Randy, I read your whole website and I am shocked at what you have been through. I'm feeling pretty darn healthy right now! ;-) I am amazed that you still have a sense of humor. I don't think I could...
Hi everyone, I want to thank you all so much for your posts. They made me feel so much better and I'm trying to think more positive about my condition. Sniper, I have printed your post and have it...
I was on Asacol for a week when I was first diagnosed. It didn't help me at all. Lialda is basically the same as Asacol but it's a once a day pill. I sure hope my hair loss stops soon. It's really...
Hi, I have been on Lialda for almost 8 months now. 3 months ago I started losing my hair. I'm not sure if it's from the Lialda or major stress from this disease and other health issues but it sucks...

Hi Katie, Thank you for all of the information. How long did you have to stay in the hospital? I'm hoping to have it done as an outpatient. I am also a stay at home mom but to an almost 4 year old....
Tami ...
I've been doing okay since being put on 2 Lialdas in the morning. Though, I was wondering, what exactly does remission mean ... do you not have any symptoms when in remission? I haven't had blood in...
Not only do I use a flashlight, I go on a baby wipe and then take it to the counter and check it all out with the flashlight, magnifing glass and a toothpick. It's crazy!!! This disease has made me...
