I am feeling great, thanks!! I've been in remission for almost a year now *yay* Now I am just trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up! :) Hahaha How's eveyone doing?...
It's been a couple of years since I've been on here so probably only a few will remember me. BUT ... just wanted to stop in and say hello :) I'll be back to visit - I actually wanted to check out...
Thanks so much for your replies. I know sometimes it's tough to hear the truth but that is what I would rather hear no matter what. I am getting by, day by day it seems just a tiny bit easier. I...
Hi everyone, I hope I can share this forum with you all. I haven’t posted anything recently, but I am from the Ulcerative Colitis corner of the world. There was a time that I was extremely sick and...
Thanks Quincy - I do :) I actually went to the BP board here as well (for him), and he made a doctor's appointment to possibly change his meds. I know with his mental state it can be hard for him to...
I'm not sure when my insurance kicks in - hopefully soon!! Those people can be really slow. I'm probably going to have to start my Remicade treatments all over again due to such a large lapse....
LOL Quincy! Addiction to perfection! I only wish I had that!! Adam, I don't think your drinking is a 'problem' so to speak. Only if it's hurting you. That's what I figure when I drink (it's probably...
I take clonopin 2mg and it works really well. I also just took some benadryl (didn't take the clonopin - didn't mix), so I'll let you know in about an hour :)...
Well whatever you do write them down because you'll probably forget you ever asked them in the first place thanks to the drugs! I once asked my botfriend about 17 times if we could have pizza after...
It's probably because you're so scared and you're having pain. I've had this since I was 15 and I still get freaked out when I get sick. Sometimes when I sit on the toilet I anticipate so much pain...
Hi everyone, I usually post on the UC board, and decided to introduce myself here because my fiance was diagnosed with BP right around the time we met (aout 6 months ago), and started taking meds...
The only problem is, I don't have insurance yet, and I remember one of those being VERY expensive. I'm tapering off the pred, seems like there's less blood so hopefully I'm better soon **crossed...
Thanks everyone. I was married before (we split up for different reasons, nothing really to do with my UC), this is a new guy. Today I just sat around and watched TV, haven't even showered or brushed...
I took Remicade after my last stint in he hospital and it worked, I was home after about 3 days. Now because of inurance problems i am on pred but also didn't want to be on Remicade because I want...
I do that sometimes - not in a severe flare just because I can't, but I drink to excess, and my family gets mad. Yes, it leads to not feeling so good the next day, but I know it's not the UC....
OK so it's after 1 am my time. No need to go in to all the crap that my relationship has to offer (and don't take that the wrong way - he's a truly great guy in so may ways), he's bipolar himself,...
Quincy - I'm about to email my doctor and ask for that. I'm tapering off anyway. I just can't take it. I am in such a horible state of depression right now I honestly don't know what else to do....
Yeah - the pharmacist at my work is BETOND weird. I don't know why I even talk to her. Coincidentally, I used to stud to be a pharmacist, so I want to wring her neck when I hear about some od her...
Oh God! Elephant your story made me almost pee my pants! Thank you so much everyone for your input - I didn't an update email so I thought no one answered me and I was sad :( Well I work in a brand...
I have a question ..... I'm taking 40mg of Prednisone. The pharmacist where I work is a little weird to me. I seem to be reeeally down at times, but not always. I've been on it about 2 weeks. I...
Oh thanks so much everyone! Well I went to the Dr.'s today (my family dr.) and got pain meds, and am still waiting for m GO to return my message from Monday. M meds list is updated now! Just going to...
Whooo that medicine list is outdated - gonna hafta change that ........
Hi Everyone, None of you may know me anymore because I haven't been on in a while, I have successfully been being treated with Remicade for about 2 1/2 years with no relapses whatsoever. But, I met a...
Wow you guys thanks so much for all the info. I took a look at the SCD diet - WOW. Does anyone here follow it? Does it really help? It had been so long since a flare (save the one I had a couple...
Hi all, Well the last post I posted regarding diarrhea with no blood soon turned into blood, resulting in 2 trips to the ER and then a stay where thankfully I got a Remicade infusion. They would not...
Hi all, It is 3:20 am here and I just finished a horrible round of explosive diarrhea for about the 10th day in a row. There is NO blood. It hurts just as bad if not worse than when I have colitis...
Hey guys! Thanks for the replies. Checked in late today since I had to work :( I got to lower my dose a bit, I think I am going to taper off a bit faster than the doctor wants me to, but I just can't...
Hi All! It has been so long. I don't even recognize the names here! I was here a few years (I think) back, and so much has happened - I am going thru a flare right now, and I came back on mostly for...
