Women problems and Bladder issues with UC

When I was in a bad flare two years ago I had bladder issues as well. I took an over the counter medicine from the drugstore for bladder infections. It really helped. My theory is that when your UC...

Can't get AZA refilled..it's on backorder..major shortage!

ks1905...good point about the people who need aza for organ transplants. It is totally unacceptable that this is happening. What was also bizarre was that my nurse said I was the first patient to...

Can't get AZA refilled..it's on backorder..major shortage!

GOOD NEWS! My doctor's nurse was able to locate some Imuran (the name brand for aza). Walgreens is getting it in tomorrow. I'm hoping my insurance company doesn't give me a hard time about not using...

Hi All, I haven't posted in ages. I went back to work full time this summer as I sent my second child off to college. I just had my colonoscopy last week and I am fully in remission! No inflammation...

Is reflux common among people with UC

I have GERD too. I take the generic prevacid from Costco. I have taken it every day for 5 years and it works great. If I forget to take it, my body reminds me after my first cup of coffee!...

notsosicklygirl-- need some information on 6mp

Yes, I did take pred. I was on it for 5 months! It stopped the bleeding and really helped, but was obviously not a long term solution. I gained 25 lbs, didn't sleep I was up to 60mg a day. Once I...

notsosicklygirl-- need some information on 6mp

I've been on Imuran for a little over a year now. It's similar to 6mp. I'm on 175 mg and am in remission! The imuran starting working after about 6 weeks. We played with the dosage a lot. My doc put...

can kettle corn start up a UC flare up?

I'm with Annadee. Popcorn is intolerable for me when I'm flaring. Now that I'm in "almost remssion" I have tried it. If I eat just a little, I'm fine. Too much will give me blood. IMO, it's just not...

When do you take your meds? What do you do if you forget?

Thanks everyone! I'm taking them now. I think I'll move my meds to the kitchen again. I didn't forget to take them when they were right in front of me!...

My turn!

Hi, Well, good for you that you're going back tomorrow. I am curious, however, about the bathroom issue. If you're not supposed to use their bathrooms, what are you supposed to do? It seems...

When do you take your meds? What do you do if you forget?

Lately, I've been forgetting to take my Lialda and Imuran until late morning. I like to eat before I take them, so I don't take them first thing with my prevacid. Today, I totally forgot and it's...
