Rectal steroids sounds like what you need. I really recommend it over pills, since i got the feeling from your post that your inflammation is in the lower part of the colon...
Nah, with that little inflammation i wouldnt care for big gun meds at all, just have your colon checked regulary. Besides colon cancer is after all more treatable than t-cell lymphoma...
Personally I cant think of any pain worse than the UC flare-pain, I cant believe how one can have a painlessly inflamed colon... What you are experiencing right now is called colon cramping, and it...
Why are 9 year old kids being put on Imuran before 5-asa? I dont understand this. And throwing up from both Imuran and pred sounds to me like it is rather her inflamed colon that is causing it......
I remember my first ever UC symptoms appeared after running. I think running/cycling is bad for UC at least short term, it awakes your gut, causing cramps....
Cider and certain drinks, like mojito for instance, is best for me. Beer and wine is just simply horrible. All alcohol is killing my gut though, just more or less......
I dont know why but I like the name "Stella"...
Never had these symptoms from aza, and really it shouldnt be causing them either. I believe its your mind blaming 6-mp for your uc-pain... the sore throat however is probably due to 6-mp...
Talking about that procedure, my UC always gets worse after having one....
Andrina are you joking? Heart attack... yeah sure. It pisses me off when the first thing people will hear when they ask for advice is that they are having a heart attack. Save your fears for yourself...
Does sound like ulcerative colitis to me, not side effect from Imuran. UC has like a billion different types of stomach discomforts that can pop up, it's not like it's just your colon being a little...
Warm shower!...
You probably do not have PSC. You are just worried. I always have upper right abdominal pain, and it is most likely from the UC. We all can have pale stool once in a while, don´t worry until you...
I was on aza for 5 years! It really helped me ALOT...
Perfectly fine Ive been drinking kind of heavily while on pred enemas, azathioprine, asacol, sertraline, you name it! Im alive....
I have severe problems with, especially whiskey, but also with alcohol in general. Alcohol is in my opinion devastating for UC....
Well I Can tell you what does not work: bread, marmelade, oboy, cheese, milk, cornflakes, oats... Cuz thats basically what ive been living on the past few months and i am flaring horribly!...
Hadn't used many NSAIDs, if any, when I got my UC. Sounds like a long shot to me, but certainly a valid theory, i might have counsumed one NSAID or two prior my diagnosis, nothing I recall tho. Im...
Looking forward to see how this progresses. I expect to be able to pick up my new medication next week, oh yes i.m kidding with you guys :> Still very promising tho, ty for posting it...
I have severe depression and severe UC. But I have always had a huge libido, and I really mean huge. This might sound a bit odd but its like my sexual drive actually becomes stronger the sicker I am....
I think at the moment, it's like 3-4 times a day, and im having a little flare. No flare = 1-2 times a day, and heavy flare i think i can reach 30/Day....
Mirtazapine will make you gain weight, if you feel like taking an antidepressant....
Lymph nodes can swell for several reasons, and lymphoma is the least likely of them, even if on remicade. I hope it will be alright!...
Question is, why are you being put on Remicade before Azatioprin/6mp? Sounds strange to me. I think Remicade is overkill in your case. I think you should stick with the steroids if you flare as...
I would say Denmark had quite many public toilets when I was there, and most importantly - they were FREE! Sweden is horrible. If you, against all odds, do find a public WC it will not be a free...
Weather changes. Might be, might be... I usually have more intense flares during summer, for not to say I have passed some winters with total remission. Colazal never worked for me at all. What to...
Sorry for being off topic, but do they work? The e-ciggs. For UC....
If she is having big troubles and taking high dosage of steorids I would probably go for Imuran. It is working like a charm. Asacol (best 5-ASA imo) can be effective when applied rectally (for...
I was on Imuran for 4 years without much trouble except for anxiety and mini-flares, and a bit high liver values (which were probably due to kind of heavy alcoholdrinking the days before the test...
Asacol works better than Colazal for me. Maybe it's the opposite in your case. None of them works fully though, for me....
I have horrible reflux. The day(s) after drinking alcohol... oh god...
