Good to know that it does help still. Thanks!...
They expired late 2019....
I am in a flare and hoped it would settle down but it's not. I have a bunch of canassa suppositories my GI gave me but they are expired. Are they still safe to use?...
That's encouraging! Thank you!...
Thank you. I will check out the study. Old hat, I am trying to just take it one day at a time. I see a glaucoma spiecialist on Friday so I hope to have some answers....
Has anyone been diagnosed with glaucoma and do you feel it was related to your UC? I was diagnosed with it on Monday and I am still in a bit of shock. I am not on steroids' but I have read there can...
Thank you both. I emailed my doctor and told him my worries. Hopefully he will redo the scope sooner....
I got my results today from my September colonoscopy. Three of the polyps were HYPERPLASTIC POLYPS, which from what I read, are harmless. But one was a TUBULAR ADENOMA which is precancerous. I am...
The last time I did the gallon prep it made me sick and I started vomitting....
Yes, they did give me a list and I thought I followed it, but in retrospect, I think the bone broth was not clear enough. It was a dark broth and was probably not good for before. That's definitely...
I will definitely do things differently next time! I plan to start the prep earlier for sure and will probably do extra of the miralax....
When I got there for the scope I still wasn't cleared out. They gave me the choice to either reschedule or do an enema. I did the enema but he said it wasn't clear enough. He was able to do the scope...
I am scheduled for a colonoscopy at 8 am tomorrow. The prep had me on a clear liquid diet after 8 am yesterday and all today. I had toast with PB and a banana yesterday at 7 am and nothing solid...
I had an ablation in 2014 due to SVT episodes that had gone on for years. They got to the point that I'd black out when they happened. I have been symptom free since then and haven't seen my...
Thanks for the reply! I plan to get a blood sugar monitor and start testing myself to keep an eye on it. I will aslop start keeping a food log. I appreciate the help!...
I am not diabetic but I had my blood glucose level (complete metabolic panel) done early Saturday morning in the ER after fainting due to the flu. Beforehand I had not eaten and only drank about 3/4...
Thank you for thge information! I see my doctor soon so I am going to ask about switching to a generic....
I don't have insurance and the $525/ month for Apriiso is really hurting our budget. I'd like to try ordering from Canada and save some money but I have no idea how to go about doing that?...
Could it be this? [/url]https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/317254.php...
Thanks for the info! It doesn't sound quite what I am dealing with but who knows. I need to schedule an appointment with my GI soon. I'm sorry you are dealing with that kind of pain. Its very...
I wanted to update that my half marathon was Saturday and it went great! No issues during the race but the pain right after was intense. However, by the next day there was no more rectal pain! I'm...
Thank you for the replies. It doesn't hurt more to sit or bend etc but standing makes it ache the most. After a run I have to keep sitting or it hurts. I can't see anything abnormal when I look other...
I don't have any urgency, mucus, blood etc but I am experiencing rectal pain and pressure. The area aches all the time and it's pretty uncomfortable. If I do need to use the bathroom or just gas, I...
My signature is pretty up to date. GI didn't seem to concerned. We are retesting in a few weeks and will go from there....
I will ask him to recheck and go from there. Thanks!...
I do bruise easy but that's it out of the symptoms. Normal range was above 150,000 and mine were 132,000 so not terribly low thankfully. Just never had them be low before so not sure what's up....
No, I feel fine and I am not currently in a flare. So weird....
Anyone have you routine blood work come back and show this? I am scheduled to see my GI on Friday so he had me do my blood work last week. Today I get a call that my platelets and WBC are low and to...
Thanks! I am going on Thursday to see if I am eligible to donate. Hopefully I will be able to!...
Thanks! My UC is in remission right now so I should be fine to donate....
Does anyone know if the allow one to donate plasma with UC?...
I am a runner ( handful of 5Ks, few 10Ks, couple of halfs and planning a full marathon this fall) and have not really had any issues while running, so far. I make sure to get up extra early to have...
Thank you both!!...
My doctor gave me a script for canansa suppositories and told me to use it as needed. I have been having some rectal pain and now some mucus. No urgency or blood but I want to head it off. I planned...
I am on Apriso. They do have a prescription assistance program, which I qualified for, and have received my medication for free over the last year....
Interesting. I have wet MD and UC. Never thought there might be a connection....
I buy the pills off of Amazon. Its @ $60 for 60 pills. I take one per day....
Yes, that makes sense. I don't want to stop running though. I will try to keep it at an easy pace until things calm down....
I was not using rectals just the apriso. My GI prescribed them only as needed so I was putting off using them....
Thank you both for your replies. The weird thing is it could be weeks or months between this happening which is why I didn't think it was a flare. I will start rectal meds tonight....
I am a runner and have been experiencing weird episodes that I am not sure I would call a flare. Most mornings I get up, have a BM and go for a run and I am fine. Some days I will start running and...
My UC is in remission with the Apriso. I have a lot of joint pain and arthritis in my hips/pelvis due to the UC. I have found turmeric, Glucosamine and collagen keep the pain to a minimum. I have...
I was given some samples of this by my GI but I had never heard of it before. Anyone use this and find it helpful? I did a search and found some older posts but wondering if people still use it or...
I switched from Asacol to Apriso with no ill effects. We don't have medical insurance so it's 'only" $523 for a month supply....
About 6 months ago I started having random episodes of deep belching that would last for hours sometimes. Then more recently I noticed that I get full pretty quickly and can't eat as much. Sometimes...
Not radiating but sort of a general achy feeling in the area of my kidneys. I would say its like a 2 on a scale of 1-10. Not terrible but just there and noticeable. It's worse in the morning, I...
I have been having pain in the area of my kidneys for a few weeks now. I was hoping it would just go away but it hasn't. Did a search yesterday and possible reasons and Apriso came up with having...
Thanks for the replies. I have had liver issues in the past so that might explain things. I see my GI next week so I will mention it....
Thanks! I do see my GI in two weeks. I am on a GF diet and don"t eat sugar or soda but I drink coffee with half & half which I think is part of the issue. Not sure if its the coffee or the cream but...
I 'm not sure if I have GERD. I very rarely will have heartburn or reflux and usually I can sip apple cider vinegar and it;s gone. However, for the last few months I will burp very deeply over and...
