Hi new here, looking for advice. I've had agressive lower left UC for past 10 years, somewhat controlled by Imuran 100mg daily along with Asacol 4800mg with the exception of 2 or 3 flare ups every year each time put back into remission with course of Prednisone. Had a flare 6 months ago, Prednisone didn't do much my symptoms were different than usual, normally was just bloody diarrhoea. Now it is almost normal stools with high volume of mucas or bloody mucas. Tried Pred once more in January adviced by the doctor I suffered nothing but severe acne on all my glands, armpits, throat, around my nose and I think i counted 6 - 7 boils on my ****hole (sorry) I will never touch steroids ever again. Ok forward to now just went through hell with first biological med Humira, my feet swolled to twice the size and had excruciating pain in my shins every time I stood up from sitting. That carried on for 4 weeks after I stopped the injections. I'm reluctant to try Remicade now (doctors next idea). I'm currently on a laundry list of supplements which seem to be helping me stay out of hospital, I've always had a good healthy diet of organic foods etc tried a month of gluten/dairy and wheat/grain free diet with little effect apart from rapid weight loss (25kg total since December) I currently have semi normal stools twice day like clockwork but with mucas or bloody mucas bms in-between, I'm trying high CBD 25mg capsules once a day before bed but haven't noticed much change, I'm going to up the dose to 2 a night. Anyone had any success with CBD? This flare up is unusual and different to all others I've had, anyone had a similar experience? Thanks. Jason
