Yes but we're monitoring to make sure the sulfa is not causing the kidney issue (which has been corrected as of last test). Honestly, I'd rather listen to my doctor, who does this for a living and is...
@JM I'm so sorry about the diagnosis but it's great that your doctor is monitoring you. I hope things stay the same for you or improve! @subdued I went back on the sulfa because my doctor told me to....
I hope your new results come back good! Please do keep me updated. I went for my second test today and the good news is my results came back completely normal. Yay! Since we're not sure if it was the...
@zippy123 I've been taking the sulfa for 2 and 1/2 years. @aguywithuc: I don't know what the basis of his conclusion was, but he compared my blood test results from yesterday with ones from last year...
My sulfazalazine prescription costs me like $20 a month. I think there's a 120 pill count in the bottle. There was one month where I was between insurance so I paid out of pocket and was shocked to...
Hmm...that is strange. 6 months versus 2 days is quite a difference. My doctor said he wanted results before the weekend so we could figure out a plan of action right away. Uh oh. Now I'm thinking...
I've already stopped the medication, so I'm not ignoring my doctor's request or anything. I didn't mean to imply that. I'm just nervous and wondered if anyone else experienced something similar and...
Hi everyone, I posted here a bit when I was first diagnosed but I've been in remission now for a long time, probably since a month after my colonoscopy. I've been going to the GI every 4 months,...
Okay thanks. I took nyquil, so hopefully it will clear my nose without causing a flare. Ugh, getting a common cold stresses me out so much more than it used to before UC. Thanks for the quick answer....
I can't breath right now, I'm so stuffy. I think I went through this a few months ago but I can't remember the answer. Are either of these safe to take on UC? I currently take 4 sulfasalazine daily....
I have been on sulfasalazine since May of this year. First, I have absolutely zero side effects for the pills themselves. I am seriously in love with them. They are miracle workers! They also began...
I just wanted to say, I go to Mt. Sinai also and use Dr. Itzkowitz, and I adore him! My aunt has a j-pouch and goes to him too....
Hi everyone, I haven't been here in a while because I've been doing so well, I barely even remember that I have UC. I am still taking 4 sulfasalazine a day. I'm really nervous though because I'm...
If I'm about to take my last 500MG dose of sulfasalazine tonight, is it also safe to take Nyquil? I have a cold, and I can't breathe. I won't sleep without something to decongest me. Thanks!...
Okay! So I called the insurance company and apparently they have a policy where they will only cover 2 refills for maintenance meds and after that, I have to order them through the insurance company...
