Good morning GamDevAlex. I can't give a lot of advice because I'm stilling learning also. But I can tell you how wonderful this forum is. Just to keep reading everyone's trials and tribulations, what...
Hi. Still in a flare. Have been since Feb. Some good days and some bad. Just started prednisone. Started with 30 taper to 20 etc. you all know the drill. I'm hoping this will be my magic drug to put...
I thought it may be just a flu bug or like it. No runny/stuffy nose but I know there are many different cold and flu symptoms. So possibility. Feel fine now. Just wanted to know if anyone else had...
Thanks for info. Never had a problem with Asacol but since I started enemas just those 2 incidences. Will ask about stool sample with GI....
Good morning all. Wondering if anyone else has gone through chills, fever, headache, from enemas or meds. Not all the time but twice now in the past three weeks. Lasts for a few hours then just a...
I am so happy right now. I did the enema and I held it in overnight. Anybody outside of this UC community would probably look at me like I was crazy to be happy about something like this. They have...
Thank you for the instructions. I should go into resources thread. Didn't think of it. Also thanks for words of encouragement. This forum is a life saver for me. Without it I would be in tears all...
Good morning. Talk about enemas, I find myself not able to hold it more than 15-20 minutes let alone an hr or 2 or overnight. How is anyone able to. Maybe I lay in bed and don't move???? Omgosh messy...
Soynomore, hi. Will do that. Give it a try anyways. Thanks...
Hi NiceCupOfTea. Thanks for advice. Going to try the enema. Have never done that so hopefully..... I appreciate all ideas. Maybe you're right Sin. The diet isn't doing anything right now. Going to...
Hi Sin. Thanks for responding. I've been reading everyday here on these forums and everyone makes me feel so not alone. Even not posting anything just the fact that everyone here is going through it....
Good morning. How long is long enough before going in to have flare checked. I go a few days seeming like it's on the mend then it comes back with the watery diarrhea, blood, urgency, etc. I don't...
I was diagnosed in late 2016. Like some I waited way too long to go in and have the bloody stool, mucus etc checked. No known family members have UC. I had lots of job stress for past 4-5 years and...
People are closed minded. Like everybody says, they don't understand. And to joke about it is the worst. I was in remission for over 4 months and was asked (by my sister) what do you think you have?...
Ipoop, I like the way you described it. I may be using those words 'I have an auto immune disorder...' for my family. They are the worst ones who don't understand and tell me to take some Imodium. I...
Good morning. I'm new. I have been lurking and reading for a couple weeks now. I'm 57 F just diagnosed with UC September 2016. GI put me on Asacol and I was great for 4 1/2 months. Then all symptoms...
