Improvement

Hi everyone,

I was diagnosed with proctitis in Feb. 2013. My GI put me on Canasa. I have been taking it ever since, but when I was at a follow up three weeks ago he also put me on Apriso because I was not improving greatly. Since taking Apriso I have notice some improvement. Less urgency, BM's, and mucus. I am still not free of symptoms. What I am wondering is if my UC is most likely in other places as well, not just proctitis because of improving on Apriso? I thought oral meds don't help proctitis.

Quincy, Prior to Apriso I had semi-formed to loose bm's approx. 3-5 per day with about 2 days during the week being worse at approx. 10. Now, my bad days are 3-5 and typical 2-3. I do not know how much of the rectum. Dr. only ever has said proctitis. I do not have the pathology report from the biopsies, but I go to the doctor tomorrow and will see about getting a copy. I am also still on the Canasa. I have noticed increased fatigue, thirst and eye sensitivity to sunlight since being on Apriso. Is that normal? Is there anything else I should be asking about at my appointment tomorrow?

Thank You
