Is your sig up to date with regard to current drugs? Sort of. I am currently on Pred taper at 30mg/day, Zoran 4-8x/day, Nexium 2x/day, Salofalk sup. 1/day. There is definitely something brewing as...
It was originally because I was loosing the vision in my eyes and no one seemed to know why. We have now assumed it was Humira and that has been stopped. It was also because I have had a lot of right...
Here is a weird question. I have lived with these symptoms for 12 years and this diagnosis 10 years. Is it weird that I feel somewhat ... not sure ... betrayed? weirdly attached to UC? I honestly...
So when I had my really bad flare in September that had me hospitalized for 6 weeks, I made some calls to get a second opinion. It seems my husband's company pays into the Best Doctors programme...
I get constipated easily when I am in remission. Badly sometimes too. I agree bananas are the devil fruit, but so is anything that you use to calm diarrhoea, just think you are trying to do the...
So, FINALLY, I went to see my GI today. Thank goodness. Basically he feels that my symptoms are much more in line with Crohns than colitis. Apparently the vomiting, just below ribcage stabby pain,...
Update: So I had black stool for a total of 3 days. And with the increase in the nexium that I am taking and maybe with the increase in the zofran to help keep the nexium down, my stool returned to...
So I started taking Humira in September, at which point I noticed a lot of side effects. The day after I took my injections I would vomit for the whole day sometimes leading into the next day. I...
No I have not used imodium. Would not need right now as everything is at a standstill. Ended up ER today because I had horrific sudden stabbing pain that I could not move with. I thought I might have...
No but I have one booked for the end of the month. Had X-rays, blood, and stool samples....
So I have an ulcer :( not happy....
It might be similar to what happened to me in march. My GI was treating me from both ends, and so the rectum had cleared up nicely from the topical, but the inflammation in the transverse colon...
My GI apparently only has 3 clinic days a month. We have now determined Humira does not work for me :( it was definitely causing my vomiting and eye problems. SO now I am just on prednisone and my...
The one thing that I hold onto when I have low days during flares, like last week, is that when I am in remission I make the most of it. Stressing out now won't help, I have a goal of being healthy...
Just to clarify what I call black stool is what usually is that snotty mixture of red that comes out kinda like cherry pie filling, not actually poop except that it was black. I haven't eaten anythin...
No iron supplements and I haven't even taken my vitamin d this week because it was bothering y stomach...
As title says. I am sure this is not a good thing. But am already on pred. I am So bummed out, enjoy the irony, I just want things to get better and I still can't get through to my gi. Sigh...
I have to get in to see my GI, I am going to start calling non stop tomorrow when their office opens post holidays at 7am. I haven't been below 20mg since August, and it is a bit much. I do feel kind...
Pretty sure Humira has been causing the vomiting. Not the prednisone, just I take pre in the morning and I seem to vomit more in the morning than later in the day. No matter if/when/how much/what I...
I have been vomiting 1-10 x per day since mic November. My GP is unable to figure out what it is but I am on Zoran max dosing. Today was the first time I have not vomited right after my pills and its...
So my GP changed my steroids to the afternoon because I was vomiting them up in the morning. They sit much better now, but wow am I having a hard time to sleep. I know I am definitely getting them in...
The drop in bowel movements scares me too when I am on Pred (when you are used to goingg 15-20x a day, once or twice = ahhhhh) So my dr always reminds me that "normal people" go once a day and they...
My insurance will cover $500....
Hi. When I was last in hospital the admitting dr (internal medicine) recommended in the discharge instructions that I should see a naturopathic doctor to help compliment the rest of my care. Do any...
I get really bad headaches from Humira, I take Tylenol 1 when they are super bad , I also have a script sitting g in the cupboard with 4 Tylenol 3s for the super unbearable days which are like once...
acne is my main side effect from all the pred I have been on, just thankful I don't get the chipmunk face my brother gets :)...
Hi, I have this.. not constant but it comes and goes. I find it very distracting and irritating. I cannot figure out what brings it one. I do know when it started I also started to have issues with...
Happy New Year all, may it be healthier than 2014!!!...
So I got a letter in the mail today from the GI clinic that they did book me an appt on January 25th. I feel like this is too far away. It was mailed on December 23rd, so a month from then. It seems...
Awesome bad gut thanks for the tip :) Will be a chaser to my ginger tea :P...
So my GP is as frustrated as I am. We are trying to decide whether or not to try and skip this humira dose if that resolves my vomiting, as it has been decreasing, and playing with the time I take my...
Thanks Tinabeans. I was told by GI to go to er if I was having diarrhea and vomiting, ER send me home and tells me to see my GI because theirs is on Christmas holiday and they have one on call...
I am just on Humira. I had a reaction to Remicade and stopped it in August, started Humira in September. I am not sure if the humira is helping as I have developed vomiting which is either from the...
I have wondered since the vomiting did not start until I started humira if it is just a side effect of the drug, but the visit I had from the GI in the hospital he told me that was highly unlikely...
I live in Nova Scotia (Canada). The GI I used to have I guess was well known for being 'delinquent' on appts. I got into him because he takes as many patients he can get and really up until 2011 I...
I am a new member here. I was diagnosed in 2006, but I did not start having flares until 2011. I had a huge flare that just wouldn't stop. I spent 2 years trying to get into my GI. When I got in in...
