I am on Humira and received my 1st shot of the Pfizer vaccine 1 week ago. No issue but a sore arm like I get with the flu vaccine. Next shot in 2 weeks. I would actually like a slight reaction to...
I just received the Pfizer shot yesterday. I am on Humira. I have a sore arm like I do when I receive the flu shot. Otherwise no issues. I have read about both and they are almost identical....
Same here. We are not prioritizing health conditions until 1C. I am only receiving one because I am a teacher....
Thanks - I am getting the Pfizer vaccine and since it’s 3 weeks apart it’s more difficult to space. I asked my Doctor and he said there is no known interactions either but they did say sometimes...
I am supposed to get the Pfizer vaccine in 2 weeks and I am on Humira. Did anyone’s Drs say to space out your biologic and vaccine?...
I am still being careful. I am on humira. We don’t eat out. We do delivery or pick up. I pretty much order everything I want/need. But that is similar to how I was before. We have hung out with 2...
And this study looked at a bunch of meds and risk factors and found tnf alpha inhibitors may be helpful....
I met with my oral surgeon yesterday and he said in the ideal world I would wait to start humira until I was fully healed but he doesn't have people get off humira for a tooth extraction and most of...
Thanks - I am crossing fingers for no adverse affects because it was horrible. I did get my Humira yesterday but I have an appointment with an oral surgeon tomorrow because I have to get one of my...
I actually am suppose to be getting the Humira today. Was shipped to be delivered today....
I am going to be starting humira soon. I just had a colonoscopy and it still showed mild/moderate inflammation. I am on the highest dose of Apriso and I take a nightly mesalamine enema. I tried 6-MP...
I was diagnosed with mild ulcerative colitis 3 years ago. The 1st year we tried a lot of things (Lialda... Apriso - which is what I am on now) and then a month of Predinisone. After the Pred I was...
These were my first results in June 2016 CECUM, BIOPSY: - COLONIC MUCOSA WITH LAMINA PROPRIA LYMPHOPLASMACYTOSIS, FOCAL ARCHITECTURAL DISTORTION AND CRYPTITIS 2. COLON, RANDOM BIOPSIES: - COLONIC...
Undifferentiated was said and it meant that they didn’t know if I have ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s colitis. They have done biopsy’s and blood tests and biopsy’s have come back with markers for...
I was diagnosed with UC June 2016. Had my 1st flare September 2017 (now diagnosed undifferentiated colitis) was on 3.6 lialda and suppositories for the 1st year. After flare and new colonoscopy...
I wonder about budesonide also. I have no symptoms on it either but it is a steroid so I don’t think they want you on it long term....
Same thing...I have gotten this the last 3 Years...manly before my UC diagnosis. Sometimes the tickle makes me cough until I almost throw up. I have acid reflux but it is pretty well controlled so it...
Uceris which is brand name budesonide correct? I wondered about wether Imuran would do the same thing. My GI dr is confused with my case. He said the colonoscopy showed mild inflammation and was...
I was on 3.6 of lialda from June 2016 to August 2017. When the school year began this year I started a flare. I had another colonoscopy that showed some mild inflammation high up in the colon. Dr...
I am a teacher and have been off school for almost 2 weeks and have been having a lot less issues. I find that when I am working I have my worst time from 5 to 8 am. I have a 45 minute drive to work....
I have fought GERD for 8 years and when I am having a bad acid reflux day I will hiccup. Reflux meds...staying away from caffeine, chocolate and spicy. Though you probably are already staying away...
I have only had 3 scopes so I am pretty new to this but I think the anxiety and prep are the worst think about the after. I just remember some really good sleep....
Could it just be that it took the increased lialda and budesonide 3 months to fully work? I went up one pill of lialda and added budesonide mid September....
I didn't for the 1st 2 weeks either. I hope I am wrong about it because it was starting to work after 2 weeks. The plan is to get off of it through the holidays and try half a dose and see what...
I figured...disappointing because after 2 weeks on the 6 mp I was having less issues. Could drive places without having to stop....
Spoke to nurse she said stop taking 6 mp. She said this can happen and she is talking to my dr about next steps....
Thanks - yeah flu test and uti all fine. Will talk to regular GI today. It stinks though because colitis symptoms started to calm down. I am only on 50 mg. Didn't really want to take anything...
Has anyone got a fever with 6mp? I have been on it for just over 2 weeks. Tuesday night I had chills over night but I didn't think anything of it. Wednesday morning had a 101.8 temperature. Had...
I am new to UC but not to weaken immune systems. The obvious stuff everyone is saying. Other things that my ENT actually helped me with...gargle with salt water or original listerine but the thing...
Thanks everyone... crossing my fingers this helps put my fully in remission. My doctor has done 2 scopes in the last year and a half and said both times my colitis is mild but it did spread. He...
Ok then is it an issue to start when you have a cold or should I wait?...
I think you are right. I know it is an immunosuppressant and I just started with a cold today. Does anyone know if it's ok to start? I cannot call anyone until Monday. Just nervous to start and want...
I have been on Lialda 4.8 and oral budesonide for 3 months. Put on this for a flare. Helped my diarrhea became very soft stools with some mucus...no blood. I had days were I would still go 7 times in...
I was on prednisone while pregnant because I was having recurring miscarriages and they thought my immune system was killing my pregnancys. I took it from 4 week until 20 weeks. I had twins neither...
Iamcurious - my doctor said I shouldn't have to stay on 6mp - maybe a year at most depending on how quick I respond....
I spoke to my doctor and I am set up to do some blood tests and if everything comes back how they want it I will be starting 6mp. Anything I should watch for or expect?...
That is what I thought. We will see what the Dr. wants to do. He keeps saying mine is mild but in my mind if it was spreading on 3.6 of Lialda the Lialda alone wasn't going to help. He was willing to...
I have only had suppositories no rectal enemas. Would they help if it is at the entrance of my colon...the Cecum...That is where my ulceration currently is. The rectum area cleared up with just the...
Oral Budesonide...
I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in June of 2016. They did a colonoscopy and found ulteration at both ends of my colon (rectal and cecum)but mild. They doctor then had me do some blood tests...
