Hi,
I'm a new member. I've been reading all the posts this morning about everyone's situations, and found all the information interesting. I have been on Budesonide enemas for around 5 years. I have moderate pan colitis. My GI has been bringing up the topic of 6mp for the last 2 yrs, but just am too scared to try. I get pancreatitis from the mesalamine drugs, so they are not an option. I know that the enemas only cover the left side, however, I have around 2 to 3 three semi formed bowel movements a day. I consider the enema to be helpful in living a productive life, as much as can be expected of a person with uc and spondylarthropathy(arthritis associated with uc). If anyone has been on this kind of enema for long term, then I sure would like to here from you about your experience. I was interested in hearing about any potential side effects..I have not really experienced any side effects yet--like a swollen face, etc. Thank you in advance
