Hiya, I took Malarone too when I went to Africa and was absolutely fine. I was told that it was generally the best one that had the least reported side effects so that was recommended to me...
Hey Krusty1, No, I'm sure you'll have full regrowth, perhaps it was just more noticeable at the front (that's where I lost the most hair) and sounds like the hairloss has slowed down so it'll...
thanks Sara, think I'll try to get an appointment and ask about these things, better to be checked and know for sure......
Thanks for your replies - I'm not alone!! Maybe I'll ask to get tested for anaemia...I am quite slim and small, but have also been in remission for 18 months... Another strange thing is that,...
Just wondering why I am SO SO COLD ALL the time!? No-one around me appears to suffer this as much as me, I first noticed it being really bad last winter and this winter is the same. I just can't warm...
I used to give blood and was surprised to see it stated on the information I had through a few years later that UC as a condition along with Chron's and some others disqualified me (that is in the...
I will sign the petition as I think we, in the UK, should receive free prescriptions for this illness. There are many conditions here that prescriptions are free for, when the illness is...
Not so sure about the middle east specifically but I travelled around Africa with no problem. Immunisations are fine and should not afect UC as long as they are not live vaccinations! As we are...
Just hoping to reassure you about the hairloss...for me it was the pred that caused my hairloss and I haven't noticed it particularly with the Imuran - that might be because I took steroids at the...
Really interesting to hear everyone's experiences with the SCD. Sorry blankslatejoe that your results weren't looking great - must be really hard after you've put so much hard work and effort into...
I think it makes a real difference, but possibly not for everyone. I'm currently trying to keep wheat to a minimum, along with sugar and chocolate (Hell on earth) and alcohol. I can clearly see...
Hi Donna, Sorry, I don't know what my WBC count was - I didn't ask?! But I know that since I've been on the Aza, my count has been in the normal range and then dipped for some reason - got the GP...
I work with kids too and so far haven't been getting sick hardly at all even when everyone around me is - how does that work? I did get a cold a couple of weeks ago and was scared I wouldn't be able...
Hi Mitz, It seems that is what they do over here (UK) unless, I guess, someone says they don't want to come off it. The last time I went in I asked how long I am expected to be on it and that was the...
It's definately the pred for me too. I've been on Asacol the whole time and now Azathioprine and my hair is not falling out, but every time I had a course of pred, I had 3 months or so of hairloss -...
This is interesting as I've been on Azathioprine for about a year and a half and it has worked great for me too. My doc has said that I can try and come off it on the two year mark. Obviously I'm...
