The nurse gives you one Zyrtec, but I have always been resistant to sedatives . I have woken up twice while anesthetized for colonoscopies so far. The last time was kind of funny because I kept...
I have been on Remicade for over a year now and always had a problem with some fatigue after my infusion when I was on 5MG/KG, but since moving to 10 it is much worse. On 5 I usually slept about 16...
That sounds marvelous. I figured you would feel it; it's like 5ft long afterall. I guess since the skin and what not are just sort of hanging out on the surface and not a magical floaty orb that...
Thank you for sharing your story, ByeByeUC. I love the name by the way. I am feeling more optimistic. Can I ask you a kind of weird question that I'm sure everyone wonders? What does it feel like...
Thanks for the answer SummerStorm. It's nice to know someone feels the same way I do and understands the decision. I don't want to leave kids in a situation with no mother. I could praise my husband...
My apologies for using the wrong forum. I need to explore the site further, obviously. I know going for the surgery seems extreme, but to be frank I, like Pluot, am sick and tired of being sick and...
A little back story to help. I'm 25 and was diagnosed at age 12. I used to be somewhat controlled by Colazol, but now it does nothing. Lialda was a huge failure, Prednisone puts me into false...

I know I am bumping a really old thread, but I wanted to thank the OP for this. I am facing the Remicade/Imuran/Surgery decision and knowing the statistics for lymphoma with Remicade is one of my big...
Journey2health is right on that one. I didn't have problems with anything, but Prednisone. Prednisone will make you blow up and fast. I had a bad run and was on it a lot in high school I started out...
@Peety All very true. I just didn't know what else to do. I try not to see doctors at all, lol. If I can get away with only seeing my psychiatrist you better bet I will. Between UC and everything...
Thanks for the replies guys. Sorry you are losing your insurance, Beeswax. The insurance situation is a pretty crappy one for people who actually need it. People with good enough jobs to buy the meds...
Hi, Medsport, it seems we are both new here. Just wanted to say hello and express my sympathy for you insurance situation. I've been in that spot and it's an awful awful spot. I wish you the best of...
(Please forgive the weird sense of humor. It's my coping mechanism.) I was browsing around on good old Google looking for information and I happened upon this forum. I was Diagnosed with UC at age...
