I just read an article about Glenn Frey's death caused by complications of RA, ulcerative colitis & pneumonia. The article hinted that being on biologics weakens your immune system & ultimately...
Thanks Dikid. I will look that up....
I am no longer on Methroxate due to running a fever when I took it. Doctor took me off after about 6 weeks. I take 400 mcg/day of folate. After reading above post I too notice I barely have arm hair....
Thank you for the reply. I've had 5 infusions and I feel I'm losing a considerable amount of hair (not noticeable to anyone else yet). I do take Folate & wondered if anyone else has this side effect...
[sup]Had anyone on Remicade experienced hair loss?...
The only antibiotics I've taken while in a flare is a combo of Cipro & Flagyl. I was also on 60 mg of prednisone tapered off to 10 mg then off completely. Hope he see improvement soon. I now take...
I am currently on methotrexate & Remicade. My GI didn't feel that Entivo would help as I was in a very bad flare (in the hospital 5 days). I tried Uceris before I was hospitalized & it didn't touch...
I agree with beave. Avoid popcorn, nuts, seeds, granola. Stick to a simple diet. Potatoes, rice, only cooked vegetables & lean protein like chicken. I am recovering from a bad flare ( in the hospital...
The triptans don't work for me, however Benadryl works great. I was having a horrible migraine this morning & I asked for Benadryl (given in my IV) & it literally went away before the nurse left the...
I too will be starting Remicade soon. I'm in the hospital for the 5th day now. I'm feeling much better but when I have a bowel movement I get an excruciating migraine that I'm pretty sure is coming...
Update - ended up in the hospital on Sunday do I never made it to the colonoscopy. Greatful I came in. My potassium is low, sodium high, & a bunch of other stuff. I'm on IV steroids, still on Cipro,...
I figured out why I'm still feeling so terrible. It's the Flagyl. Stuff is like poison to my system. The doc said to skip next dose & take Zofran (for nausea) before the next dose. I just want to...
I've been on prednisone 40mg, Cipro & Flagyl. This is my 3rd flare & by far the worst one. I had a CT Scan on Monday that showed my right lower side is a mess. My doc has been great & wants to get me...
Having a colonoscopy on Tuesday. I'm in a bad flare, been on meds 4 days so far. Doc has to find new med. Lialda no longer working. I'm eating light now anyway but still bleeding in lower right. Is...
Thanks Marauder93. I'm trying to decide if I need a medical leave from work. I managed to get 2 star days off so I don't have to work until Friday. I work as a dealer in a casino & I don't have...
I'm a 51 yr old diagnosed with crohns in 2011. This is my 3rd flare & by far the worst. I've been on Lialda 2x day and everything has been fine until about 2 weeks ago. I was very proactive & went to...
