Hi all,
Background...flared after 15 yr remission trying to taper down meds. Was experiencing bad pain, constipation, bloody mucus, the runs, eczema flare, canker sores, the whole the yards. After reading from you experts, I got on the 4gm 100ml Pentasa enemas. Only then did I start feel better.
I saw my GI yesterday, he wants me to continue the enemas at my discretion. He thought staying on the Asacol was best, and I found out the price was very similar to Pentasa. So less stress for me. Years ago, I was told to space out the meds, but now I can take 3 twice a day.
I really think My memory has declined so much in the past 10 years, it's alarming. I wonder if it's the disease. I couldn't remember I had several refills for the enemas, and got another prescription.
Because of the serrated Sessile Polyp, he wants me in for a colonoscopy in a year. Not surprising. I asked for Pico Salad next time...hoping I can keep it down.
I so appreciate the caring, informative people on this forum. You have and continue to make our lives easier to deal with.
