Merry Christmas to everyone. What a lovely Christmas present I have been given by going into another flare only 4 months after being off the steroids!! I think my Consultant may be going to try me on...
I have been off the steroids for about 2 1/2 months having been on them for about a 4 month peroid which I am really pleased about but I am so fed up with the weight gain I have had from them. I have...
Thank you for your reply and it's nice to know I'm not the only one. As always, it is another symptom or side effect of the illness!! I am a female and do use foundation, and lots of it at the moment...
I was wondering if anyone else had experiend anything similar. about a week after stopping a 4 month course of steroids I developed horrible red angry looking very dry areas around my mouth. This has...
I wonder whether anyone can offer me any advice on ememas. I started with a mild flare up at the end of August brought on I think by a stomach upset and I still have not been able to sort out...
I've noticed a few topics recently about enemas and wanted to add my own. I have just started with these enemas and don't have any success them with. I have tried them once before and gave up on them...
I was just going to post a similar question and have just spotted this. I last week completed a course of antibiotics (which I was very reluctant to take!) for a UTI and have started with a flare-up...
I have the joy of colonsocopy looming and will obviously have the dreaded bowel prep to deal with the day before. I have opted to try out Picolax rather than the Phospo-soda even though I have never...
Well I think my hair has finally stopped falling out but I'm almost too scared to say it incase I tempt fate!! It fell out last year from May until November/December time and I lost lots of it. A lot...
I have had hair loss since May of this year which I think was due to Prednisolone and it is now falling out very slightly. It also appears to be growing back as I have lots of spikes everywhere and...
I don't think I have experienced hair loss on Asacol!! Have been on it since 2003 and have only experienced hair loss this year but think it was due to the Prednisolone and being so ill. I agree with...
Hopefully somebody will be able to help me with this. It showed up on my last blood test a month ago that my CRP was up to 7.6 but I have been having no bowel symptoms. The Consultant asked me to...

This book sounds interesting. Can I ask what book it was as I wouldn't mind getting hold of one? Many thanks....
Does anyone know how long it takes Prednisolone to get out of your system? I was on them for about 6 months and have heard it can take around 3 months for them to be fully out of your system. Look...
I'm looking to start giving this try but can anyone recommend which system I use - there are so many different things to choose from!! I know I have read in a thread previously that you should use...

Can anyone recommend any Biotin supplements i.e. brand and dosage? I've had a quick look in the shops but can't find anyone that sells just Biotin alone. Many thanks....
I'm also on Asacol, 2 tablets, 3 times a day. It's just so annoying because I mentioned it to my Consultant months ago and he thought nothing of it. I'm not saying he could necessarily have done...
What a great site this is. I've a little look through but will have a proper read when I have time and am not a work!! I was just after a bit of advice from people though regarding hair loss. I was...
