Hi, Been in a flare for 2 years now and am still currently trying to find medicine that works. Tried humira and entivyo for 6 months each and believed that it wasn't working. Same thing everyone told...
Hello, I have been in a flare from my UC for about 2 years now. In the beginning i was going about 10 times a day. As i started taking medication I got it down to an average of 4 times a day....again...
Thank you guys for the responses and stories. I am currently seeing 2 doctors now. And will officially start entyvio August 13th. My old doctor wants me to stay on all the medication I'm currently...
I stopped the antibiotic a while ago because I too thought it was odd that I was on it. Especially after having so many stool cultures done. The doctor believed that the specific antibiotic I was...
So the enemas didn't really work. They helped the first bowel movement of the day, but the last 2 or 3 were not good. Doctors are now putting me on entivyo. What is the percentage of people that...
Hi again, So I have been on the hydrocortisone enemas for about a week along with all the other medication listed previously. The enemas seem to been slowing the flare even more as I am going about 3...
Hi, Uceris did not work at all for me...

I am not taking an rectal medication, no enemas or anything like that. The UC is only left sided I believe and there is no inflammation anywhere else. I have been on prednisone at varying doses for...
I was told the same thing. This was 5 months ago. I am now still on humira and prednisone and have since added many more medications. Doesn't seem to be any sign of improvement. That is just me...
I was diagnosed with UC about 5 years ago and am currently in my first horrible flare. This flare has lasted 8 months and doesn't really seem to be getting better. It seems as though every month I am...
Just wanted to update, I started methotrexate, 25 mg weekly. In total I am taking methotrexate, 750mg balsalazide, weekly humira 40mg, 10mg of prednisone. This seems like a lot of medication. I am...
Thank you guys for responding. My doctor has not switched me to remicade because it is my understanding that I would need to be in the hospital to take those doses. I am in college currently and that...
Hello, I am a 21 year old male diagnosed with UC about 6 years ago. In that time I have never experienced a flare as bad as this, or any of that matter. It all started last June when I was studying...
