Thats so odd, I had a similar sensation on the left side of my tummy just a little while after I'd stopped taking predisolone. When I mentioned it to the GP she looked at me blankly and dismissed it...
A workout and then a hot bath/shower seems to do the trick for me. I dreaded the day i was told i'd have to go back on prednisone as I knew I could expect all the horrible side effects so I hit the...
Hi All, Thank you SO much for your replies its been so reassuring to know that I'm not alone! I've moved down to the 10mg dose since yesterday and noticed an IMMEDIATE difference in my symptoms! I...
Thank you so much! It's so reassuring to know someone else has the same thing! Supa - what do you do to calm it down, is there anything you've done to control it?...
thats strange! High blood pressure?! Thats something i've never suspected!...
Unfortunately, after a fairly long remission (18mths - 2yrs) I'm back on the steroids again and noticed some new side effects that I haven't had before so was hoping someone else might be able to...
It can take a little while to lose the weight after coming off steroids but it mainly depends on how long you were on them for! I usually find i lose the moon face and hair loss reduces within about...
Today i finally went for a wander in the vitamins aisle in the local supermarket and was OVERWHELMED by the variation in types of vitamins and probiotics on offer. So... my question is what do i need...
@ Red_34 - I have the same kind of experience, my PMT symptoms kick off the UC and then it all just snowballs downhill from there. What's endo ablation??...
that's so reassuring to know! When i mentioned it to the GP she seemed baffled and could only suggest one option - ANOTHER medication :( What do you all take for controlling the PMT symptoms? I have...
But D with blood and mucus???...
I have noticed that approx 2 weeks before my period is due I start getting some of my bad symptoms kicking up again. Usually this includes alot of wind, some blood, urgency to the loo etc. I...
Hi Susie, I'm sorry to hear you are feeling like that. I've had very similar side effects when I've been on a high dose for a prolonged period of time. It's one of the many many bad things about...
@ Peety, I understand exactly what you are saying and totally agree. But I was finding that the more my hair fell out, the more stressed I was, which in turn brought on another flare. It's a vicious...
well.... I've actually been prescribed 6 Asacol daily so thats 800mg, 3 times a day. But I noticed i used to get some hair loss. Then when they introduced me to the Aziathioprine I had EVEN more hair...
TBH Discouraged - I've never really had a "quick" taper. The average one has lasted at least 6 weeks, starting on a dose of 30mg, decreasing by 5mg each week. In that time I usually manage to get a...
Hiya, I've managed to survive another few days - have the appointment with my GI today so fingers crossed he has something worthwhile to share. I'm not currently taking any probiotics, can you...
Funnily enough, looking back I can't remember a summer when I've been flaring - unless i've been drinking heavily in the sunshine - which is of course self inflicted agony :s...
Hey all. I'm in a bit of a dilemma and would appreciate some advice from people who genuinely understand my problem so here goes... My nan passed away in June which was obviously a stressful time and...
I never thought of it like that. I guess i just take my remission for granted as though I can carry on as normal. You're right though, I will definately read up on it. Thanks princesa!!...
Thanks princesa I'm not actually flaring at all, so I feel "normal". regular BMs no blood etc. Its as though I don't even have any UC at all so thats why the appetite loss doesn't make sense. I know...
hide behind the window and water gun all the trick & treaters who come to your door?? (sorry thats just gonna send me straight to hell isn't it) :devil:...
Ides what kind of foods would contain a sensible level of folic acid? I have been on Azathioprine since about March of this year and noticed HUGE amounts of hair loss whenever i wash my hair. I can...
Hi All, I have noticed a bit of a weird pattern in my eating recently that's got me really confused and was wondering if anyone else had noticed similar symptoms? I have been in remission since about...
I had VERY bad PMT and cramps etc around and at the time of my period and definately noticed my UC kicking up a bit just before my period was due. I started taking evening primrose oil tablets which...
i never knew that asacol is linked with hair loss!! I have lost LOTS of hair in the last few years since i was diagnosed and not ONCE has my GP or Gi mentioned it having anything to do with the...
