Lialda savings card

I didn't receive a letter but it doesn't surprise me since it finally went generic although the cost billed to my insurance is still astronomical....

Pain killers -- severe pain after tooth extraction

I agree something with codeine in it is fine to take. I've never had a problem and have had multiple dental surgeries....

Are All 5-ASAs as LARGE as Lialda??

I'm not a huge fan of the big pills either but Lialda go down pretty easily. I used to take the bigger pills with milk as it seemed to coat things a bit and made them easier to swallow....

3rd image taken during screening, abnormal?

I wouldn't be concerned. It can just be she wanted to get a different angle or one of the films just didn't come out great....

call back from mammogram

Sorry I have no idea what overlapped tissue may mean. Hope it ends up being nothing to worry about....

Should I be concerned? Please see addendum at the bottom of the report

Ok what it seems to be saying is there is some changes either new or larger areas in comparing this screening from your last mammogram and they will want to get more images....

new to forum, diagnostic mammo and ultrasound found large lumps

Wife diagnosed with BC...im scared, shes scared.

Sorry for the delayed reply, I'm away on vacation. I personally would want a mastectomy. But that is just me. Not spreading to the lymph nodes is great news!...

Hi, I'm new

Sorry that your sister will be going through chemo. I have a friend who went through it. It's not going to be fun that is for sure. Showing support and maybe cooking some meals to freeze or running...

Feeling so helpless / desperate

Sorry you are doing so poorly. Just remember for every horror story you read, there are plenty other success stories. With any surgery there is risk and possible complications. I'm not saying having...

Piles, fissures and rectal med.

Yes steroid rectal meds should not be used long term. I have rectal steroid supps and my GI doesn't want me using for more than two weeks at a time. If you have that much pain you probably do have a...

Antibiotic Question (Doxycycline)

I was on doxycycline when I had oral surgery but not for nearly as long. I didn't have a problem with it but I know others do. I think I had augmentin for an ear infection and then possibly something...

biopsy after follow up mammogram and ultrasound

I've had the second mammo and ultrasound and still needed the biopsy. It ended up being a fibroadenoma and we just watch it to make sure it doesn't get bigger and need to be removed. So far it hasn't...

What does this mean

So you've already had the second mammogram and ultrasound? If you haven't, I wouldn't worry just yet. I had to have this done a few times due to having very dense breasts. Ultrasound really gets a...

What keeps you in remission and how severe is your UC?

I was originally diagnosed in 2009 with mild to moderate left sided uc. Four years later it was mild to moderate proctitis with just a few cm of inflammation seen. After last scope nothing is visible...

Rowasa

I know that Lialda has a prescription assistance card. I used mine today and it cut the cost in half which is great until I hit my deductible and then only have co-pays. I don't know if Rowasa does...

Catastrophic flare after 5 years remission

Before I was diagnosed I had taken flagyl because I thought I had gotten some bug or something funny because I worked at a dog kennel. We had it on hand so I took some. It did nothing for me at all....

When should I go to the hospital?

I would only be going if I was in agony. When I was having 30+ BMS a day with blood I didn't go. I would however, put in a call to your doctor in the morning....

Proctitis

Maybe an enema would be better as it will reach further up? I only used suppositories when I was told I only had 3 cm of inflammation and that finally took care of it and now I use them 2-3 times a...

Any tips for suprep and colonoscopy?

I chase big gulps of suprep with a ginger ale chaser. Helps with the nauseous feeling of too much liquid and gets rid of the aftertaste of the prep....

Zantac?...an unlikely culprit.

Combine 2 Rowasa enemas to reach further?

Wow leave in for 30 mins?? That made me laugh. It's one thing to be unable to keep it in because your so inflamed and many of us have been there but to purposely only retain for 30 mins is just...

Proctitis

Ok so you haven't had a full scope at this point? That may be part of the problem. You may have inflammation further up that isn't being treated by those suppositories. I would at the very least ask...
