I’m in the process of finding a new therapist. My old therapist no longer takes insurance and charges $240/hour. Yes, I’m on anxiety medication unfortunately the death of my mom has made it creep...
The doctors have not spoken to me about any other meds than the steroids. They’ve tried the mesalamines but I’m unfortunately intolerant - causes more D and the Canasa actually caused a fever until I...
*shut not crap ...sorry sent via my phone....
I actually fought back and was like why can’t I try another two weeks of the enemas and she said “you’ve been dealing with this since you were thirty and doing the enemas and your still flaring, it’s...
Hello! I’ve had UC proctosigmoid for four years now and have never taken predisone. I’m allergic to all 5-ASA drugs so my doctor has had me on UCeris only and hydrocortenema when flaring. I’ve been...
I've been on it since October 4th, nightly. My GI thinks I should be on it 7 weeks after symptoms have stopped completely. I'm hoping to taper soon and get off of it for awhile. I brought up the...
Thank you all for your comments! I really think it is overkill. Unless my symptoms were getting worse or it has been sometime I don't feel I need another scope in such a short period of time. For the...
I'm only on the hydro enemas as I've had an allergic reaction twice to the meslamamine, suppositories and enemas. She hasn't offered any other treatment plans for me except that if the flare didn't...

I went to my primary, they can't say it's a virus or a reaction but she called my GI and they told me to stop the canasa as an allergic reaction can be flu like symptoms and fever. They said I should...
Could my fever be related to the canasa suppository? I made an appointment with my General doc for today. But I'm Hesitant to put the suppository in before hand - oh this is a confusing time! Woke up...
After my original scope she put me on hydro and mesalimine enemas - I had to stop the mesalimine after two weeks as it caused D every ten minutes - I stopped it and the D went away and continued on...
Thanks John, it's frustrating, confusing, scary and all sorts of other emotions having UC. I just want to see improvement so I can get back to being the great energy filled mom of two I was prior to...
Hello, Newly diagnosed- end of July. I started hydrocortisone enemas about 15 days ago, 2 days ago I was just put on canasa suppository- I did two canasa so far but yesterday I couldn't really hold...
Yes, I have read about the other medications available. My doc put me on hydrocortisone enemas only, this go around-and I'm not sure it's helping. Should I wait a few more days or call and insist on...
Doctor just said UC, 20 cm of inflammation. I had a reaction to the mesalimine and I get the feeling she isn't sure what else to do for me. Does this mean the Hydrcort enema isn't working? I plan on...
