Diarreha/Bleeding

Thanks happydays for responding. I had a hemmoridtectomy in 2005. When I think about it now, my surgeon thought this was my problem when I told him I was bleeding and going to the bathroom all the time. I had bad ones at that time. It was not until after my surgury and my symtoms got worse again that he really examined me and had me in for an emergency colonosgopy. By that time I was considered on a scale of 1-10 to be about an 8 with ulcerative colitis. I could tell he felt bad and he told me it was everything I said it was. He just thought I had hemmorids, which I did but he did not investigate further. Now I am under a new GI for maintenance for UC.

My symtoms too like your in my first memo above were mild at first but getting worse. So I called yesterday and now I am on Predisone 40mg. He wants me to call in 2-3 days if the predinisone does not help. I have never taken so much medicine in my whole life. Can you tell me what I should expect from predinisone?

Colazol (9 a day)
Rowasa Enenma (1 nightly)
Predinisone 40 mg (daily)

Thank you so much princesa.... I will check the book out for sure.  I'm just on my second day of prednisone.
