Never noticed increase in sensitivity. I don't over expose myself all day with it but I welcome it in the spring. Seems to be great mood lifter along with natural D you get out of it. That being said...
Don't think it will help the loose stool. May just slow things up. I usually only use it when vacationing, trips, long car rides etc. For those it doesn't work for you should try upping the dose....
Gave them a fair chance. Stopped cold turkey, lol....
That's the way a lot of topics are though. I find myself middle ground on many many things. People want to label you though, you are either pro or anti... It's hard for them to imagine anything else....
Someone's doc recently had them take 2 Uceris a day but I can't find that thread for the life of me. Read through so many of these....
Only thing I am a little scared about is the course of action. Going back on pred at beginning, with a taper off after a month or so on it. Uceris bumped my weight up almost 20 lbs to 178. Was on it...
GI visit yesterday. Discussed the past year. Stopping the 250 mg AZA and Humira. Moving on to Entyvio. Kinda neutral on it feeling wise. Guess I am saving the excitement part for when I see something...
Its been over 20 hours since I took it and I have only gone once @ about 6am. I should be up to about 10-15 times by now. Is this reason to be alarmed? I'm debating on weather I should notify my...
I did WHAT? BTW, I use hydrocort enemas daily....
Welcome to the club! Pull up a chair, just give me a heads up if your gonna be in the bathroom to long. I'll take a xanax, lol....
My rear just tightened up seeing the post topic, lol....
I remember my very first one back in 97. I got to watch it on video screen while being done....
A lot of these meds depend on the coating to get them to the colon so having to squash them up would be tough. I have never had a med I could open or chew. I have opened some up and mixed them in...
On 250mg day. UC in general also makes you fatigued after so many years. Really won't know the effects of the AZA till you take it....
3, 5, 6 I just hit 40. That's pretty awesome. Just the mention of a trip sends my mind into a whirl, lol....
Just need the "Next Thing". Not as effective as Remi was. Using it weekly. I sleep through the nights, so I am not miserable. Thinking more and more of surgery. Kids asked me last night when I was...
Bentyl isn't suppose to be pain reliever. Of course you are going to be in pain....
Dr. Goldberg is a complete rear end. Never liked him, tried a few things he talked about when I took his gastroenterology class with no success....
Congrats!!!!...
Lets see. This crap started in 1997'ish. Do the math. Would love to be one of those that had flares on and off....
1. Yes. Hopefully you can get of the steroids though when it kicks in for you. That's the purpose of a biologic. To get you better so you don't need that type of drug. 2. Yes. You don't need...
Never heard of nor experienced. I personally wouldn't attribute it to the patches. No reason for them to make water come out your butt. I went straight to the 21mg patches after doing lozenges for a...
I just pulled out the WOO to help with the Bronchitis portion of it....
I am on day 6. Kids are also the culprit. Wife has went unscathed. Me not so much. Probably would have not got it if not on the imuran. Day 1 uncontrollable chills, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, massive...
Congrats, would love to go back and do this in beginning,...
chug chug chug. Better slap yourself in the face a few times and get psyched out. lol Done it lots of times. Chill it first....
Good trip overall. No issue with sudden urges. Lots of immodium and lomitil assured me a good trip, lol. I think I'll get a proper script for xanax for any future trips. Seemed to help. Just hope...
I went straight to 1 shot a week after 1 month of it not working. Didn't expect it to as nothing works in the regular dosage for me. The one every two weeks was for the birds. I really need 2 shots...
Yeah, I hated the feeling but also cringed at the thought of taking anything else to counter it so I just ride the pred taper out. Depresses the heck out of me when it's leaving the body. Thankfully...
Glad it works. I'd just take my kids or spouse feces and use those in enema instead though. Free and will contain more bacteria than anything you can find out there....
Don't think you are referring to our members being bozos because I see no reason for that in these responses. I am not sure what the guy is even asking. Really not given any specifics. If he is in...
Day 2, close to same routine. 4-5 BM's followed up by the 1/2 cortenema immodium/lomitil/xanax and eventually out the door. No hurry getting out into the park. Wife knows mornings are worse for me...
I would try and start aza before starting any kind of taper. Even if at a low dose. Really doesn't make sense not to. If you have never tried it then why in the world would someone just expect you to...
Pretty easy day 1. Several BM's this morning. Started off day with an immodium + 1/2 cortenema couple hours before leaving room then 2 lomitil an hour after that and a 5 mg xanax. Followed it by 1...
Scored a script for the Lomitil and also a few xanax for pre-flight, got a full hydrocort enema in last night and this morning. Able to get two full ones in last two days. Took an extra Humira shot...
Asking the mother-in-law for a xanax. Never tried it but may help. Calling doc tomorrow to get some Lomitil, if not extra bottle immodium. Double up and do an extra Humira shot this week and throw...
Ah, how to react when your birthday gift is a 3 day trip to Orlando that leaves in two days......... Should be really excited but instead just anxious/worried...... you guys know the drill....
Humira pretty easy. I just poke it in the gut and go. Few times I poked it into a leg muscles hurt. Lesson learned, lol....
Maybe a 25% drop was too much. I'd kick it up to 35mg and go from there. Actually if I was going on vacation I would probably not change from 40mg till I got back.... but that's just me....
Yeah, surgery scary, but after years of fighting I welcome it when it comes....
As long as you eat it with friends....
Yeah, I'll add my no in. Enough to worry about with this disease without making new things up....
You ever poked a hole in those probiotics and tasted what squirts out colitis91895? lol...
Used it for 4 years or so while liiving in Atlanta. Lomitil got me through my last 4 years of school. It's the equivalent of a stronger immodium. You will get a dry mouth when using, and if you take...
Would all depend on rowasa ingredients. Not sure how viable the bacteria would stay in the solution. That would be first thing I would research. I know I used some different probiotics in straight up...
Wow, never heard of that. I could imagine this would impact the teen years pretty drastically....
Prednisone scars on the skin? From being on it twice in 4 years? No clue what you are talking about sorry. Did it give you horrible back acne or something?...
Equivalent to pouring water over your head to put out a fire on your toe. Same water, same amount.... just more effective if you actually pour it on your toe instead....
You try the foot yet?...
It's like having the dry heaves out the wrong end....
