That's interesting. I spent a lot of time in the sun as a child. I've never had issues. Until this year (or maybe last year, idk). One other thing that I have problems with is dry eyes. Generally,...
So, last week, the warmer weather came and with it the stronger sun. I went outside around midday. Walked for about 30 minutes. Came back with a huge headache. This week too. I helped my parents in...
I think that more time is needed. Your colon heals very slowly. Time will tell whether your therapy needs some tweaking. And I don't think your "good as its going to get" is good enough. If there is...
Thanks for the answers. The thing is that I ALWAYS feel the wax/slippery stuff on my buttcheeks (both sides) without the BM. Some mornings, I sit on the toiled, but no BM, just a type of "wet fart"...
This might be a bit of an awkward question... So my doctor put me off of Pentasa and instead placed me on Salofalk 1g Suppositories. So I started putting them overnight (2 days so far). I am afraid...
I went to a more expensive clinic. Where the dermatologist listened to what I have to say. She said that it's Atopic dermatitis. Which I think is another word for Eczema. She prescribed me Octenisept...
All anti-fungal medications can cause liver damage....
My blood test results just came in. My Lymphocytes = 20.5 (normal range is 25 - 40). Which is lower than I expected. It used to be just bellow 25. But my Leukocytes are in the normal range. I also...
I have received additional results from the lab. The results said that: "Fungus was found. Dermatophytes were not isolated" This made me think that it's Eczema. The dermatologist I went to at first...
Thanks for the heads up. This really sucks hard. The shitty thing is that I started treating it fairly late (and I spotted the itchy bumps fairly early). I also started wearing sandals late (and it...
I did try a shampoo that contains Ketoconazole. Which is like Nizoral, but different brand name I guess....
I've already tried with vinegar. It did help with the itch. But it was the dermatologist that told me that fungus likes the acidic environment and that baking soda is better. Yea, UC is shit. Even...
I've done 10s of blood tests (all after I started taking Azathioprine). They show wbc being on the lower boundary. Most of the time it being just bellow the lower boundary. I wanted her to take it...
I try to not eat at all. The less you eat, the less your bowels are working....
This might be a bit off topic as it is not directly related to UC... Its seems I've picked up foot fungus. It's on the skin on my left foot, it covers about 1/4 of the skin on my foot. I am treating...
I am not completely sure. I am going to stop taking it, then start again after some time. And see the results. I bought it because I started working out, and because I've heard about it being good...
4 month ago, tests showed my Calprotectin level was at 75. A few days ago, the tests showed that Calprotectin level went up to 300. I am starting to think that L-Glutamine did that. I have been...
I have day long prep. I was given a list of things that I should do. It's a day long preparation. I don't remember the product that they wrote down on the list. All I remember is that I drink it the...
I have taken 3 day sick leave. One day for colonoscopy and 2 days for colonoscopy prep. Here's the problem. I plan on going on a job interview a day after colonoscopy. And I want to prepare for the...
A couple of cysts appeared on my shoulders. And the ones I already had started getting inflamed. So I used it on my shoulders. I didn't have enough to cover all of it, so I applied it in a thinner...
I crush one pill and add a few drops of water. Enough to make a paste, but still keep it less watery (it leaks down when I add too much water). Then I apply it, preferably with a cotton swab. I keep...
I am from Europe. The name of the drug is "Rompirin". Not in the US. Paula's Choice is available in some of the surrounding countries, but doesn't seem to be available in mine....
After every shower, I use the La Roche Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel. I don't use a moisturizer. I've been thinking about buying one, but they are expensive. I could get a cheap one, but I...
No...
Well, it appears my acne got inflamed because of the cold. I had this happen to me before. Thanks for the help. I did do it, it helped, but only temporarily. It's red and painful again....
When I have acne, usually it's cystic acne. Currently I have one huge cyst that is inflamed and painful. I read that I can crush Aspirin and apply it on skin. The problem is that I am scared because...
And now it's back...
Well its not painful. It was just there... and now its not anymore. Weird....
Hey, ewa. I went to the dentist more than a year ago. Also, I don't feel the bump anymore. I just feel the spot where it was. I have a dentist appointment in ~2 weeks. I am going to ask him about...
I don't know if this is related to UC... I have a miniature hard bump on the inside of my cheek. When I touch it and press it with my tongue, it almost disappears. I can only feel a small "hill"...
The cold sores went away a week ago. Currently I am feeling some sensation bellow my mouth (mainly pain). So I am guessing it's returning. I took 2g a day. But I forgot to take Lysine for about 2...
I am taking 500mg twice daily. I could double the dosage....
My last cold sore is healed (that one was painful), but I got two new ones, yay! :/ Both on lower lip, one left of the previous spot, and one right of the previous spot. The new sores aren't painful,...
Lysine supplements are cheap. I expected a higher price....
I ate chocolate and nuts lately. That must be one of the reasons this is happening....
The cold sore dried out thanks to Acyclovir, but it burst after wiping myself with a towel after shower. :/...
I tried taking a picture, but it's barely visible. It's just a bump, after just 2 days of Acyclovir....
I don't know what it can be. I can and I will....
Ok. Just to make things clear. These cold sores don't hurt that bad. They are not very visible either. They don't burst and they don't leave any scars. They are just mild and come back every few...
I didn't have the time to get it checked out. I am already taking vitamin b supplements. I will buy this L-lysine tomorrow....
Is the cold sore transmitted only when it bursts or even when it does not ?...
I've never heard about these invisible patches. YOU ARE A GODSEND!...
They are not serious, just minor and they go away after a week. Only lately I started using Acyclovir so that they go away as soon as possible. My UC is currently in light activity because of the...
I've been to the doctors, and she said that the most important things when it comes to flu are fever and lungs. I didn't have fever for 2-3 days and she checked my lungs and said they sound fine....
I'm a guy, my UC covers my entire colon. In my worst moments where the inflammation was strongest, during BMs everything bellow my ribs and above my knees hurt like hell (testicles too). Later when...
Yea, but the thing is that symptoms completely pass after 2 weeks. So I do not know when is safe and when it's not....
I started taking Imuran in December last year (it has been 10 months), since then I feel that my immune system is weaker. A few days ago, I got the flu, mild fever coming and going, sometimes chills...
Well I assumed life would be normal while in remission. Which is what a lot of sources about the disease insinuate....
These are all valid facts, but I am not American. It's different here. The only member of my family that is "thicker" is my mom, but with her genetics play a role. All of her brothers and her...
I don't know about these diets... they seem go against what my bowel likes. Also there seems to be no proof that they work... AFAIK there is only anecdotal evidence....
