I hate docs like that! Look for a new one!!!...
Never :(...
Continue what you are doing and add in yoga. Not sure if you are active but if not try adding in a walking workout. (I personally love Leslie Sansone's videos). I get leg pains daily if I don't...
I have no idea what she is going to recommend. I remember that the foam made me bleed quite a bit. It's been a long time since I've taken any meds. So far the only thing on the scope papers was to...
You might want to switch to a more gentle toothpaste and avoid soda and acidic food and drinks like orange juice, etc and see if it helps. I find that my mouth is very sensitive to toothpastes. Of...
This is the first time of my many scopes that they knocked me out a lot. I think when I said I am always awake for them when they put me in the room was part of it lol. Then I think when she started...
I have to say Ez2go was the "best" prep I have done. I didn't feel as awful this prep. I did almost puke doing the chalky tasting part which I had to drink one 10oz bottle the prep day and another at...
I don't think it is the soy milk but soy milk is not a good thing to drink for other reasons. (hormonal issues and bad for intestines) I am not sure if your medications could be causing dry mouth but...
I tried it, it gave me violent stomach pains after a month or so on it. I know another real person with UC who seems to be doing great on Shakeology and Remicade, she is even a fitness instructor...
Hi I also have suffered from proctitis. My personal opinion is to try everything rectally and less severe before trying biologics. Also really watch your diet. Avoid all artificial sweeteners and...
Like the others said there are many affordable options and also possibly free samples or medicine assistance from the company of the drug. Good luck. Proctitis sucks....
Maybe Flagyl? If it works for her, great! I'm not familiar with that cocktail but it makes sense....
Well I really can't complain yet. Cause it's not working at all. It's called ez2go. I drank two bottles as per instructions at 8 am and it's almost 11am and nothing yet. I guess it's ok cause I read...
Old Hat, So glad you were able to retire and now can take it easy. I am extremely fortunate that I can be a stay at home mom with older kids and spend my days exercising and resting if needed. I...
I am, he called in a prescription and I started it right away. :)...
Hi I am not sure if you remember me but I remember you! Glad your flare is minor and you are well!...
Hello everyone, not sure who remembers me or cares, lol, but I'm back on healingwell for info on thyroid issues which seem to be my new problem, stopping in here to say hello. I was diagnosed w...
These results were now when I've been off meds....
Hi I have a goiter and found out I have high antibodies attacking my thyroid (TPO test?) have you had that test done? My thyroid levels were normal besides that....
Free T4 0.8 TSH 2.35 TPO 158 TA 42 :( Will not see doc for 2 months but he called me in a script for generic Synthroid 25 mcg or whatever. Looks like Hashimoto's, right? Well at least that hopefully...
Yes please see an endocrinologist asap. They should be able to figure it out better. Don't forget to tell them about the hives, that's a sign of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Hope you can feel better soon....
Thanks so much, I will look into that. I have a sensation of a lump of phlegm sometimes, once I found out I found out I have a goiter I figured that's why I have that sensation. It can be so...
Oh my, the barnyarditis thing made me crack up. It's one of those things that sometimes you have to laugh at... I got a call today that my levels are currently within range. But the doc is going to...
That's interesting about heart rate. I will have to start checking mine. I feel so cold in my feet and hands, like they are frozen most the time. Hope you get it sorted soon. It's not fun to feel...
I don't think your symptoms sound thyroid related. But I am no expert....
Well, I'm not really new...I used to be on the UC boards a long time ago. I had some surgeries and am currently off all UC meds. Now I'm having new problems for the past year or so. I have been so...
Thank you all for the replies. I keep trying to figure out what caused me to be the "worst case for a 28 yr old". Was it the constant bms mixed with extreme constipation? Was it caused/worsened by...
Hi, I have been home a few days and my doing pretty good, I have some discomfort but not severe. The thing I have noticed with my last two surgeries is that the pain after surgery is less than the...
Hi everyone. Just thought I'd pop in to share my current experience. In 1995 I was told I had left-sided UC. In 2004 the scope came back showing only one ulcer in my rectum. My GI aggressively tried...
Oh my! I saw that this was from July so I don't know if any of you still come here. I have been having all these types of problems. I won't get into it too much since no one may ever see this but I...
Thanks! I am pretty sure I have one, there is split skin right on my anus. I already do the sitz baths and have been putting some neosporin on it because I wasn't sure what to do for it, I guess I'll...
I am pretty sure I have one even though I have been feeling great lately. What can I do at home for it until my next doctor's appointment?...
Hello, I have to share my experience with you.... In 1995 I was diagnosed with left-sided UC, I had ulcerations in my colon. I only got much worse while pregnant with my 2nd child and after he was...
Thanks for the guesses. To me it seems like some sort of reflux/heartburn issue. I took one Prilosec per day when I had the sensation and it didn't seem to help any of the times. It doesn't feel like...
Does anyone else have this? Is it hearburn or what? I tried taking Prilosec several times and it doesn't seem to help....
I agree Old Hat! I hate it too! It is hard to know who or what to believe at this point. I have been seen new doctors and a Colo-Rectal surgeon and just had a rectal resection. The surgeon believes...
I was told I have a bad case of this and that I will need surgery for it. Does anyone here have any experience with it? Thanks....
Bananas for potassium and sunlight for vitamin D. I need to start a Calcium supplement because I am ginving up on soy milk and all other milks....
He says it is more like solitary rectal ulcer syndrome....
I used a regular OBGYN and had two sucessful pregnancies. I was only on sulfasalazine at the time and although I was flaring quite a bit, I didn't have a huge amount of diseased colon. Because you...
Thanks! It does appear that my colon is completely clear of any signs of UC at them moment. The report of the rectal ulcer biopsy is quite odd, it states that: "the findings in the rectum are...
I am back if anyone remembers me. Sooo confused. I have new insurance and just had a colonoscopy with a new GI. She took many biopsies and said none of them showed any IBD! But I have had left-sided...
Thank you all. I am glad I am not alone in these feelings. My colon has been on extra good behavior for over a week and right now I am loving it. I figure if things worsen by summertime I will be...
Hi again. I have a very tough case of UC, have had it for 13 years now. The past 4 months have been bad, flares for 5 days a week on average. I would need a colostomy and removal of rectum and anus...
Thank you all soooo much for your kind and wonderful responses. I definitely relate to a lot of things you all said. I appreciate you all taking out time to share and welcome me. Thank you for...
I am the winner, or I guess loser in this case! I have had bleeding since 1995, it got worse around 2004. It is usually every other day or so. In 2004 I found out my UC moved to only in my rectum and...
Hi my name is Adrienne and I have had UC about 13 years technically but have had bowel issues since I was a kid. I have had a very stubborn case which currently is only in the rectum but flaring so...
Aww so sorry to hear you're in need of Prednisone Christie. :( I'll bump this up for you....
What inspirational replies! I am really considering surgery now, I have suffered for 13 years and I have had enough of this. Even this morning I woke up in pain, neauseous, had D and lost lots of...
Hi, I am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I have a very stubborn bad case of Proctitis. Remicade brought me into remission for a while, my 1 inch rectal ulcer went down to 1/4 inch. Then...
