Elementary school teacher...I've taught kindergarten (which I loved) and currently teaching 2nd grade (like the age group). Thankfully my uc hasn't been an issue at work yet... :smilewinkgrin:...
Bosco are you only on enemas and no oral meds?...
I think hormones play a role with UC because I was diagnosed 2 weeks after a miscarriage back in April. I started to see blood in my stool and I had never had issues in the past. I am currently...
I used the steroid enemas for about a month and they made things worse. They increased my bleeding and I had night sweats. I was then prescribed rowasa and I noticed improvement right away. :wink:...
Lild, I was first put on hydrocortisone enemas and they didn't help. In fact my bleeding increased. I used them for a month with no relief. I asked the doctor for rowasa enemas and those helped me...
Hey Lild, I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I really hope that the rectal meds help you. They reallyyyyyyy helped me even though it took about 3 weeks to stop the bleeding, but I noticed an...

Yes, Apriso is my oral and rowasa is my rectal. I'm not sure if they have the same side effect but I assume they do since they are both mesalamine. But I think rowasa has less side effects since it...
Never have. That's wierd. I'm sure you can still use them. I use the generic version though....
I'm on Rowasa and Apriso and I'm losing hair but I also see hair that is regrowing. As long as I'm not suffering with UC/go bold ;) i guess I'm okay with it. I will stay on Rowasa as a maintenance...
