ks1905...excellent suggestion. I do that with my lialda.He had me on 4 pills and I went down to 2 but didn't change the rx, so it lasts longer. Still don't have it. My pharmacist sent out a search to...
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...
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...
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...
Thanks! I will call around to other pharmacies. It's just odd and no real reason is give. Soystud, thanks for the link. I've never seen that site before. You're kind to take the time to post that....
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...
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!...
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...
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...
Not boastful! It's nice to hear some good news on the forum. Thanks for reminding me to take my Vitamin D! Congratulations. Stay well :)...
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...
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!...
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...
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...
Dizzy, Your apprehension is understandable. However, the fact that you made this post shows that you know you have to get on it and get your colonoscopy. Often our imagined fears are worse than real...
