Yes i know thats how it looks, been pretty hard convincing otherwise, when i took it i would break out in a rash my hair was failing out worse, had convolutions, tremors and twitches (again could of...
Rage- Urg, they do sound scary, but i am desperate, so i'll see how things go. I was thinking about rectal meds, suppose the only one i'll try again is cortifoam although i'm not to sure if it will...
Long time no see, i hope everyone is doing well :) Anyway to cut long story short, i finally got off those blasted steroids then i felt i was getting ill again, this was of course caused by the...
Oh my gosh guys! I'm having an allergic reaction to the omeprazole, it's not anxiety! I'm so sorry for scaring everyone, it's not the seteroids after all. The bad thing is I only just realised and...
I am not tapering too fast, I've started 25, just wondering for how long, but yes I know I have to see my dr. Pred is not working for me anyway, it's becoming less effective I've notice even at the...
So we all know I've been on pred since March and this constant dose of 30mg for about 2 months. This has deteriorated my body so much (both mentally and physically) that I was in a&e since Thursday...
Oh my gosh, now that I think about it, mine are yellow quite often :o I just thought it was the mezavant turning it that colour, but I do get normal coloured too so, I'm not to sure anymore...I did...
If I'm honest, it does sound like it loosing its effectiveness. I'm kinda having the same kinda problem. If you're not staying in remission you should get seen. Although, is is something you ate or...
Before I was diagnosed and heathy I was 125lb and when I got ill, it dropped to about 112-115lb. When I eventually started to get better i stuck to 115lb, but then recently things haven't been going...
Superblanks, that sounds horrible, I'm so sorry you had to go through that :( Ooh I'm glad there getting better. Think I got way to worked up about it, now starting to think it is a side affect from...
kazbern, well yeah thats what i thought. Well i guess i'll try, but it's the weekend so i can't do anything anyway. Another question, i have incredible bad aches and pains, couldn't sleep because of...
kazbern, i don't know, i've not been given that option yet, as i had to switch to the nhs i won't be able to get a gi appointment for like weeks. But i'll ring up and see about it on monday. Would...
Thanks ItsAlwaysSomething, i'll think that through, think i'll stick to the calcium seeing as i don't have to take the other for another week. Yes, i do agree with that now after reading many post...
sherbear46, Ah, thanks for the insight, not looking forward to this......
So of course i've been on pred at 30mg constant for about just over a month (was trying to get through exam period without any problems, but that backfired), however i have found my symptoms...
Like i mentioned in the other post, i used it for a few weeks while I was in my first flare and it didn't do anything (before i knew it was uc), so I've not used it since. Not too sure if it would...
I used it before I was diagnosed when the doctors were adamant that I had food poisoning, but of course didn't find it was doing anything so i stopped, just turned everything dark aha. Although I was...
Ooh okay thats what I wanted to know, if there was another foam, so I will go back and ask.Thanks for all the help, i really do appreciate it, as I know I'm a pain bombarding everyone with so many...
Ooh okay that makes sense :) Althoufgh I have yet another concern, so my dr prescribed me predfoam, however this is discontinued in the UK. So when I went to the pharmacy they gave me prednisolone...
Ooh okay sounds reassuring thanks for the help, still not tried it yet may wait till the weekend because I have stuff to do in the morning for the next few day aha. Although, the first time I had one...
Sorry to hijack your thread but i have a question. Just got prescribed predfoam and i'm wondering if you have to leave it in over night, does in not "leak" out and does is stay in? Sorry if it's a...
@kazbern Ooh yes i do think so too. Will ask about the rectal mesalamine at my follow up in a few weeks. Aha yes, i've let it sink in now and i need to be positive. The possibility of uni is still...
Ooh i just got prescribed predfoam and was anxious about all the steroids but embersglow1 and Marauder93 told me on my own topic that they should be fine. Defiantly agree with you, pred sucks can't...
@embersglow1 Ooh is that true? Thanks i was just getting scared with all the steroids, thats put me at ease, thank you very much. The gp told me to stay on 30mg pred (cry) while having a trial week...
So I went to track down the enemas and turns out that the pharmacy couldn't get hold of them, don't know why they never told me this, but anyway had to track it down. It's predfoam enemas and I'm not...
@poopie I'm still not too sure on the Imodium, my GI was strongly against it and some stuff I was reading online makes me a bit anxious :/ so I probably won't, just really scared that I'll be too ill...
Okay, got another problem... Starting to feel ill again and going to the bathroom has increased, suppose to sit a 2 hour exam tomorrow morning, but now i don't think i can make it :( Will imodium do...
Thanks Marauder93 for that explanation, although they sound kinda scary too. I think i'm suppose to get a rectal med, beginning with p? So i'll try again on monday to see if i can get it....
Oooh okay, i thought so thanks for explaining that to me. I am currently on mezavant and i think the max dosage, and there is something else i need to get, but due to the miscommunication errors...
Anyway, i'm not too sure if anyone remembers me but i have a question, which may seem simple, but hey i'm a newbie. I had to go back up to 30mg of pred for the second time because every time i come...
Oh no guys, i think i relapsed again! Everything is going straight through me, and also after i had to run to the toilet and went back up stairs, i felt dizzy and lightheaded and almost passed out....
I was over there for about 2 and a half weeks :). I was completely fine for about a month, ate something bad yesterday and darn it had a bad day D: And now my stomach hurts, which is a bad sign,...
Hiya guys, sorry for going dead silent :). Anyway the flight wasn't too bad at all, didn't have to run to the toilet or anything (hooray!) although it was uncomfortable, i was okay with the...
kazbern- Aah right, unfortunately i have to get my gp to sign it of because of the price :( So it looks like i'll be waiting for the morning and thanks, i'll go take a look now...
kazbern- Yes, i think it might of been that...
Just got back from the my appointment, it's a no go for the immodium, but i have to go back up to 30mg of steroids and was given a prescription for something else, but i can't remember what exactly x)...
Stef17- Ooh thank you for your advice. I'll defiantly have to pack a go-to bag with all kinds of things. And thanks again everyone for the support, i really appreciate it :) Just a general question...
Thank you Katmom, i think i'm pretty sure i don't have an infection, but thanks i'll take that advice :) Thank you, thats reassuring :)...
Just reading up on some previous posts about immodium, and it does seem to be a good idea, I'll probably go out and get some then, just in case....
BabeintheWoods- i was thinking about that also, suppose it's another question to ask the dr...
Thanks DBwithUC, although i don't know how i like the sound of a diaper and double underwear, but hey ho. kazbern- Thanks for the advice, will ask about that tonight. Aah thanks, thats what i was...
I was just recently diagnosed with colitis on the 6th after 3 months of hell. Started with 30mg of pred now on 20mg and i'm also on mezavant. My question is, how on earth do you live with this? it's...
