Hi all! My husband and I are planning to start trying to get pregnant. I keep being told different things about what prenatals to go on especially since my goal is to be on one now before we actually...
My husband made the suggestion to go back to 15 mg of prednisone...since I did that, the headache went away and the eye blurriness is not so bad. I was on 20 mg of prednisone for a month and then the...

So my husband and I are planning to try to conceive this summer. I've been on Humira for more than a year. I feel alright. I have my ups and downs. More positive results than negative. My eating...
Sherry- thank you for sharing. I appreciate that. The rheumy shared information that my joint pain/arthritis is most likely colitis related. My diet is not the best and I do drink coffee and not...
I've usually been successful with the prednisone in the past. Only thing was my GI doctor put me on 20 mg and had me taper off way too quickly. I believe that is why my symptoms came back with a...
My UC is not horrible right now. I do have some mucous in my stools. I've been seeing recurrent blood in my stool as well as the toilet paper. It usually looks anywhere from pink to bright red. I do...
I saw my rheumy yesterday. He said I have polyarthritis induced from the colitis. He took blood to check my vit d levels, ra, and lupus, as well as antibodies. He wants to put me on 30mg of...
Thank you kazbern. My GI doctor didn't want me to stay on prednisone for a long period of time due to the side effects. Like you, I felt I tapered way too fast and did not absorb the full effects of...
Sara14- I don't have any advice as I am dealing with my own issues with handling stress. Everyone gave you a lot of wonderful advice. Thank you for posting this thread. :)...

I am a teacher and usually get up at 5am to leave for work around 6:40am. I really have to be careful with any probiotics I take as it can increase my colitis symptoms. Did you have any issues with...
Q- A lot of the probiotics give me awful cramping, gas mucuous, and just increases my colitis symptoms....
Q, I am not on any probiotic. The only one that doesn't bother me is Cutterle (not sure if I am spelling that correctly) but don't know if its good for increasing the vaginal flora and intestional...
My hubby and I are rehauling our diets to help put my uC in remission and to lose weight. Do any one of you have breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks recipes you swear by? I am trying to stay away...
I probably should do that since it would be much cheaper. Where did you purchase the boric acid and capsules?...
Teddtlove- I am starting to wonder if everything I am going through is because of Humira. I've been on the medication for almost a year now without any issues until November of 2012. That's when my...
Nope. I got the boric acid capsules 600mg as a prescription from my GYN....
Thank you! I will def read the posts about BV. I was on an antibotic during Christmas break for a sinus infection and then got my period. Was feeling fine but did use the boric acid capsules. Within...

I've been running back and forth to the bathroom since 1 am (eastern time) and that is not like me. Urgency usually starts around 5:30 am when I wake up to get ready for work. I had joint pain and...
I' ve been on Humira for a year now. Haven't had any arthritis related symptoms since being on it. Joint pain was the reason why I went off Remicade in the first place....
What do you normally take when you're flaring?? Yeah, me too. :/...
I just got off the phone with my GI doctor and he said to keep taking tyneol. He said to call the office tomorrow and get an appointment for Wednesday. He said its due to my colitis for sure....
Currently, I am on Humira bi weekly, Lialda (can only take half of the normal dose as anything more makes me vomit), Entecort (steriod) and that's it. I have to start taking Vitamin D. Eating too...
