Basically what you described but within a couple hours and probably about a 9 or 10 in intensity. Symptoms lasted about 3-4 days this past time before getting back to normal....
GI scheduled a flex sig for this coming Tuesday so we can hopefully find out what's changed. He wants to wait until he gets a look before we do another cdiff test or make any other changes to meds....
I will definitely be asking for changes. I believe last we spoke he said his next course of action if enemas failed would be a scope to see what's changed. I'll ask about another cdiff test in the...
I did take flagyl for about 5 days after getting cdiff tested as a precaution. Unfortunately the antibiotic made me flare so my GI told me to stop it once the results came back negative. I'll...
I have been flaring since about the middle of Dec (which for me is very abnormal). Usually I can stop a flare early on with prednisone and be back in remission within 30 days. The flare has been...
After 3 days and many phone calls I have lost all hope for our planet. Turns out what could have been taken care of in a simple follow through by the pharmacist was the only reason for the issues. My...

Has anyone had issues getting insurance to pay for mesalamine enemas? I have BCBS of IL and have never been rejected a prescription until now. Do they not consider it a medication? I know they get a...
Any input would be helpful! I'm currently taking mercaptopurine 75mg/day and have been for close to 10 years. Life before my current meds was miserable at best so I'm sure you can understand my...
I just went from 50 to 75 about a month ago & had the same thing for a day or two. Never even figured it was from the upped meds but I guess its possible....
I smoke about a pack every three days & have since before I was diagnosed. Have quit for a few months 2 or 3 times since & really didn't notice any longer remission or less pain/blood in flares...
Well I have been on & off a few times. I had the headaches, weight gain, energy loss, & terrible mood swings. Tapering is the key! If your starting to flare when you get to 1/day then you prob need...
Heading to the GI Friday & hoping he doesn't put me back on prednisone. Been on 6mp for about 6 months with better results than anything I have taken to this point but I guess my mythical hopes that...
