I start Entyvio this week. Ive read so many horror stories I think I completely freaked myself out. I already have anxiety, i just made things worse. Anyone have any good stories to share?...
When I was in high school I got SUPER drunk one night. Like that special kind of drunk that only a dumb inexperienced high school student can achieve without dying. A few weeks later the blood in the...
Thanks. I just feel like I'm running out of med options at this point. I asked my doctor about taking out my colon in the fall and he had me talk to the surgeon. The surgeon was really nice, he...
I just need to vent to people who get it. My whining is twofold 1) I'm sick of meds. I've been through the usual courses of 5-ASAs, steroids, enemas. I tried Remicade but had a bad reaction. I've...
I found steroid weight harder to lose than other weight. I got a pot-belly that is just now here forever I think. Sounds like you're exercising and eating right. The puffiness can take a month a two...
So I've been on Simponi with an azathioprine 50mg/day chaser for a year. It's been like a miracle. Until 3 days ago. All of acsudden the blood is back. I can't pinpoint a cause, just stupid UC doing...
I usually do too Virgil! This time there was something screwy with the injector (I literally have the worst luck). This is the second time I've had an injector issue. The first was because it had...
Hi again all! It's great to hear how well this works! I had a snag with my latest delivery so looks like I'll be taking my next injection a few days late. Bananagirl, have you noticed any effects...
Thanks all! I'll probably skip this next dose and see what happens....
Anyone ever missed a dose of azathioprine in the 1st week? I suspect I'm having a bad reaction (I've developed a terrible rash) and I'm afraid to take my next dose because I'm traveling and not near...
Anyone else on Simponi? I swear I love this drug but the one thing I don't love is that it seems to wear off around the third week. I've heard this is not unheard of with RA patients, but I'm just...
Just thought I'd throw in my two cents. I had almost the exact symptoms as described. 8-10 times a day, accidents, blood, cramping, all on a good day. Tried every probiotic and diet and asacol and...
I definitely think it is an allergic reaction. My PCP wasn't super familiar with all the side effects of remi, so I'm waiting to talk to my GI next week. I'm going to ask about switching to Humira or...
Exactly where I am right now. I'm over it all. At least we're not alone!...
So I had my 2nd remicade infusion and of course, had bad reaction, my chest got tight, my airways were closing up...great stuff. It's four days later and my airways are still tightening if I miss...
Anyone know what happens if you miss your 2nd dose of remicade? I was supposed to have it friday but have the flu. My doctor's office told me that they'll reschedule the infusion but she didn't tell...
