Sorry to any offended.. Blame the prednisone! Been effecting me this way lately. Just tell me to bugger off lol...
Never knew I could ask for meds over a call. I suspect he will want to see me as its totally new. I did ask when he first subscribed prednisone if it was a rectal. He said nope oral is easier, kinda...
I realize you are endorsing the butt meds.. Not disagreeing with you. I will be asking next meeting. Appreciate any help here but not interested in attitudes... Enough of that in this world!...
Not at all shy on trying the rectal meds. I just want this flare controlled and get off the damn prednisone. Last few days get up and BM pretty much right away.. Skinny stool sometimes very light...
Thanks I will next time and let you guys know the verdict. ...
I actually totally forgot.. but only because there was so many other questions I had for him. I go back I a couple weeks and will ask ...
Quick update after GI meeting. 1- upped my asacol to 12 400mg tablets 2- agrees prednisone has to go.. Wants me to finish the course I'm on tapering 1 5mg tablet per week till I get to 3 pills......
Uggg I hate prednisone too! I felt the same way after finishing. Lasts a week or so. Unfortunately mine flared again and I'm back on the crap...... It sucks not feeling yourself...
Thanks.. Just wishing this one takes. See my GI this Wed. Will be asking more questions for sure! ...
Usually start 40mg for 1-2 weeks then taper down 1 pill a week. I'm 270lbs 6'6" male. If that makes any difference?...
I had the same diagnosed condition. Took me personally 3 months to get remission which lasted me for 6 years without any real problems. That was till this August.. Big flare up due to work stress....
Been on and off prednisone since end of August 2015. I am on my 4th try tapering from 8 5mg tablets per day. This time instead of going down 1 full pill per week the GI suggests going down 1\2 pill...
Ha-ha OK Quincy... Only way to figure it out is to give it a go ...
I am beginning to believe all "additives" are more or less bad for you. Keep to eating a more natural diet and you probably will feel better overall. Keep on the meds though as UC is always there! I...
Thanks for the pointers iPoop! I have a GI appointment mid week so I will def. be asking about the increase in Asacol. I have a hunch this is all I will need to get over the hump. ...
+1 for the metamucial tablets.. They work great and help out bulking things up without feeling like your dragging a roll of sand paper out of you a**. Just for fun try making nopal cactus leaf...
I have heard that the CBD oils are OK but you need to have a look at THC oils mainly the way this guy called Rick Simpson makes it. RSO (rick Simpson oil)... I have never tried it but it's on my...
I was in your position once... Read Breaking the Vicious Cycle and follow the diet. It helped me with my first major flare and Asacol. But really I feel you can control UC with proper diet and a...
Thanks everyone! Yeah I asked when he wanted to start prednisone about how it was delivered? Told me oral is the easiest? I dunno. I have had it for years but never had to battle it so hard. Work...
Guys, Girls. Just wanted to say hi and do a first post! Current meds: Asacol 8 per day Prednisone 7 1/2 day on taper 2.5mg per week Metamucial tablets Multi vitamin ***testing out the nopal cactus...
