Prayers/Mantras for healing

I hope this is okay to post here. But, can any of you share a special prayer or "saying" you repeated to yourself while sick in a flare? I know this will help with stress and refocus my energy. May...

Ulcerative Colitis
Prednisone Dosages

I still haven't had any improvements. I was beginning to have a feeling of tightness in the chest so the Dr. said I should go down to 20mg. I am only 99lbs right now anyway. So, 40mg was probably too...

Flaring while breastfeeding and not happy with my options...

Hang in there! I just had to make the decision too. I started a UC flare (15+ times a day) 2 months ago when my son was 5 months old. I was breastfeeding and continued until my Dr. upped the pred to...

SCD- What in the world is Dry curd cottage cheese?

Ah, I didn't realize it was the same thing as Farmer's Cheese. I did ask for the cheese at Whole foods in Orlando here...and they said they don't carry it anymore. :-( I'll try Publix. Thanks!...

Urgency - how to deal?

Ulcerative Colitis
Prednisone Dosages

I know a poll is maybe not the best way to get advice, but my Dr. never called back Friday and I am on vacation. I am in the middle of a UC flare, going 15+ times a day with lots of blood and all...

Worse with Hydrocortisone enemas?

Thanks! Dr. got back to me right away. He said he discontinue the enemas. He wants me to start on predisone. :-( URG! I remember the horrors of predisone from my first flare in 2006. I know canasa...

Worse with Hydrocortisone enemas?

I started flaring 5 weeks ago and immediatley began taking Lialda (2 a day) and canasa. Things did not get better, so Dr. just prescribed 100mg hydrocortisone enemas (minues the canasa). I'm on my...

Nausea- what should I do?

I think I might have a flare coming on. I have been extremely nauseus all day and food does not look appealing at all. I felt this way before my first flare. I think I might be bleeding, I can not...

your personal Asacol daily dosing schedule

I take 2 Lialda in the AM (1 pill is 1.2g=3 asacol pills). So it would be 6 asacol. If I were flaring, or feel something coming on, I usually up it to 2 in the AM and 2 in the PM. No side effects...

A out of system

How long does it take for Imuran to completely get out of your system? Do I need to ween? I have been on 100mg of Imuran for 7 months and am going to ween off of it. I don't agree with why I went on...

Lialda

I am anxious to start Lialda. I picked it up today, since my asacol was gone. I was shocked at how large the pills were, but I guess it only makes sense since it is slow release. I am currently...
