Hi. I haven't been here for a long time. I've had UC for many, many years. Diarrhea every day for over 20 years. I was crying on the toilet from pain every morning and typically 4 BMs. My body...
I finally got an exception for a year's worth of Asacol. The huge delay seemed to be the insurance needing to call it a "pre-authorization" and the doctor's office calling it something else. After we...
Redmond Clay. If I don't have at least a teaspoon a day in my drinking water I really notice it the next day. Nothing I've tried otherwise, RX or remedy, has nearly as much impact as that one thing....
From my experience, I'd say Prednisone. I spent months never getting more than 20 minutes of sleep at a time because I was waking up in literal puddles of sweat that often because of that drug....
I just tried Lialda after over 10 years, no problem, on Asacol. After 5 days I started with bad vertigo, nausea, abdominal cramps, etc. The vertigo had me the most worried. My symptoms went away...
That's so awful! Remicade was suggested for me, but the cost and problems if you go off it... Frankly that scared the crap out of me. Good thing I didn't start it too, because my husband had a very...
My doc only has hours in my town 1, maybe 2, days a month. We seem to have to deal with the main office to even reach the nurse. Neither were even in yesterday, and I've pretty much given up waiting...
Thanks for the info on the generics. I see no reason to go through yet another dr appointment when this ALL started RIGHT AFTER I was forced to change from Asacol due to insurance manipulations - 5...
It seems like I still need a solution. Apriso didn't cause a bad reaction like Lialda did, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm beginning to get symptoms which I haven't had in a long time, enough...
Thanks so much for the suggestions. I'll ask my doctor if I can try one of them next, the closer to asacol the better since I never had problems with it. I've had requests go in to the insurance for...
Like many of you, my insurance decided to stop insurance coverage for Asacol. I've been on Asacol and Asacol HD for many years without problems. However, my doc tried changing me to Lialda. 5 days...
Hi all. Its been a few years since I've posted here. I came back looking for an alternate to the Redmond clay I happened upon by accident because the sodium in it seems to be causing problems. I got...
Thanks all. I was concerned about qualifying for aid due to the fact that he just got laid off. I figured there would be a waiting period for anything like that. if I can get my doctor to prescribe...
My husband was very suddenly laid off today which means that my insurance will be going away. Due to sudden decrease in income just the insurance cost of Asacol would be a lot, and I will definitely...
FosterDad, Unless you go to an herbalist, I highly recommend doing a heck of a lot of research before taking a new supplement. I always doing a great deal of reading and web searches on each...
Hi all, I just joined for the ulcerative colitis forum. I figured I'd drop in here as well since I get migraines. I did manage to find something which greatly reduced them and hope it's not a problem...
Just a thought. I'm not sure if the angle would be right, but might those anti-gravity chairs work for this? I have edited out the web address on your post as this could be considered advertising!...
