Two days ago I went to my follow up appointment after last month's colonoscopy. My doctor tells me he has good news to report. I was thinking, "Great! I can stick with Lialda!". Since my condition...
Yesterday's colonoscopy went well, no polyps but the usual scar tissue. What's got me lagging is the back pain that started early this evening and has progressively gotten worse. I've had chest/back...
Wow. This morning's batch #2 isn't half as bad as last night! :) Soon I'll be knocked out without a care in the world lol...
Thank you, YankeeKat. Just woke from a nap after the first batch that I started at 6pm. Misery. Absolute misery. Who was I kidding thinking that a good attitude and sense of humour would get me...
Oh these anwers are great! Good to know it's not just me that obsesses about food the day prior lol. I'm usually out like a light during the entire thing. I woke up once, but only momentarily. I kind...
Never had to suffer through the prep that this is about but if you haven't stumbled across it you absolutely must read. As I've mentioned, I'll be starting movi-prep in six hours and some comedy is...
Bump for the article! Oh this gave me the laugh I needed today!...
Yep this evening I'll be gaggin down the movi prep. There are only two things going through my mind right now- Ewww and I'm so hungry lol. I've already started narrowing down all of the awesome meal...
I was diagnosed with endomitriosis in 2003 and some of the terms and explinations are still very foreign to me. The only light I can shed on this is that when they refer to my condition they speak of...
I started taking Zoloft in May of this year. That's when veritgo started with me. Though I'm tapering off now, it still hits me hard sometimes. Water is, hands down, my favorite drink so I'm sure I...
Is it a burning sensation? If so it's likely UTI or bladder infection. I have very dull, very painful sensations during urination but it's due to endomitriosis and not the UC. Whenever I feel that...
Agreed, the small victories keep us goin! I too was very active before UC caught up with me. Radiology school, yoga, I was a gymnastics instructor, snowboarder, loved to hike and fish and ran four...
Thank you for the well wishes and calming techniques. They've begun to list the names of the deceased and wounded though I still haven't heard from all of my buddies. The breathing/calming technique...
Mornings are rough for me as well. The first thing I do is pop a pain pill and head to the bathroom. Lately I've been averaging four hours of sleep because of arthritis and a suspected ovarian cyst....
Got my pre op in fifteen minutes. Of course I'm not supposed to be stressing out EVER as it'd likely trigger a flare. Certainly trying to keep stress levels low before Tuesdays colonoscopy. Then...
How much vitamin B12 complex are you taking? Right now I'm taking a Super B-Complex, I guess I grabbed a different one without noticing! I take one a day. Is the vertigo when your head is tilted a...
Just saw the other topic with the same link, oops! I got excited and posted right away lol....

/community/emoticons/shakehead.gif /community/emoticons/shakehead.gif /community/emoticons/shakehead.gif I haven't visited here in some time due to my crazy schedule. Life is hectic right now....
Early in the year I went on vacation, four hours out of town. I only planned to be gone for a long weekend but I was given the opportunity to extend my trip. Making sure I had enough meds was the...
There was a brief, sweet period of time when I was symptom free. I jumped at the opportunity to get back to work. I landed a dream job as a gymnastics instructor. I was loving being able to get back...
*Fair warning* This will be longish. Some one very close to me claimed that I use my health as a crutch, because I choose to sleep in between 530-11am. I work nights. This year has been the first...
First time posting on Fibromyalgia forum, I usually stick to the Ulverative Colitis area but this subject has been on my mind a lot this year. I only just thought to bring up the possibility of Fibro...
Thanks for the info! I noticed most of the facts I found using internet searches were indeed for chemo patients so it's a bit confusing. Doc says we'll try the 6mp and yup you guessed it, if that...
Unless I felt it were life and death, I wouldn't change up medications without consulting my doctor but circumstances are difficult. I cannot get them for two days :( I'm considering calling my...
If I recall correctly, some of youse guys have been prescribed Zoloft. I'm going through some family troubles and haven't been able to access my Zoloft for two days. Three weeks ago I forgot to take...
I'm glad somebody asked about 6 mp! I'm on "vacation" and don't have many opportunities to do much research. Doc says after the colonoscopy in August, he may want to switch treatments. 6 mp was...
I've been taking Zoloft (100mg) about a month now. The side effects, at first, were awful but I have adjusted and now they aren't so bad. I was prescribed Flovent as an emergancy fast acting inhaler...
As the topic states, I am a new member to Healingwell.com but I have been lurking about for some time now, trying to decide if I feel comfortable joining a "support group". After reading the wealth...
