Stop, you will get mark banned and i'd hate for that to happen, i wear each of his insults with a badge of honour!...
anyone have the feeling that LowLead is now VanJordan in disguise????...
TAA, I think what quincy was saying and what I was saying as well is that over the year you have had a lot of support on HW to your queries. You have had a lot of help, input and suggestions. There...
Thanks LowLead....those dissenting members as you call them will not be missed. No need to update us on the issue....
That is all well and good TAA only there is no cure for UC. It has not been found and the real experts in the field feel it is a very very long time away. You are obviously still relying on Entyvio...
beave, did you have an absence of blood and mucus during your undiagnosed years that caused them not to think of IBD as the cause?...
I was wondering why the tone, temperature and correspondence on HWell had been so good over the last few days....
Say nothing Keith....hopefully the mods see this violation and ban him for good...
absolutely...just poking a bit of fan clo....well done for your post.....however it is a known fact that if you try Dr Pravda's anti-oixdant theory....it will also help your spelling!!!! ;-)...
I have tried these supplements for a long time. The idea of anti oxidant and UC is not a new idea and definitely not solely related to this Dr Pravda guy. All such supplements did for me was make my...
I would lay off the European side of things Van jordan. That is ill advised. European medical research and European healthcare systems are many folds better than those of North America. You will do...
does anyone notice that when you are flaring other blood markers, that on the face of it may have nothing to do with UC, go astray. Not so much that they are correctly high or low but more that the...
This is a post for a good while back which I found while searching HWell. I have exactly what the OP mentions here. My skin seems to be holding impressions for a very long time. Like the OP I can...
Sorry to hear you might be flaring Sara. Can cal-protectin results rise that fast over a couple of weeks. Also if you are on prednisone when you are flaring does that bring down cal-protectin...
Just wondering how many of us here have been hospitalized for our UC or CD? And if you were hospitalized did you respond to IV steroids or did you need rescue therapy from inflix or cycosprine or did...
Does it respond quite quickly, or is it a slow burner. Mine has moved from 35 to 580 over 3 weeks and my PCP said this must be lab error as I am not showing symptoms...
How quickly does you cal pro rise if you go into a flare. Is it a slow burner gradual increase or can it shoot up to a large number pretty quickly? Thank you...
Good to hear you are improving. My advice is to not go down the road of trying to focus on counter-acting the side effects of Entyvio. This will promote and maintain anxiety on your part. Instead...
damo123, that is an outstanding argument and reply on the matter. Thanks for posting this....
From my 10 years experience with UC I have this feeling that if you are in the beginnings of a significant flare that, in order to being to get better and for meds to actually start working you to...
I was going to ask a question on 6mp becoming less effective if you gain substantial weight. Amazingly is seems to also have been asked in another post this week! I'll post my question as...
Has anyone had trigger finger or trigger thumb as part of an IBD flare....not so much in general but moreso when you are flaring...is this a sign that u have active inflammation in the body?...
Cheers for the help from a newbie. Can a stricture be present with normal enough looking BMs? i.e. no blood or mucus?...
For those who have experienced a stricture with their IBD what were the symptom of the stricture? Did you ever have a period where the stricture was present despite having no blood or mucus in your...
IN a stubborn flare and was prescribed a 40mg course of pred over 8 weeks with 5mg per week taper. To avoid taking the pred for the full 2 months I've tried taking 40mg for 7 days and then stopping...
If you had inflammation in the sigmoid and left sided colon only with the rectum clear is there a particular presentation of daily BMs you would then expect. Perhaps no urgency, normal frequency as...
Thanks for the comments. I'm on 6mp but due to start a biologic early in New Year. I was on a course of pred and it helped symptoms but when i came off it they returned. Can I ask iPoop were you on...
What are peoples experiences with using Predfoam; a steroid in foam form. How far up will it get in the colon? (Thanks to those who offered advised to this newbie poster in my previous posts)....
I've been a UC patient for 6 years so its always assumed I am not CD. The colon bioposies showed quiescent UC and the CRP was normal. They did not do other scans. I just get the feeling something may...
Hi, Long time viewer of posts on here but only just started posting. I was diagnosed with pancolitis 6 years ago (I did have ilieitis backwash) but got into remission for 5 years on Imuran and...
Yes I agree that every time I fail the taper the symptoms that come up seem to have ramped up from the last time....
Hi, New poster here but read a lot of old posts and do some research. Question for iPoop (as i know he wrote previously on this) or anyone else who wants to chime in. Been in a light flare all...
Can I ask on this thread since so many who have surgery are commenting....did your surgery cure other complications of your UC too...such as joint,eye, fatigue and other issues?...
Hi, New to forum and have been reading up and searching on a lot of posts in last 2 weeks. Having a stubborn time with my UC at present. Keith, I notice you are on Stelera but have also had you colon...
