I found this so hopeful. Thanks for sharing. :) * I am someone willing to try anything to gain remission once again*...
I think it would be really nice for us to have a picture of ourselves in our signature. It would help be able to put a face with a name when using this forum as support. I think that would be a great...
I will be starting remicade in two weeks. . . My doctor told me that I will still be on my 6mp with the remicade. I was under the impression I would be able to go off my other medication. Did anyone...
Thanks again! I just started flaring again because I was in remission with the 6mp/allopurinol combination for almost a year. I have always been on asacol HD and I take align probiotic. My doctor...
Hi All, I am going to Disney World in a few weeks with my family (2 year old and 5 year old) and am now flaring again with UC. I just have bad cramps and have to use the bathroom a lot. Any advice on...
How long did remicade work for you? Are you happy with your decision to go on it? Any side effects from it? I will be starting this medication soon and would like to know your opinion on this drug....
I just received a call from my doctor saying that she now wants me to get the HEP A and B vaccine. That makes me a little nervous since the last time I got a vaccine was when I was an infant. Has...
Thank you for your response. I don't see a hematologist but maybe I should. I have been on it for a month and it worked right away for me....
I just wanted to let you know that I am taking 6mp with allopurinol and it is working great! I think you were the one that told me about it and I am so happy with it! My doctor told me that these...
Does anyone one have insurance that doesn't cover Remicade? I think I might be forced to go on humira. . ....
Thanks all. I will take the tylenol. I still have not been able to keep anything down all day. I appreciate all of your replies....
Yes, I spoke with doctor on call which wasn't my doctor. He said that it doesn't think it is my colitis. I have never had this problem with my UC though and I have had UC for 8 years. I have a...
Thanks so much for all of your great replies. I will try some of them. :)...
Hello All, Recently on February 14th I just started new medication which includes 6mp and allopurinol ( 50 mg ) each. My husband and my oldest daughter were sick this week with a stomach bug. It...
What do you do in your daily life to get rid of stress? Life seems so busy and it is so hard to not get stressed over stupid things. . . What do you do? Thanks in advance. :)...
Thank you!!! :)...
Can anyone offer me any words of wisdom? It looks like 6mp has stopped working. sigh :(...
I hope uceris isn't like entocort. I am currently taking entocort now and I don't have good results from it. It is actually making me feel worse. . . :(...
You will feel great on prednisone. It brought me instantly into remission the day I took my first dose. I am currently on entocort and it is nothing like prednisone. i am actually calling my doctor...
Oh it is entocort oral. I am not currently on any thing else other than the pills....
I should probably explain myself a little better. I was diagnosed when I was 25. At that time they put me on asacol. I have tried just about everything else except Remicade and Humira. I was in...
Has anyone here ever been on Entocort? Has it helped? I just started it on Thursday along with Asacol, 6mp and allopurinol and it hasn't seemed to be working quite yet. . . I am thinking I may have...
How come you aren't able to just go on 6mp? I was recently on 6mp and worked for me for 5 years but then my liver enzymes went up. Now my doctor is putting me on allopurinol with 6mp in order to get...
Thanks so much for posting. I am so happy that it worked for you and that you were able to discontinue the other medication. You made me feel so much better about taking this. Thanks :)...
Thank you for the reply. Yes, it is given because I was not able to reach the therapeutic range without my liver enzymes going up. I am trying this before I start Remicade. I will have to have my...
Thanks for your reply. It doesn't seem like it is used a lot which makes me very nervous....
Has anyone here ever tried 6mp with allpurinol? Did it work? I am going to try this and then it is on to Remicade. Any advice is appreciated....
If 6mp stops working for you will your doctor try to put you on Imuran? I know they are just about the same thing but may work differently? Any thoughts?...
I am new to this forum and just wanted to ask all of you how many of you were on Humira and what you know about this drug? I think I might be starting this drug this week. :( I have had UC since 2005...
