Yes, I know being fatigued is a symptom of UC...I am sure even if I was eating enough, I would still be exhausted. I have tried eating small meals, but I am so ridiculously nauseous that I want to...
I have been going through a flare for the past year and each day that passes I seem to get worse. I have been hospitalized about a month ago, felt a little better afterwards but that was short lived....
JohnPhx, I do agree with you. I have anxiety issues I've had my whole life and my UC came about right after having my daughter...talk about a stressful time in your life! The worse my symptoms get,...
I haven't been able to get control of my UC with any drug since being diagnosed in Feb. It should literally be any day now for the humira, I am waiting for the pharmacy to call me and set up a time...
I was just hospitalized for the UC flare I am going through. While I was in the hospital, I received four blood transfusions, IV fluids and a potassium drip, they wanted to give me IV steroids but I...
Sorry, I also am taking a probiotic, a supplement with greens in it, sage for the bleeding, and Intestinal Soothe all from Natures Sunshine. I went and saw a naturepath/nutritionist over a week ago...
I haven't written a signature because my meds and situation has changed so much. With all the Mesa drugs, in about a day or two of starting them I get really bad pain, worsening blood and increased...
I was taking 40mg Pred, started about 4months ago for a flare (I've actually had no remission since diagnosis in Feb 2013), saw absolutely no improvement, tried other meds with it, to which I found I...
Thanks guys for the suggestions and kind words...I've heard good things about the VSL #3, but honestly I'm scared to try it! My dr gave me align to try and all I've noticed is horrendous bloating and...
NiceCupofTea, yes that does help me, thank you for the kind words. I guess what I was hoping to get out of a forum is just some information, hoping to try and make my own desicions as far as this UC...
I agree with the Pred, so frustrating to be on it so long and not see any kind of results, I'll start the taper. I actually am supposed to call my GI tomorrow and tell him how the uceris is going, I...
Well right now it isn't much, I'm so nauseated and in pain most of the time :( I'm eating chicken noodle soup, scrambled eggs, toast with butter, occasionally some honey Greek yogurt from trader...
My sister is on Lialda and Azathioprine, was hospitalized at first when they found out what was going on, but has been doing fantastic ever since. The doc I'm seeing now is actually my second one,...
First colonoscopy wasn't difinitive, my doc said it was UC and mostly based it on my sister having it as well. When things got worse, I had a flex sig done in May and was confirmed UC up the left...
Hello, I've posted a few things lately as I have been going through my first "flare" if you will...I was diagnosed this past Feb and have yet to see a "normal" day since, seems to be getting worse by...
I have been going through a horrible time with my UC over the past 3 weeks and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight...gets worse each day. My concern right now is this constant throbbing pain...
Q, when I had my colonoscopy in Feb he said it was just ulcerative proctitis...then I had a flex sig done in May and he said it was up my left side about 25in? So I guess perhaps things had gotten...
My husband seems to think what the dr says makes sense...but, if taking it orally, how is it not systemic? I'm gonna give it a go, if I'm gonna react, I usually do within a day or two, it's pretty...
No, not yet. He wants to try the enemas first I think. He didn't mention any other kind of medication yesterday. Also, I just don't understand why I'm in so much pain right now? Its just getting...
The oral meds make my symptoms worse times a million. I get worsening blood, D and cramping, quite painful. I've already missed a week of work, I'm supposed to pick them up today and start tonight,...
I'm in the middle of a terrible flare, was just diagnosed with UC this past Feb. 2013, we're having a hard time getting it under control. Saw a new Dr today, he has put me on Rowasa enemas, but I...
I agree about the diet. I actually tried the SCD diet for almost a month, but I ended up failing and essentially gave up because I saw no improvment. I was taking probiotics, digestive enzymes, multi...
I feel like I have read that you shouldn't take the sulfasalazine if you've had a reaction to the mesalamine, but I thought that my Dr would have known this, thus not prescribing something I am gonna...
I am wondering, is there such a thing as being resistant to all medications for UC? I was diagnosed this past Feb, I cannot take any meds with mesalamine, I get horrible pain and worsening symptoms....
Princesa, sorry it's taken so long to get back, I have not been well. I am on 40mg Pred once daily...I started Lialda last Thurs in the hopes that I would not react to the mesalamine like I had...
Thank you guys for the suggestions. I have actually already tried the steroid suppositories, the dr actually put me on them first, they didn't help at all either :( I'm wondering about getting a...
I have been on the prednisone for about 5 weeks now, it has not done a thing at all to help. I saw my GI about 3 weeks ago for a sigmoidoscopy due to my flare being worse than when I was just...
Hello everyone, I am currently in the middle of a bad flare with my UC, getting fed up with my meds not working and things getting worse all the time! I am currently on 40mg/day Prednisone and I have...
