Two years ago i was in the hospital with double pnuemonia[had a 104 fever].I was put on I.V antibiotics and flagyl[got c-diff while in hospital].After having colitis for 23 years and not having any serious flares[minor bleeding that rowasa usually took care of] it seems that my colon isn't working normally like it did for many years.Early last year i started with prednisone,then August of 09 i started 6mp.I have had to stop my 6mp twice because of a low blood count.I've been up to 150 mg[HAD LOW BLOOD COUNT-had to stop until count was better] of 6mp and my stool was normal[it took 6 months from when i started my 6mp to get a normal stool].In the last few months my stool is very loose,i'm being ultra careful with my diet-not easy to be MR.BLAND. Was on 75 mg for the last few months and it didn't help the runny stool,so my doc and i discussed upping the 6 mp.I just started with 100mg last week[had blood test today],so lets hope for the best-usually have 2-4 bms in the morning and thats also with doing rowasa 4 out of the last 5 nights.Anyone been down this same road?GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE.
