I actually just asked my PCP for antidepressants specifically related to my UC flare. She definitely did not think I was in anyway drug seeking. As a nurse, I can tell you people who drug seek don't...
Wow that's great news for you! Congrats. And it's so nice to hear positive stories as well....thank you for your help. You have actually made me feel a little better and more optimistic....
It makes sense that with like any type of enema, you are essentially flushing everything out...so it may appear that there is more blood. Is it constantly increased throughout the day or just when...
And to answer your question, I was dx'd with Proctitis but I am getting a colonoscopy in a few weeks bc they believe it has progressed :(...
That's good to know! Thank you...
I use them at bedtime. Retain all night....somehow...
Well I am on a steroid enema- the hydrocortisone. Is there something else I should be requesting that has worked for you guys???...
I'm on hydrocortisone foam. Been on that for a few weeks- also not doing much of anything :(...
Good to know. I'll try and calm down a little. Thanks...
Hahaha I probably get more worried as a nurse bc I know all the possible outcomes. How long does pred usually take for you guys? I have been on 40mg for 3 days now and have had some slight subtle...
They upped my pred bc he started me at 20 And it didn't do a thing. Haven't been nauseous since thankfully. We shall see how today goes. I don't think I am dehydrated since I don't have loose...
I increased my prednisone to 40 mg today. Took 4 lialda as usual today, 3 tumeric and slippery elm later in the day. The only think that changed was upping the pred....my bum feels quite good but the...
Thank you! I will try and get in touch with all of them. Glad to hear not just me mgh doesn't want to talk to......
I'm actually trying to get in there but seems impossible to get a call back....
Thank you...
Does anyone know of any good GI Drs in or near Boston??? I am moving soon and looking for a new Dr...also I currently hate my dr and am in desperate need of someone better. Thanks!...
That's what I have been reading but he is insisting that I have "an infection" and won't give me more pred until that is ruled out. It's so frustrating...
I have been in a flare for 2 months now. I upped my lialda to 4 tabs a day, started budesonide and hydrocortisone enemas with no effect. Changed from UCERIS to Prednisone 20mg one week ago,...
Don't tell me that...
Bananagirl- I see that you use nicotine patch. How does that work for you??? Did your dr prescribe it. I have been looking into it but havent talked to anyone who actually knows anything about it....
I havent tried it yet. Im actually waiting for a call back from my dr. I told him I was open to it. Im really nervous about it though. Im very small 105lbs and it looks like they start dosing at 40mg...
I was dx'd with Proctitis and possible Proctosigmoiditis 2 years ago. I never responded to topical meds, though my GI doc is insistent on using them. I started a flare up about 2.5 months ago (my...
