When I was on Prednisone I immediately started to feel bloated and constantly hungry. The swollen face started a week or so after being on 30mg a day. But then I also had terrible mood swings, very...
I was on Apriso for about a month and a half and i thought it was helping until I had severe bleeding that seemed to come out of nowhere. My dr. then made the decision to put me on Prenisone for only...
I don't want to scare you but I started out my UC journey by taking Cipro and I absolutely do not suggest it to anyone. This medicine not only gave me C. Difficile infection because it is a general...
Yeah, that is what I was afraid of. The apriso works better for keeping UC patients in remission rather than putting them into remission. After I got off the Pred I thought I would stay in remission...
Thanks for all of your answers. I decided to not go with the foam because of its ridiculous price. I have been on the suppositories for over a week now and they were not helping at all that is why my...
My GI just prescribed me Cortifoam. However, my insurance is not going to cover it and it is almost $300 for retail price for a two week supply (GI wants me on it for 4 weeks so $600 total). I am a...

Thank you all for your advice. I really appreciate it. I will just have to talk to my GI about it more and discuss my options. Songlady - this is not my real name.....I'm not that stupid..this is my...
I actually don't have the c. diff infection anymore. This pain is not related to that. I was taking 4 pills of dicyclomine a day and it had no results. My period is fine, nothing different or weird...
Hello all UC sufferers, I'm new here and have been struggling with UC pain for months now though just recently diagnosed. I am looking for some insight and similar stories as I find it hard to...
I just joined this forum but I have been suffering from UC plus a case of c. diff for the past 5 months and I can tell you that there really is nothing scarier than going to the bathroom and seeing...
