I am on Humira for the simple fact that my doctor wanted to try it before remicade in hopes that it would work. He said remicade works great but when it stops there is usually little else (currently...
I have had UC since 2000. Up until last summer, I had had some pain but nothing like my latest flare. I was hospitalized in Sept. 2013 for a week. On prednisone and other drugs. Most of Oct. I was on...
Congrats! I was on Lialda all during my second pregnancy. No problems at all. I had an elective c section (first was c section also) she was born one week before her due date and weighed 8lbs 9oz and...
I'm glad to hear you were seen again. If the 30mg doesn't help make sure you go back, as it may need to be increased. Just keep fighting for yourself to be seen and get this flare under control....
From my experience, you need to be seen by someone before 3 weeks. The flare will just get worse and harder to control. I would call your GI and see if they can squeeze you in, if not go to your...
I always have that happen when I'm starting a flare. Usually I can tell the flare is starting then in a couple of days, I can't eat much. I don't know if that helps you at all....
Scum, glad to hear you haven't had any reactions. Have you seen any improvement?...
Scum, sounds like we are in the same boat. How long has your flare been here? Mine really started getting going the end of Aug. Here's hoping to humira!...
Thanks. I'm also down to 30mg prednisone, 3 Imuran, 4 Lialda, 50mg zoloft, and probiotic. Also right now round the clock percocet for the abdominal pain....
I get my first dose Fri at 2:45. I can't wait and also a bit nervous. Hope it helps us out of these flares!...
Update: All tests came back negative. My Sed rate is now 62. I just found out my insurance denied the Simponi (must try Humira first). So the Dr. is working on getting Humira by the end of the week....
I'm taking VSL#3 probiotics. Bentyl helps take the edge off a bit. Yeah, maybe constipated is the wrong term. Just feels like it I guess. In Er now, Sed rate came back in the 60s. Gonna see how tests...
Babe in the woods I forgot to mention those, I do take them. Not sure if they do much for me, but can't hurt, so I take them....
Sherry, we discussed humara, which I wanted before remicade. (I just don't want to use my remicade card yet since it only works once. I feel like my uc is not to that point yet.) We decided simponi...
Hi, I've had UC for 13 yrs. I can usually get my flares under control with flagyl. This flare is different.To make a long story short. I ended up in the hospital for 4 days in mid Sept. I left...
