BeatUC is a troll and a bully. I have her blocked but this forum keeps sending me emails every time she responds anyway so I end up seeing what she is writing. She follows me and quincy around the...
Just tried the Tums. They didn't do anything....
Thanks, clo. Yeah, I don't know if it has something to do with my UC recently or not. Woke up today with it but it's not severe at all. It's very mild right now, but it is still not a pleasant...
I'm not interested in that. Not a fan of that stuff. It's really not that bad at all, just annoying, and I was on here last night so thought I'd ask. Thanks all!...
Ginger does not do a thing for me, other than taste good. That's why I specified in my post I'm not interested in purported natural remedies....
I will try that next time, thanks....
Thanks. His office was always so efficient before so it makes me worry....
It doesn't sound like IBD to me and your symptoms sound incredibly mild. Have they mentioned IBS or what do your doctors think is going on? A lot of people get diarrhea from antibiotics....
Ok, thanks. That's ok. It isn't too bad right now, just annoying once in a while. I have all this Zofran at home, but don't even take it now because the constipation is that bad when I do, that I'd...
I don't think you are being a wimp. That sounds super scary! I really hope they can figure out a solution to this for you soon....
Are there any nausea meds other than Zofran that don't cause constipation? Zofran makes me severely constipated for days if I don't immediately start drinking Miralax twice a day. And this happens...
I don't think you're overreacting at all. I'm in the U.S., but if I had a test 2 MONTHS ago and hadn't been given my results, and then got blown off when I asked them about them, I would be livid....
I haven't noticed any gut stuff related to heat. The heat does make me have less energy but I think that's fairly typical for anyone. I'm ready for fall....
I hope the treatment works for you....
I doubt they'll do an antibody or trough test this early. I think they'd at least wait until your next infusion. Those blood tests have to be taken a day or 2 right before an infusion. They can't...
Sorry to hear. I've never had one. Sounds super painful....
I hope they get it resolved soon. Sounds like some BS. My doctor left the practice in early June. Never had any issues before but I had been told in early June and again in early July that my new GI,...
Lmao. My thoughts exactly. Please lock this one too. Thanks, mods....
I've been fine on the lower dose of Xeljanz. Have you tried the lower dose before and flared? It works for most people at that lower dose....
I hope they stop for you as well. Vivid nightmares can really disrupt your sleep and have serious affects on your waking life as well. I struggle with them on a regular basis but not the super vivid,...
Yes. I count any trips to the bathroom, even if only bloody mucous or small amounts of stool come out. Sorry the prednisone hasn't helped much. Are you on other meds?...
I didn't remember this happening to me, but I see I posted that it did for at least my first week or two on Remicade several years ago. It must not have continued for me or else I think I would...
Has your nausea improved at all? I found sometimes forcing myself to eat something small, like a few saltine crackers, helps me with nausea sometimes....
BeatUC: Thank you so very much for that informative reply. 😒 I feel very enlightened now. Poor OP's thread has been derailed to be completely off topic now so I'm done adding to that....
BeatUC: "omg what is this obsession with rectal meds???"" You started with the personal attack....
I think all they'd do in the hospital is put you back on steroids, but you could ask your doctor if they have any suggestions. Sorry you aren't feeling well still....
I've never had any doctor here tell me to use rectal meds. In the U.S., we have to bring them up to our doctors. Most of us here would never have even heard of them if not for this forum. The Op...
That made me laugh out loud. Ha. Not that it nearly killed you, but your sentence....
I thought beatUC was blocking quincy. Now they're here making fun of her again? 🤔...
A weird fetish? 🙄 uhhh, yeah, almost all people with UC have involvement in the last 12 inches... Beave speaks with such authority about something they are uninformed about. Rectal meds kept me off...
I Googled Colyte and it appears to be the same as GoLytely, the one I always request. Did it work better for you?...
It's a gallon, but I almost always get told I can split it in two doses (night before and early morning). However, I never follow those instructions because I don't want to wake up at 5 a.m. to...
I'm glad your symptoms have improved and you got to go home. I have known people like your family member. They can make life hell. As far as stool consistency, mine is often still mushy even in...
I'm glad to hear you're in remission. The Miralax and ducolax prep made me sick as well. However, I always do well with GoLytely so it wasn't the amount of liquid for me. Did your awful medication...
Yeah, that sucks. Why on earth would he ask about Celiacs? Your symptoms don't align with that at all. Did they even do a fecal calprotectin test? My bloodwork is almost always normal. They...
It's probably Stelara, especially if they are thinking possible Crohn's. Yeah, the "procedure abandoned" note makes no sense and sounds like some medical person needs to correct the notes but don't...
Good luck with your scope....
Surgery for Crohn's can be a lot different than for UC. None of the biologics worked for me and then Xeljanz worked. It would be odd for a GI to mention surgery at your point for UC; however, it may...
I still would've told off whoever it is at 17. I'm blunt and direct like that though. Regardless, you definitely should be able to express your needs and feelings! And yeah, that's really weird they...
Same here! My PCP even said that to me on my last visit. Lol....
How old are you? If you're an adult, tell her to leave. Problem solved....
That's good. I don't know anything about the platelet thing....
I hope I'll still get it for free when that happens....
Tenesmus is awful. I don't think constipation causes it, at least not in my experience. I would try to seek another opinion if you can....
Thanks for sharing that, Tonito....
Happy for you. It's been a great medicine for me and my boyfriend has also been in remission for years on Xeljanz....
I would go to a doctor to ask about an infection, not the piercing shop where you bought the earrings from. Why are they against you going to a doctor? They sound sketchy....
If you do a search here, you will find everything from people drinking their own urine to eating 100 bananas a day. Good luck......
That works. Now you won't have to worry about it....
I hate when they do scopes when I'm on pred. Like, why waste my time, now it looks normal and you don't believe how sick I was off the pred! Sorry, no advice, but a 4th GI consult isn't a bad idea....
