I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 2004. In June of this year, my former GI diagnosed me with IBS as well. Does anyone have the same issue? It seems as though I am either having a significant...
I did tell the doctor that I had taken those meds and he still felt uncomfortable diagnosing me....
I am prescribed the Cymbalta for anxiety and depression, the Tramadol for UC. I am actually a female, haha....
I have been experiencing pain for a while now. I had an appointment with a rheumatologist yesterday and he is pretty confident I have fibromyalgia, HOWEVER, when he tested my tender points he wasn't...
I also have a decent list of food allergies. Wheat (gluten), eggs (white and yolk), cow's milk, whey, and almonds. My diet is pretty limited these days, sometimes I test foods 'just to see' and...

Discrimination! Hopefully it will all work out for you. I could say try to relax and not stress, but it won't work. Take it easy!...
I'm a little firecracker, always have been and always will be. I'm open and sometimes a little too honest about my disease. Those around me know not to apologize for me having UC or even pity me. I...
When I take my Asacol, I always eat a banana and about 10 saltine crackers. I wait about 20 minutes (taking a shower, getting ready for the day) and then take my medications. I find that it doesn't...
Try the Remicade! It worked wonders for me. I was fed up with having to constantly be taking Prednisone and the rest of the medications and still going to the bathroom 15+ times a day. The Remicade...
I've been experiencing extreme joint pain all the way from my shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, hips, knees, ankles, down to my toes for months. I had a doctor's appointment and they ran 23...

BobDylan, I recently turned 23 and was diagnosed with UC my Freshman year of High School. I can understand where you are coming from not wanting to opt for surgery and not wanting a bag on your side...
When I first read the topic, I thought it was a joke. I mean how can you 'like' anything about Ulcerative Colitis but then I began to think and ponder. If it weren't for this disease I wouldn't be...
I get them from time to time as well. Every doctor I've told about it has pretty much blown me off. A couple of years back I went to the ER and they gave me an IV of potassium and they went away for...
After being in remission for nearly a year, I am starting to flare. Two weeks ago my BM's started to revert back to bloody and diarrhea. Eight days ago I scheduled a dr appointment. Three days ago I...
Ah, goats? I am sorry to hear that. That would frustrate me to no end. However, I do suffer from insomnia as well. It drives my parent's crazy. I will be doing everything that should be done during...
Ania, welcome to the board! I am sorry that your body seems to be against you. I hope that you will find a sense of comfort as you talk to all of us here. I was in remission for a good while, and...
Ah! The iron. It totally slipped my mind. Thank you all for your responses. And yes, I have been having really bad abdominal pain....
Yes, I got the phone call today, well yesterday rather. The company is MBS/Vox. It seems legit. I am really excited and suprised that I was accepted. On September 24th, a researcher will be coming...
I hope everyone is doing well, I currently have one of those twenty four hour stomach bugs, on top of a flare of UC. Also, I have a question. It seems like the past few times I have had D, it has...
Ah, you people and your old-timey music! I'm just kidding, I love it. I enjoy music from all genres and all eras. I must say, hands down, Def Leppard is my all time favorite band. I seen them in...
Pretty much back to where I started. I am having D like you would not believe, I am bleeding, and the cramping is getting to be unbearable. I swear every time I use the bathroom, I feel as though I...
I am having hair issues as well. It could be the Remicade, it could be stress. I am strongly considering pulling a GI Jane, if my hair gets thinner. What do you all think?...
