What is sulfa ec?...
Thanks for your reply notsosicklygirl. I take 4 lialda in the AM and Florastor and Forvia vitamins. I guess you would call it mild to moderate symptoms. Tapered down to no more prednisone last...
Thanks for your replies. Dsm4life -- yes I do use the canasa in the AM and retain it all day, but it sure causes gas! As for the Rowase I was taking it before bedtime, but had a lot of trouble...
I am currently taking Lialda, canasa, rowasa (generic Perrigo) and cortifoam. I use the rowasa around 5:30-6PM and then the cortifoam at bedtime. I still have some slight bleeding and D in the AM, so...
What is the new way you are dealing with the enemas? I try every night -- half the time it is leaking ot as soon as I get it in!! Glad to hear you are doing better!...
Will let you know..........
Thanks for your reply. I am hoping the same to be true -- maybe not as severe. I'll check with my GI next week....
You know, I read this and my doc has me on a weekly taper of 8mg, TOO MUCH TOO SOON. I m going to insist she slow me up so I don;t have to go back to square one...
Anyone have this experience.? When I wake up and go I usually have some bleeding -- 1st and 2nd BM. If I go again throughout the day -- no more bleeding. What's up?...
Thanks for your help. I also thought tapering 8m per week was a high taper but the doc didn't thinks so. I think I should taper more slowly.....thanks again...
I Will pray for you.......
Dx with with left sided UC in 2008. Went into a flare around 12/24/10 and doc put me on Medrol 32mg week one and tapering down by 8 mg per week. Had a bit of bleeding first day or two of taper, but...
Doc prescribed cortifoam and it seems to be working really well. Here's the question. She has me on it for 14 days -- what then? Should I be tapering it or should I then switch to Rowasa? I had been...
UC is limited. Yes, just started the canasa and cortisoam which the doc said would help with the taper down...
Anyone have experience with this? Was on 32mg for 7 days and doc now has me dropping to 24mg for another 7 and then 16mg for another 7 days, etc. Noticed a bit of blood today and hoping not to flare...
Thanks everyone for your replies and support. I agree, taking anti-anxiety meds won't help the UC,but for those of us who suffer occasional anxiety and have a strong mind/gut connection it does take...
Anyone find that this may help? When I have a flare I become extremely anxious and am wondering if this might help in remission process? Would love some feedback!! Thanks and Happy Holidays :rolleyes:...
I agree with Stress + UC = Anxiety -- I get stressed, nervous and head right to the bathroom!...
Yes --it's so crazy to try and figure which meds work or make you worse. I think the Canasa and Rowasa may have made my symptoms worse. Although I was having slight bleeding on the Llialda -- it got...
Taking Medrol for flare up along with Perrigo (generic for Rowasa) Canasa and Llialda. Bleeding has increased!! Now it's Christmas Day and I'm stopping the Perrigo and Canasa. Anyone have this...
