What??? He said "No" on the rectal meds??? Weird! I'd ask for Cortifoam (rectal meds), I hate when docs don't work with their patients and their requests...did you ask why he said "no" to the rectal meds?

:)

Called doc this a.m. because too much diarrhea for taking prednisone... He upped it to 20 mg... let's hope it alleviate some of the symptoms.

He said no on rectal meds. I see him next week...

He would be fired. That's putting it nicely.

Ditto Dr-A. I'd find a new GI pronto.

I'd also find a new one, that's ridiculous. That's not the r-word I wanted to use but I don't know how sensitive everyone is =p If you can't find a new one in time, get pushy.

Well, I went back to 20 mg (from 15) and the bleeding and diarrhea seems to have abated (FOR NOW!!)

I would like to go

to 17.5 for week. 15 for week. 12.5 per week, 10 per week, etcc....

Can I run this by you guys. My GI, I may have to find a new one... this sucks!! He goes to the Church of Fast Tapers and No Enemas.
