O wow never new they had bathrooms like that. LOL...
Sits baths may help too. The hotter the better. I did this for my fissures, but it might be different for hemoriods....
I agree with this. It really does help. I would rather have a multi-vitamin then an iron pill anyday....
c. dif.? Is that Crones or a type of UC i don't know about?...
Ya i know meds affect everyone differently. I guess i really wanted to know what other people had for pain meds. Yes pain meds are fun... /community/emoticons/redface.gif ...
It could be a fissure i would go to the doctors and make sure everything is fine before putting cream on. Because it could make it worse. Either way i would try to avoid TP if it gets worse. Sits...
So in the past I would have bad flairs and end up in the emergancy room. I would go in for constipation. It was funny when I would endure the pain and wait till the doctor orders some other meds...
Sounds similar to what i have had in the past. Ya no worries sounds like your UC is just as unprodictable as being struck by lightning. You never quite know when a flair is done or not. o.0...
Never had back pain with this drug. In fact this drug is way better then prednisone. *I am starting to hate having been on Prednisone* But anyway wow good to know though that can happen. Thanks ^_^...
I like Ice tea. It works wonders for me. =) Or maybe just tea all together...humm theres... constent commet, mint tea, black tea....*this list could go on forever*...
DITTO. Don't give up yet. Maybe surgery is your route? *"Always look on the bright side of life." (Monty Python)...
As far as i can see it cancer risks may be high. But that depends on what kind of UC and how well it is controlled. Colon Cancer is high only because of the rapid growth of the colon's cell wall. It...
I take benifiber in the pill form. But sometimes pills don't dessolve right so i take the powder form of benifiber if that happens. It is more of a taste preference because it is tasteless that way....
I stay away from milk and some cheese. For example I can't take the hard cheeses anymore. Like hard chedder. It is always best to go for the "mild" cheeses. At least it is better for me. And the mild...
Yes it sounds like UC. Sorry but the clan is here if it is. This is a lame and horrible clan to join. Just make sure you try not let UC get to you. The first year is always the hardist....
/community/emoticons/turn.gif We all have alot to learn. When do we stop learning?...
Good God i wouldn't wish this on my worst foe! Let alone someone I know and can semi respect...I say semi because any self-respecting person would never say that. But it is funny....
You bet ignorance is bliss. I have some friends that worry about me and others that get mad at me when i say umm i have been sick for lets seee.....6 years! They go ya sure you are just saying that....
This makes me wonder if some people who have an illness should be doctors. I am pondering this. Just a random thought. That is awsome that you have a doctor that knows how it is. I kinda wish i was...
Ouch. /community/emoticons/mad.gif Yes that sums it up. I hope things get better for you though. Sounds like a tough day....
I am on remicade and i don't have that many problems. I would rather have the meds before the surgery. Except prednisone, have you seen some of the side effects? I am still working on my side effect...
Hey anyone know the song from Monty Phython? Allways look on the bright side of life. Yep life sucks I hope things get better for ya. /community/emoticons/smilewinkgrin.gif ...
YaY someone finnaly said it. This really is a graphic disease. I never liked wonder bread by the way. ...
I don't like white bread. Sometimes i eat it but i really don't like it. Give me whole grains anyday. ^_^...
LoL Quincy 3 watches...never heard of that one. Shoot if my mom had a watch for her Diabetic Meds then she would only have 6....or so. Wow thx though i wonder if it is the same thing for benifiber? O...
I know i avoided a flair this fall. The doctors always want to give me antiboitics for any little thing. I refuse! Unless i need them i won't take them! It isn't worth it. I no longer go with their...
quincy said... The huge problem is that people feed this crap to their kids. It's in everything because it's so much sweeter than sugar, cheaper, manufacturers use less and make a bigger profit....
Prednisone sucks!!!! I am no longer on it since switching to Remecade. *So far so good* I can't beleve you don't gain some weight. Lucky...lets see last time I topped out at 140. Now i am back down...
I know what you mean. My emotions get me into a flair reall quick. I don't even know how or why i am stressed. But I like talking to a friend about my problems but sometimes they spend too much time...
If you don't like water. Try Ice tea, with it watered down and one packet of suger. Tea makes my world go round. Or if it is hot tea try honey. =q Trust me the ice and honey don't mix...I tried....
First off what kind of UC do you have? Is it Left Sided? Because if it is then maybe you just need a kick start. Try Miralax if you feel like you need a kick start. Sometimes when I get a little...
Tylenol best pain relever ever! Other big no-no's Asprin ibprofrin any prescription pain meds *but sometimes you can't avoid them* and any other blood thinners out there. BIG NO-NO'S. In fact make...
WoW sounds like you are down on your luck. Do you like a good book? A good book might make things better? Or maybe a walk around the block. ummm let me see what else can you do to releve that stress....
Prednisone should always be taking with food. And Imuran should aswell, but Prednisone really needs food. For people who don't take prednisone with food they must have really tough stomack. i think i...
I agree. When I am well rested I feel ten times better. But I really really really REALLY need more sleep when it's near my week for Remicade. And even then I am a walking zombie, my friends and...
Lets see drinks. Water ice tea unsweetend (i sweeten it with 1 pack of suger and I make sure half of it is water) Salads (me love them!!!!) Anything that isn't too greasy or too spicey (which sucks...
Tell ya what. You got people here to help ya out. Never underestimate the power of a social networking. There are some things I can type to people that I would never say to them in person. For fear...
First off what colitis do you have? Some people have diarrhea while others have constipation. Sounds like you have the diarrhea UC. So I would look out for any noticeable loose bowels. If it persists...
I had this happen to me because of prednisone. No worries if that is the same case with ya then your hair will grow back....
I must have fiber every day. But this is because of my left sided UC. But i say if you doctors says its ok not to have certin fiber then it sounds like a plan just to avoid them. Hey now you can say...
Iron pills= /community/emoticons/nono.gif They gave me some iron supliments and I didn't do so good.So now I stay away from those little pills....
When I eat at McDonald's I make sure to eat the salad's or a fruit mix...avoiding the fatty burgers and fries. but sometimes I eat a burger... but I hardly ever finish the fries...or even touch them....
Well I have a funny story too and it isn't even my UC. Which is getting better. Last week I went 4 wheel ridding with my dad. Ya I nearly killed myself but it was fun. Dad: Now don't let go of the 4...
Ya I don't think I can. Not only because of the meds but because I had a blood infusion about 2 years ago.They tend to frown upon people who are sick anyway. Besides its way more fun to be a vampire....
I am due for my remicade in about 2 weeks. I can't w8...=) ok so this is what i do i w8 till the next infusion, tiss fun. YaY =) I am always at my best right after my infusion....
I am on Imuran. I don't think I have had any bad side effects not like I do with Prednisone.Don't worry i was on Prednisone for an extended amount of time. Sounds like your gonna be off of it soon,...
I don't think that iron would be too good. Why not try a multi-vitamin?...
Ya it does suck. But you get better as time goes on. /community/emoticons/cool.gif ...
Ask to see if you can use remicade. Its what i am on and so far so good. *don't want to jinx it though.* /community/emoticons/roll.gif YaY for new emotions... /community/emoticons/turn.gif...
