Been on 6mp 6 weeks and seeing improvement in lots of ways, no blood a few days now, no tenesmus, etc.

BUT, for some reason, i have to poo a lot, like 5 or 6 times and there is urgency. Its formed and almost normal but the frequency and urgency every time i gotta go is strAnge.

Maybe i just healing And this is the last bit!

Urgency seems like it's the last to go for a lot of people. I am sure the urgency is making you go more than you would normally. It sounds like you're doing really well. I am so happy for you :)

Oh thank you. That makes me feel better. Its making hemmies act up to! ;-(

I took my 6 week blood test today so will know those results by next week.




I am really hoping this is just a phase.

when the stool is formed and there's no blood, it means you have no immflamation and you are recovering rapidly :)

Yes! I sure do need this break, it's been since October!!! I know there are people here with much longer flares and it makes me sad.

Last night when I put in hydro I really felt the hemmies, so I am going to concentrate on fixing them now, warm baths, tucks, lidocaine. Getting thru the work week is fun 😁

We have a new lady that sits close to the bathroom and this week lots of trips, she is looking at me like ???? 😜.

Think it's time to find another route.

DMC-I know what you mean about finding a new route to the bathroom.  I'm sure no one is paying attention but I always think people are counting how many times I use the bathroom.  Before my building was remodeled, we had two bathrooms--one in the front of the building and one in the back.  I could mix it up throughout the day.  Now just the one in the front but luckily there are two paths to that bathroom.

I still have blood and go 5 to 6 times a day too. I've been on the 6MP since March 16. Uceris since March 12th. Ugh................

DMC: I'm glad you are feeling better!

Absolutely not true....inflammation progresses and heals in increments. Bleeding isn't an only sign of inflammation, and if there was and then no more...it doesn't mean inflammation is gone as well.

DMC....you're healing and symptoms are changing. Great to hear, for it's been a long process.
Pay attention to them, for they may be symptoms of a flare starting in the future.

It certainly sounds like it's working. When I was on 6mp it didn't do anything for me at all and I was on it for a while just hoping it would kick in. The urgency will probably be next to improve. Happy it's working..keep it up!

Glad it sounds like it's working, just be patient (I know, easier said than done) but it does sound like you're definitely getting to the end of the tunnel with your symptoms and that's great!!

Hey have you tried any zinc barriers or anything I have a jpouch here but had hemmies at the start and the surgeon told me it was from the frequency of the bowel movements and not straining and to apply penaten or Vaseline regularly and they have passed!
