Thank you for the info Curedcolitis!...
Thank you Doggiedo! I'm starting to see that being able to talk to others dealing with similar problems really does help. I've always said that I wouldn't let these issues define who I am, so I would...
Curedcolitis- I am so glad that you found such an awesome cure! I have Activated charcoal on my list of things to look into :) and luckily my colitis is reacting really well to the remicade, and my...
WorriedUCer- thank you! I am going to look into the D-Mannose! My family is my biggest support system as well. They're the only ones that have really seen my struggle. I try to remind myself daily...
WorriedUCer- I hate that you have to deal with that. It's so hard to try to maintain friendships when it takes everything you have just to get through the day! I always feel like a miserable friend...
Thank you guys! I've been having a really rough time dealing with all of this lately. And as for my bladder problems, I have urgency and spasms, I also have pelvic floor dysfunction, which causes me...
I am desperately needing to vent, and I hate complaining to my family and friends because I don't want pity and I feel like a burden when I do so I'm going to vent to you all... lol I am having such...
I have been on Remicade since August, and since then, I have had a chronic sore throat, which my ENT said was due to my muscles tightening around my thyroid grand, and I have also been diagnosed with...
My guess is that it is the steroids, I always get like that when I take them, I also get extreme anxiety....
I think you need to weight the pros and cons, and see a GI immediately. to me, having COPD or Lung Ca is far worse than the Ulcerative Colitis, especially because there are a lot of different ways to...
I always take cranberry pills for bladder infections, and they do seem to help. I have also used alka seltzer (not the cold remedy ones) when I feel one coming on. Maybe those might help you?...
My Dr called yesterday and prescribed Budesonide, hopefully it will help, she isn't quite sure what the cause is though......
Thank you all! I will start taking some B-12 , hopefully that helps!...
I haven't done anything different, food, medication, or anything else that I can think of. I'm taking Multivitamins, prenatals, and Biotin as well. They did a CBC at the hospital last night...
I am not on any medications at the moment, I am suppose to start Remicade soon (if my insurance ever gets around to giving me approval) I haven't been on steroid for a couple of years. Circulation...
A couple of days ago I got a burning sensation in my hand and when I touched it, its felt like the skin was going to peel off, and then it slowly started to work its way through out my whole body....
Thank you, I will! :) I haven't received an actual date yet, but they told me it should probably be next week. I am hoping to hear an exact date today....
My doctors say its best to get them done every two years so they can detect any signs of cancer right away. I was diagnosed in 2008 and have had 5 colonoscopies, they definitely aren't my favorite...
I was having the same trouble. I never really noticed that my stomach made a lot of noise in any of my other flare ups, but my most recent one it made so much noise! It's really kind of embarrassing!...
Thank you all so much for your input! I feel so much better about starting this now! 😊...
I would call the doctor ASAP to go over your symptoms, prednisone can give you bad withdrawal symptoms if you tape off the wrong way. Your doctor or nurse should be able to help you with it....
I will be starting Remicade soon, and I am pretty nervous about it. I have a three month old daughter and I work full time as a Medical Assistant for a doctors office, so I come into contact with...
