Horsewhisper , Thanks so much for the response. It's nice to find support, although it makes me sad to see others here because I know they are having the same problems I am. I think I am going to...
Hi All, I had a seizure almost a month ago after three years of being seizure free, and since then I get the "odd" feelings daily. This never happened after my other seizures. With the other ones, I...
Carla, I am so sorry to hear that! I went three years being seizure free, but I had one about three weeks ago. My doc increased my Lamictal. Anyway, I can totally sympathize with not being able to...
Hi All, I have been tapering down weekly. I am on 10 now and will go down to 5 next Thursday. I really thought when I started tapering down that the side effects would start lessening, but I think...
Thanks for all of the support! I don't know what I would do without this place. Belski - would you mind calling them and yelling at them for me? Maybe I should have my mom call - she's pretty hacked...
Kim, I am so sorry that you are feeling this way! It stinks feeling like there is no other option as far as your treatment. It's almost like having to make a decision of which is worse, and that's...
Beth75, Thank you for the reply! That's a good idea on calling my primary. He actually does LISTEN! I don't know what it is with doctors not wanting to admit that an action they have taken had an...

Hi All, My Gi's office called me back and they are determined that the Pred had nothing to do with the seizure. They want me to stay on the 2 week at a time 10 mgs at a time taper. I told them I...
Thanks for the replies! I really appreciate it. I started the Imuran on 6/21. It's interesting you said that about the Lialda. I noticed my symptoms were better if I took two instead of the...
Hi All, Okay, still haven't heard back from my GI. But, I am calling again as soon as I get off of here. I've got a dumb question about pred and tapering. My GI started me on 40 mgs for two weeks. In...

Hi All, My neurologist called me back today, as he has been out of town until today, and he upped my seizure meds. So, I feel good about that. I called my GI yesterday and asked for a faster taper...
I went once a week for about three months and noticed a slight improvement in my UC. Going once a week got pretty expensive, so I stopped since I wasn't seeing anything drastic. One thing I think it...
Disbooner, I couldn't take Asacol either for the same reasons, it worsened my symptoms. The only 5ASA drugs I have been able to take and see results from are Lialda and Canasa suppositories. The...
