Thank you...
Interesting. What hospital do you go to for treatment? Do you have any more info on the clinical trial?...
Well, is neuropathy just tingling in the extremities or does it include other things? I have been on Cipro and Flagyl for the past 2 months and have noticed some minor vertigo/equilibrium issues....
Well it's not really brainwashing. It's an evolutionary thing for us to have an aversion to fecal matter. It's full of bacteria and quite often diseases and is in our best interest to steer clear....
After failing every drug available, I decided to do antibiotics followed by FMT. Well the antibiotics have been working amazingly, which gives me hope that FMT will be successful in fixing the...
I'm currently on Cipro and Flagyl and am doing the best I ever have since I got UC. My sedrate is down, blood has disappeared, frequency is down to maybe 3 times a day from 15 last fall. I am not in...
Last time I was on Pred I was almost suicidal. It was the most crippling depression I have ever experienced. Absolutely the worst time in my life....
Yeah I have a question as well. Could you list/describe the positions they had you do after the infusions?...
I have done a lot of research on this but the opinions seem to be mixed so I thought I would ask here. I want to try FMT as a last ditch thing before getting surgery. I have failed all other...
I hate to rain on your parade but I really don't think there is such a thing as "typical" with this disease. My first flare disappeared after a week on Prednisone and when my second flare came I was...
Steroid refractory is the term you're looking for. You've been taking it for less than a week and it could possibly just need more time. And yes it is possible that the medication could be expired...
I already asked this question in a thread but I thought I would get it to a wider audience. If j-pouch surgery leaves a part of the rectum, then wouldn't proctitis continue? And wouldn't cancer of...
Oh wow it all makes sense now. When I had my colsult with the surgeon he had me do one of those Prometheus lab tests. He said it would help us find out if I was at risk for pouchitis or not. I...
I work a semi-physical job in transportation. Nothing too demanding but some climbing on ladders, bending over, light lifting and pulling, that sort of thing. I could see how the job could have some...
Thanks for the advice. I am glad to hear you have had success with antibiotics and I think that is what I will be trying next. I'll give a look at S. Boulardii. I have a prescription for VSL #3 for...
Happy New Year everyone! So here's my story. 30 year old male. I was diagnosed with moderate left-sided UC in January of 2015 after approximately 4 months of bloody diarrhea. Doc prescribed 4g of...
