Sucks. My heart goes out to you. I'm not as qualified as most of the posters here, but I will tell you that you've come to the right place. You will get better....
Well, I've found out this week that the coffee really needed to go. I've also eliminated the Diet Cokes which I know have had the same effect on me as the coffee. After spending a few days away from...
All good input. Thank you, Community....
I spoke with my GI yesterday about the fact that the two+ weeks of 40mgs of Prednisone still has left me with painful burning bms and chunks of blood/mucus. We've never discussed Remicade until...
My Pharmacist at Rite Aid said this was an OTC product and sold it to me without a prescription. This is contrary to what I've read on this Board. Did I misunderstand? I've also read here that my...
