Well if it makes any of you ladies feel better I was in remission, got pregnant, had a flare that continued throughout both pregnancies. One not controlled with medication, one controlled with...
The cluster of genes bit interests me alot, because my UC appears to be genetic, I can probably bet money that my UC will end up similar to my mother's UC, you think?...
What? You don't have fun racing to the bathroom?? ;-)...
I have been taking fish oil capsules for a few days now. Not really for UC although it has benefits, but mainly to try and better my diet and fill the food gaps with supplements. Anyone feel like...
Sara I don't know why. I have the same GI as my mother and she is on maintenance meds, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree over here.... If he were to suggest meds, what are your opinions on the...
So UC changes and constantly forms (worsens) the longer you have it? It makes sense! I will really look into that magnesium deficiency. I have also been researching some additional supplements.. I...
Awww Sherry, 40 is the new 30!! :D...
When I had my sigmoidoscopy they found ulcers in my colon/rectum and my blood work came back with the tecnician saying all of my tested levels fit the catagory of colitis. I have not had a...
Some people are sensitive to changes in others. I recently found out my mom was diagnosed with Cancer and between that and the two kids under 4, I just haven't been sleeping alot lately. Coming in...
I couldn't live without a remote car starter!!! I live near Saranac Lake which holds some of the coldest temperatures on US record. But in all reality once you hit a certain temp it's just cold......
I think she's was giving you a "starter" to hold you over until you saw your GI over the next few days. I don't think the ER gives "long term" prescriptions, I've only ever been give a week of...
Yeah I am at -24 today (WITHOUT wind chill) so, does it make you feel better to know you are warmer then me?? ;)...
I've been researching UC for as long as I can remember and I am not a typical UC person. Sometimes I wonder if maybe just maybe they misdiagnosed me or something. I just wanted to throw my story out...
I remember once I was yard Saling with my mom and I felt gas (this was pre diagnosis) so I passed it and it wasn't gas and there was NOTHING in the car so I had to wipe myself with newspaper!! Now I...
I am just a gassy person and they smell no matter what but when I am starting to flare I cannot pass gass without being over a toilet because 99% of the time it's not just gas and oh man... it smells...
By reading your posts I had thought you were recently pregnant, please do not be upset at my post, I in no way wanted to offend or upset you. I know alot of women going through IVF and I wish you the...
I wish I had that problem. The Prednisone denied me all of the weight loss glory ;) I am normally 5'10, 165 but between my last pregnancy and the Prednisone I am trying to break the 200 mark :(...
I cannot be much help, I am sorry as I would only take Prednisone during pregnancy, which I took from the day I was diagnosed until months after I delivered. It controlled my flareup from 40-50 times...
I have been on birth control on and off since college and did not see a short term correlation but I have been pregnant 3 time (the first ending in m/c) and the first pregnancy the flare started at 5...
