Thank you...
Thanks for the replies. I guess I shouldn’t be afraid of different meds if they are going to control the inflammation. As far as my symptoms, I have been having more sudden urges to go then I use to....
I post on another board here but my friend was just told she has celiac and she just had blood work done and a stomach ct scan. She never had a biopsy or any other testing. I have a relative that has...
Hi all, I have a scope next week and I’m hoping things look well. However the last time I had one two years ago the doctor had wanted to switch me from my Apriso to Imuran. To me that just seems like...
I had been taking Asacol HD for a few years (and regular asacol before that) with no problems. My insurance changed and with that came the news that the new insurance won't pay for Asacol. They...
I know two people with exercise induced asthma and that sounds just like what happens to them. They use an inhaler right before they exercise, but both have been checked out with the doctor regarding...
Thanks for the replies. I take the Asacol HD three times per day so they are pretty spaced out. I was never put on any rectal meds because my UC invloves the entire colon. I was of the understanding...
Thanks for your replies. Yes, I wanted to know if enemas/suppositories would help "in addition" to the Asacol I am already taking. I don't want to start Imuran, but I need something else to get my...
I currently take Asacol HD and I feel fine, but the doctor said my last two blood tests showed more active inflammation. He wants to put me on Imuran, but I want to see if something else will help. I...
No I'm not on rectal mesalamines. My whole colon is affected, so I'm guessing that is why they didn't require me to use those....
I was on asacol for ten years with no flares. Last year when asacol was no longer available, I was switched to Asacol HD. Since then I am not the same. I'm not really flaring, but I don't feel as...
Anyone have good experiences with tapering off prednisone. I heard enough of the negative,so I am hoping to hear some success stores to inspire me....
I came out of two early flares after I was first diagnosed by just having my asacol increased. I haven't had any problems with flares in almost ten years until now. I was just put on Prednisone and...
For me I have looser stools and have them more often....
Thanks for the replies. I tried to change my profile to explain more, but I guess I should just explain here. I have had UC (entire colon involvement) since 2002. Have been on asacol since. Only had...
I was put on 8 weeks of prednisone. I am on 40mg for one week and I'm suppose to taper off each week by 5mg until I am no longer on it. All I seem to read are the bad stories about being on it. I...
Hi, I read a post you wrote about pregnancy and taking asacol. You mentioned that you did not breast feed because of being on asacol. Just wondering if your doctor felt that you shouldn't because of...
