Been on the pred for about a week, and the colon is doing better. The Cipro and Flagyl are done today, and I'm worried that they're the only things keeping the nausea at bay. Still haven't gotten in...
They did vitals and blood work at the hospital, most of which are okay. The scan showed just mild inflammation with fatty stuff around the colon itself. That's where the "fatty replacement of the...
Doc cancelled scope because of pred nonsense. At pharmacy now. Went to ER this morning because I couldn't keep anything down. That doc gave me zofran and antibiotics but DIDNT explain what "fatty...
Did the stool thing sending it off today. Can now pick up pred script but am now throwing up even just water. Thought it was getting better because I managed some food last night but apparently not...
Is it ever a sharp pain? The gnawing sounds about right though. My disease has been active this whole time, which is another issue entirely, sigh. He's worried the Entyvio isn't doing it's job, but...
Wild story about imuran: it was SUPER BAD in March. Like 6mmpn was something like 16000? (But he told me my labs were fine and took two weeks to tell me to reduce the dose-another thing I was...
Going to do the test and Prednisone when I get home from work. Family and I have agreed that if I keep throwing up, the ER is an option but other than that I think we're going to do the stuff my doc...
Haha I actually have an appointment scheduled with another GI early in august whose reviews specifically praised him for his listening skills (among other things). I've been mostly happy with this...
Called doc. He wants to do stool tests, and will put me on a Prednisone taper. He's seen me twice since my foot surgery and every time has asked if I have restarted my imuran (I have). Honestly, I'm...
I plan on calling in the morning, I think, but he wants to do the scope this coming Saturday, so really it's just making it through the work week. But I had three "accidents" last week and just being...
I'm so frustrated. Thanks for your help, though!...
I've had UC for about 12 years now. I've been on Asacol, Apriso, Canasa, humira, and now am on Imuran and Entyvio. I had foot surgery in May and that doctor requested that I temporarily discontinue...
I guess what it boils down to is the waiting is making me crazy. I'm waiting for the insurance company, waiting for pills to kick in, not sleeping, trying to keep my anxiety and depression under...
All of your advice has been super helpful. I caved and called my doctor yesterday and he called in a pred taper. I feel a bit better, but I had another "accident" while I was out doing surveys this...
I guess I just want to be able to go to work this week and not lose my job. I'm aware that prednisone does the side effect thing with everyone, my doctor just tries to keep me off of it based on...
I have been on prednisone before, but my doctor hasn't tried it lately because I have had some trouble with side effects in the past. Normally I wouldn't consider going to the hospital yet, because I...
So, quick rundown. My uc isn't really all that severe so I feel kind of silly. >.> I've had ulcerative colitis for about eight years now, but I was off meds for a couple of years. Last year I went to...
