I'm on 150mg (I weigh 172lbs or so) and have been for about 4 years now. A couple months ago my liver enzymes came back super high with my bloodwork so my GI wanted me to stop drinking (hey it was a...
Anyone else here having an issue filling their Lialda prescriptions? I've been trying since last week and it is still on backorder at my local CVS. Walgreens and Costco both have nothing as well. I...
Yo everybody, it's been a minute. Sorry I haven't been as active as I should be. Things have been going well for the past couple years after tapering off pred in Jan 2017. The beast has finally...
Interesting. I was on it a couple years before I was diagnosed with UC so I was unaware. Good to know though!...
If it's any consolation I've been on azathioprine (imuran) for a couple years now and aside from the rare nauseous feeling, I don't have any other side effects. I know long term that may not be the...
I had to take them in my stomach when I had an unrelated DVT illness (another story), but only for a few weeks. Could you not switch to coumadin or something instead of the shots?...
@UCinGV man that's a brutal plan. I guess you probably hit your deductible pretty early then? I've been on name brand from the beginning (9/15) and am hesitant to switch since it has been working for...
Thought I would chime in as well. I have been on azathioprine for a couple years now with only the occasional vomiting (couple times a month if I take it on an empty stomach or something) as a side...
This thread is a bit old but ya it's going to take awhile for it to clear up. I have been off pred since January of 2017 and I still have back acne. It was definitely worse when I was on it and I...
I am currently on aza and it is working wonders so far (also knock on wood). I had two rounds of pred after Uceris didn't work so my GI switched me over to aza about a year and a half ago I believe....
I have been on 150 of aza for over a year now and I still get nauseous sometimes. It'll usually be like an hour after I take my meds and last for another hour or so. Especially if I am hungover or...
Good to know, thanks guys!...
Mine also filled the generic instead of brand and my GI doc had to specify name brand only as well. I'm a little hesitant to make the switch since things are going well for me right now even though I...
Damn. Mine shot up to $300 for three months with my insurance and now that the pharmacy savings card is no longer a thing. Generic wasn't too much cheaper and I'd like to stay with what's working for...
Logged in to check if somebody had posted about this. Went to fill my prescription today and it said "coverage terminated". Called the number on the back and sure enough, they had a message with what...
I went to fill my Lialda today and it came out to $80 (for three months). Usually it's more expensive with that so I thought they had already applied the pharmacy savings card provided by Lialda....
I'm really surprised Blue Cross doesn't cover it. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield and even with my new plan from work this year it still was only $200 for a three month supply. I looked into the...
Unless you have abdominal pain, mucous, or blood in your stool it just sounds like a bad bout of the runs....
Like others said it really varies person by person. I have no issue drinking alcohol (or coffee) except for the fact that if I indulge too much, my Imuran will make me nauseated. Although that can...
I've been on AZA for nearly a year now (150 mgs right now) and I still get nauseous sometimes. It definitely depends whether I'm hungover, if I've eaten, etc. I will happily take a couple hours of...
Last year I was paying $60 for a three month supply (4 pills a day), and my company switched insurance. Now it's up to $200 for a three month supply (mailed or local pharmacy). After paying that...
Like iPoop said, every person is different. Something that works for someone may have no affect on someone else. Can't stress that enough. With that said, I was prescribed aza after my last flair...
Hi there! I was only pred for nearly a year before finally getting off in mid-January. During that time I was prescribed azathioprine which I'm still on now. I definitely noticed weight gain while on...
Afternoon, I don't post here much but thought I would chime in. I've been on it for about a year now. I just tapered off of pred about a month ago and I haven't really noticed any side effects aside...
Just chiming in...I started Uceris a couple weeks ago to try and curb my latest flare. However it didn't seem to be doing much nor did I feel any side effects. My GI yesterday decided to make the...
Hey thanks so much gardener! I'll call my GI in the morning to see if I can get a prescription for an enema. I have indeed seen that a lot on here and it seems to help a lot of people....
Hello all, I've been lurking these forums since I was first diagnosed last fall with UC, however this is my first post. After going to the ER with severe D and abdominal pain, I went through the...
