency and cramping and still seeing alot of blood. Does anyone know if this is common once you are on these cort enemas for this long? I recall seeing more on an improvement by this time with the Roacia enemas. The doctor had me on dyclocyclamine for the cramping but that just made me feel like sleeping all the time so he took me off that and within a few days cramping is back.
I am to the point of being discusted with not feeling well, no energy, afraid to go anywhere because of needing a bathroom in a split second, crampiness in abdomen yet, just feeling plain "crappy" for 2 months now.
