Today will be day 8 of 30mg of Prednisone. There are small improvements. Although I've been getting up at 2 or 3am and having to pass the cort enema and some mucous that I wasn't having before. I'm not sure if that is because I'm waking up because of LDN. When I wake my guts always start churing because I'm nervous about
my UC in general. I wasn't doing that before though.
I am now passing spattery bloody mucous (sometimes it's pink/brown and sometimes red) followed by formed stool. This morning the stool looked perfect other than the blood. It also hurts as I pass it. The pain afterward had decreased. It just seems that formed stool rips me open again and I keep wondering how I can soften that without giving myself D or more bleeding. Anyone have ideas for this? Keep condidering the PSeed powder but haven't tried yet.
Saw my naturopath yesterday. He tested me for nutrient deficiancies and everything came back great. He said better than anyone on the standard american diet. Omegas, calcium, B vitamins, D3 etc. The only low one was COEnzymeQ10. His results were the same, only one deficiancy. This tests for what is in your cells. He wants me to back off all my supplements to see if that helps. We talked about how fish oil and turmeric can increase the bleeding. So he wants me to stick to the Prednisone, LDN and licorice root. If I get worse than I will start adding back. I'm nervous about stopping them but maybe something is contributing?
5 days till the new GI appt, I hope I like him enough to change.
