Hi - I just started using Biolgue Biotin Shampoo about a month ago, it comes in a pink and gray bottle. It seems to be working! I noticed a lot of hair loss after tampering off Prednisone and...
I went through quite a few months with extremely bad hair loss. My hair would fall out everywhere! I flared all last summer, I had just started on Remicade, and was finally finished with Prednisone....
Remicade worked for me! I was sick all spring / summer and started Remicade in July and within two weeks I was able to stop prednisone (I was already tapering), and my Dr. pulled me off Lialda after...
Hi noodlesnoodles - I've been off prednisone for almost 3 weeks now. The nurse at during my remicade infusion told me that it's most likely from being on steroids for almost 6 months and now that I'm...
Thank you iPoop. I'm trying not to stress about it. The only reason I am worried is that because my scalp is very sore. I can only assume that's from losing hair so much. I did recently (a few months...
Hi All, I am currently on my third dose of Remicade (sitting getting my infusion as we speak) and was wondering if anyone had any experience with hair loss while receiving their infusions. Currently,...
Tell your employer. I was diagnosed the day before I started a new job. I was in a serious flare and was so sick for months prior (fortunately I was unemployed at the time). I was honest and open...
Thank you FlowersGal! I'll check this out now....
Thank you for all your suggestions. The issue with staying on Canasa is for 10 pills I paid $300 and I can't afford to stay on them. I wonder if there is a generic I could try. I can ask the dr. that...
Two weeks ago I started to experience blood in my stool and more urgency than normal. I called my dr. who prescribed me 10 days of Canasa suppositories. I started them that evening and throughout the...
I'm in the same situation. My insurance wouldn't cover Lialda and I'd have to pay out of pocket until I met my deductible. It was going to cost me around $1000 for a 3 month supply. I begged my dr....
I drink 32oz of water with about two-three tablespoons of ACV with the mother and a splash of some type of sweetener, normally maple syrup. I drink the mixture Monday - Friday at work but not on the...
Honestly, I don't know if this will help you or not but the only way I can take a probiotic is if I take it at night, right before I go to sleep. If I take it during the day or once I wake up I have...
Thank you all for your help. I will bring all this up with my dr. in two weeks. If she's still not helpful I'm going to begin looking for a new doctor who will hopefully put me on the right path. I...
Ipoop - It depends on the day. Sometimes I range from up to 10 bms per day, mostly in the middle of the night and in the mornings. I'm very sick in the morning, mostly for about an hour or so after...
notsosicklygirl - the 1mg prednisone has done nothing, my dr. told me it was an error and has reissued me a script for 10mg. which I'm to take 3 times per day. I was normally getting up between 2 and...
Ipoop - I am on Lialda. I added that to my original post. I'm not sure of the dosage, she mentioned upping it to four pills per day but on my visit summary it still says take twice a day. Also, she...
DBwithUC - I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis after a colonoscopy. They did biopsy 10 abnormalities in my intestine but found them to be normal. From my understanding my dr. prescribed me with...
Thanks for the reply, hateuc. I forgot to mention that I am on Lialda. My dr. has me taking that twice a day and I'm supposed to be on it for at least one year. I will write down what type of long...
I was recently diagnosed with UC, as of almost 3 weeks ago. My symptoms have only semi-decreased over the past few weeks. I am still currently very sick in the mornings but OK throughout the day...
