Update

Hi,

I posted a question almost 3 weeks ago, asking for suggestions to control a mild flare. Here is an update on my situation: I have been on nightly hydrocortisone enemas for 2 weeks, now I use them every other day, alternating with mesalamine enemas. I believe I got it mostly under control, since I have one normal BM in the morning and occasionally some mucous. No urgency, no cramps. There is still some inflammation, since I see the mucous sometimes, but I really improved from the 4-5 bloody stools a day.

For those of you who are having a proctitis flare-up or are trying to control the rectal inflammation, you should give hydrocortison enemas a try. I saw improvement in two days and had no side effects (nothing like the Prednisone would cause.)

Good luck to all of you,

Awesome to hear you're improving so well!

Thanks for the update...always appreciated.
