Sounds a stupid question, but my partner has had no bleeding for a week. He is still having more bowel movements than 'normal' in the morning and early evening but will he be kept in hospital if the...
Hi quincy, He has to take a drink to 'clear him out' before he goes for the camera. When he told me it was an endoscopy I asked him was he sure as I assumed an endoscopy was down the throat. Nope he...
Its not down the throat, its up the bum. :) He seems fairly upbeat just now and I do think this helps him a lot. Fingers crossed....
Hi guys, Just wondering, is there a difference between the two? My partner had a colonoscopy last year, and is going for an endoscopy this week. He's back on anal steroid foam and is hoping to see...
Hi everyone, My partner is still flaring and had a steroid injection at the hospital this morning. Is this normal? They also think the UC may have spread further up his colon so he's having anither...
He's on 8 pred a day....

Hi everyone, My partner has been given 10 days for the steroids to work and then its back to hospital. There seems to be no improvement. This illness is coming between us /community/emoticons/cry.gif ...

Thanks bootstrap. I'm just trying to be there for him as much as I can. His doctor has put him on different steroids than last time so hes perservering for a few days, and then he's going to get back...
He's got asthma and a peptic ulcer as well. I don't suppose this will help the UC will it? It's all going wrong for him at the moment. The horror stories I've read scare me for him....
When he was first diagnosed last April he was on the foam enemas and the steroids. He came off them pretty soon and tapered the other meds right down to 2 a day up until 2 weeks ago. Now he's back on...
He says he took the foam enema and this morning the bleeding was the worse its ever been. He is on meds and steroids but I'm sorry I don't know their names. He had tapered the meds right down before...
He is on steroids and anal foam....
