I'm so glad you posted this: I started prednisone, 100 mg QD in September. (Before that, it was 60 mg a day for 2-3 weeks per month since March.) I'm down to 15 mg a day *hooray!* and also feel...
I can't say enough that if the headache is a migraine, trying a decongestant won't hurt (unless you know it will). Migraines are vascular headaches, caused by an enlarged blood vessel pressing on a...
I think you could be partly right, notsosicklygirl, as the arthritis has definitely gotten worse lately, but I've had it for over a year, so...yeah. I have an appt with a new GI in Westchester Cty in...
I would love to hear your story! Any encouragement is welcome, and becoming asymptomatic would be a dream come true!...
Has anyone had to deal with the arthritis of UC and been unable to take any NSAIDS? I'm in a flare, and the bleeding is pretty bad, but so is the arthritis, especially in my back, which makes it...
Most drug manufacturers have patient assistance programs. If you fall into their income guidelines, they'll mail the meds to your doc either free of charge or at a substantially reduced rate. Google...
WingZero, your response sounds a bit like a vasovagal response. If the vagus nerve is triggered, you can have those kinds of symptoms. I just thought you might like to look into it...sorry about your...

Just had to say- WHAT a beautiful baby girl!!! So happy for you. My husband and I have a son and 5 daughters, but our oldest "baby girl"is 30, and our youngest is almost 17. I remember the days when...
Thank you for titling the post! My brain is shot! lol Right now, for the UC, I'm also taking 14 .375mg Apriso caps, and a good probiotic. And of course, Diflucan for the thrush that develops due to...
Omigosh, I just had to express my sympathy! You poor thing- that's a l-o-n-g flare! I've been flaring since March, and I'm going to stop feeling sorry for myself immediately. I wish I had some...
Hi, y'all- I've been a lurker for a while, and have been blessed by all your info and suggestions, so...thank you v-e-r-y much!! I've been on prednisone since April, and can't take it any more!!...
