I have sores when I flare. After colectomy I have the still, in my mouth and genitals. I'm on azathioprine to stay healthy...
I've been on azathioprine for ~20 years. Even after colectomy because I started flaring after. Blood work is being checked regularly....
If I have a bowel movement, I will count it. Even if it's just a remnant. Yes, I still keep a food journal. It helps me monitor things. I have a j-pouch now since 2019 and it was redone in 2021. I...
No, I got sterilized because I didn't want to pass this on. I had UC since I was 17 years old and I don't wish it on anybody....
I'm still flaring without it...
Since I've got my jpouch, I'm definitely more housebound....
I remember you. I'm sorry you're in a flare again. Do you also have endometriosis? I remember you didn't have your period during flares at all. What's your doc's action plan?...
Dr Remzi fixed my jpouch...
Hi I could answer in German but this forum is mainly English I'll keep it in English. I don't have experience with it. I take ubrelvy for my migraines and it seems to help. It doesn't make me flare....
Nicotine patches didn't help me at all. But I'm sure my mom never got colitis because she smoked her entire life....
I had it after a lot of my surgeries and it was fine. I always indicated that I cannot take NSAID so I assumed it was fine. And it was...
I've been on azathioprine for 15 years or so, no side effects except nausea in the first 3 months. It's my life line and I went back on it after my colectomy to control joint and other types of...
I have only experience with NYU langone and they were awesome. I had my 2nd 3 step jpouch surgery/redo there and they were fantastic. No clue about osteoporosis though...
They refuses to give me rejections or infusions and I had to take Boniva...
I was lurking and I saw you had your surgery! Congrats! I hope you're recovering well. I'm sorry to hear about your dad passing. I'm on reddit.com/r/ostomy for support. I don't have a stoma right now...
HI Miranda I hope it all went well...
They gave me a different betablocker lol I haven't started it yet. I'm coming out of the flare though so that's good...
I have no advice but when I was around that age, I was also very skinny (43 kg at 165 cm height) and even though colitis hasn't treated me well, with time things got better. I'm at 55 kg right now,...
I was supposed to have my appointment this Monday but my cardiologist caught covid and had to reschedule. I hope we can find something else because for the first time in my life I was able to shower...
Sara I'm so happy you're in remission. Keep doing what you're doing and I hope you'll never flare again....
Well my problem is different. I have been fainting whenever I stand since I was 11 years old. The betablocker helped because the way my cardiologist explained it, my heart is supposed to go faster...
Planning to once I go to my appointment. As this point I've been fainting for so long that I'm used to it 😅...
I already tried it twice. The same thing happened the first and second time. I don't want to flare again....
My appointment got rescheduled so I couldn't ask. However I have dropped the betablocker and I no longer feel like I'm flaring. My ulcers are healing and I'm no longer incontinent....
I'm on my trusted Imuran 100 mg and I recently added Atenolol 25 mg. I initially went to the cardiologist because of irregular heart beats. He was more interested in me fainting all the time and...

I flared as soon as I increased my dosage of azathioprine and subsequently went off of it...
During my last flare I ate whatever I wanted because it made no difference...
I don't believe reviews online anymore. My surgeon had excellent reviews and he botched me. I'd just see a few gi and see if I get along...
For depression and anxiety I take John's wort. It's over the counter. I've always had depression and anxiety and after every surgery it got a lot worse. After my last surgery I took John's wort and...

When I got remicade they gave me benadryl and prednisone to prevent a reaction and kept me there for a long enough time to see if I'd get a reaction. OK that was more than a decade ago but don't they...
