Thanks for the responses. My urologist is kind of crappy. Wont give me anything but Cipro and I wont take it because of the UC. Ill try to ask my PCP for the other ones but theyve both said no...
My problem is I have Ulcerative Colitis so when they tell me there is no sign of infection I am afraid of taking antibiotics as it could throw me into a flare. Thanks for the responses though....
Could I have an infection for 6 months and it only shows those symptoms. Can an infection not show on a urine test?...
I am 32 and for about 6 months now I have had a couple second delay when starting urine flow and burning at the start. Normal urine output and maybe 10 nights I have had to get up in the middle of...
No fever, i had lower pain in the abdomen for a few days that freaked me out but then that went away and i have on and off again pain in the right side of my chest. Im starting to think its my...
Thanks for all the responses. I guess this fitbit is causing more anxiety because I am just staring at my heart rate a lot. If I am constantly anxious and stressed something is wrong. Would that make...
Thanks for the responses. Ive had 3 tests come back negative for infection but the anxiety in me thinks they could be wrong and now the infection has spread. I woke up this morning and the first...
To start off I am a really big hypocondriac and I know no one is a doctor but hopefully someone has experienced this. So the last few months Ive had some urinary issues but all tests have come back...
I had 3 urine tests for everything. Ive been with my wife now almost 4 years so if I had an STD I dont think id able able to post on this forum. The pelvic fullness and the fact it takes a few...
Hi I hope I am not offending anyone or wasting anyones time if this is just me over worrying. I am 31 and about 2 months ago i started having burning while urinating. It has never been too painful...
I recently was prescribed Celebrex by my urologist for possible inflammation in my urinary tract. I emailed my GI and he said it was ok to take for a week. Immediately after taking I had stomach...
Lol thats quite a wager. I do have one more question for tbe board. Has anyone had a bowel movement and get a feeling on one side of almost like the stool is being dragged against something on one...
I will be going over my symptoms at the time and he said if im still bleeding he is going to do a scope. I will alsobring up some of the things the board mentioned. Now with my usual health anxiety...
In 12 days...
If this doesn't clear up before my appointment I will mention all this to him. Thanks so much everyone really appreciated. I do always have anxiety about worst case. If my colonoscopy was 3 years ago...
Well I just got some good news my doc said to up the lialda to 4 a day and 2 canasa and if that doesnt work he wants a short pred run. My question is if anyone knows is should i take them all at once...
I appreciate the responses. Ive been emailing him once a week keeping him updated. Still waiting on today's response. The fact that he keeps saying wait and see till my appointment because hes not...
I just emailed him asking about upping the lialda or canasa. I also asked him about enemas or steroid suppositories. Im hoping since it is so minor of a flare he will consider. I really appreciate...
Thanks for the response. I have no problem taking the stronger medicines just thought it was a big jump without trying all that you mentioned. Id love to take 2 canasa a day but id run out of my...
Yeah it is which has me worried. Thats why i came to get the boards advice so i can ask him why cant we try so and so medicine first. So for such mild symptoms would asking for the enemas be a smart...
The problem is he hasnt talked about upping the lialda. Hes already talking about different medication. The symptoms i have now have always been my symptoms. If this is just mild im hoping to stay...
So my GI saying there is nothing stronger than canasa should i assume he wont consider those options. Him not even thinking this is a flare and taking a wait and see approach has already got me...
I was just wondering what other suppositories are out there besides Canasa. Quick backround been in remission for 3 years after being diagnosed with ulcerative proctitis and have been bleeding for...
I hope it is. I love my GI as when i was diagnosed with ulcerative proctitis he decided to treat from both ends right away and put me in remission right away. The upper stomach pains and the blood in...
My doctor replied to an email on his vacation. He said with the blood on one side of the stool and since i am having a burning pain on one side during the movement he suspects fissure or hemmy. He...
Around 3 years ago i was diagnosed with ulcerative proctitis. At the time i had blood on stool, on the toliet paper, some tensemus and stomach pain right where the sternum ends top middle of the...
From what i am reading it sounds like I have GAD. So anything specific on that would help. Im trying to schedule with a therapist but that takes months to get into the schedule. It sucks that I was...
I just got back from vacation and I am having horrible anxiety. I am only 27 soon to be 28 and I am driving myself crazy about life. I have numerous times thought of events 4 or 5 years in the past...
Thanks everyone !...
I am traveling out of the country for 7 days to Costa Rica where it is really hot and about a 30 min ride to the hotel. Im worried about them melting and then me being without them for 7 days and...
Yes the pathologists report said he agrees with the GI's diagnosis which said proctitis, colitis. I am def not looking for a diagnosis from the board just an opinion because my one dr whos daughter...
Thats the only two symptoms. The stomach pain is right above my belly button and the blood went away after the first night with canasa. Never had any diarrhea, never more than 4 bm's in a day the...
I am sorry for the long post in advance as I posted a long one when I first joined but this board has some awesome people and just looking for opinions. My only two symptoms have ever been blood...
I don't even have that. Only once or twice ive passed gas this week....
Has anyone gone days with no gas? Im new to this and it seems all I am reading is people have too much gas. Anyone similar or have any helpful opinions. Thanks...
Thanks for that Dr. Ben...
He does i have oral and suppository...
CcinPa thank you so much for that post. This board is a real help and I wish they would find a cure for long time sufferers....
I know that is what I keep hearing that they wouldnt be on the boards. I guess it would just be nice to hear if there are cases where people had long remission and didnt have the strictest diet...
I know there is no cure but also sounds like there is no hope for prolonged remission....
I am not trying to begging people to tell me. I am just newly diagnosed and reading nothing but horror stories has just made me completely depressed. All I was trying to do is find out if there is...
Thanks Kazbern I really appreciate your post....
Thanks Duffle. These boards have a wealth of knowledge and I am just looking for balance and hoping some people could post that had minor symptoms forever or still had cheating in there diet with...
Sorry to pry and keep asking questions. Is there a reason why those 2 never took medication....
Duffle, thats the most hope I have read out of a post this whole time. Have you heard anyone that has flares but they are all minor? How is your friends diet? I havent touched anything in a week. I...
Duffle , really you know people that had one flare and thats it? How long have they had the disease?...
Virdent, its so true reading all these boards while ive learned a lot I have also caused myself major anxiety. I also figure that this might be the minority on here but its still nice to hear stories...
Kazbern, what was yours when it was worse than mild. I will post what my GI says on Monday...
My extent was inflamed in the rectum where he took the biopsy and some random inflammation in the cecum. He kept saying mild and then sent me on my way and the obvious no changes in diet. After...
Im sure plenty of topics are like this and I have read through a lot of this forum in the last week. I am hoping for some answers. With recent family tragedies and this diagnosis my anxiety and...
