I got some response from both Remicade & Simponi but neither has been good enough to get me into remission. I haven’t been able to stay off steriods on either so I’m not holding out much hope the 2...
Thanks for your replies, I really appreciate them. I was feeling pretty desperate yesterday and they helped. I went back on 40mgs of pred this morning and I already feel lots better. That stuff...
Last colonoscopy in June said moderate inflammation in ascending colon (mild through the rest), but I wasn’t having any symptoms then. Last few weeks things have taken a major turn for the worse so...
I’ve been on Cortiment about 4 days now and still bleeding and feeling sore. This is the first time I’ve been on it and I’m not sure what to expect. Pred usually kicks in within 24hours for me and I...
It does look worth a shot, my vet has been very impressed with it but it’s obviously quite unknown. I did a search on the forum and the only thing that turned up was something in the Lyme disease...
Has anyone tried palmitoylethanolamide (PEA)? Was it any good? My vet gave me a pamphlet on it, she said they were discovering how effective it was to treat pain in animals (my dog has arthritis). In...

Thanks for your reply, I haven’t heard of isatis cooking but I’ll give it a go if the bleeding doesn’t stop. For now I haven’t noticed any blood for 24 hours so I’m starting to feel more confident...
Thanks for your reply, it has been really Informative. It’s my rectum that’s been giving me problems for the last 6 months as I’ve been managing to keep off loose BMs with the steroid enemas, but as...
Thanks for your reply. I noticed from your signature that you don’t take any immune suppression drugs, do you mind sharing how you treat the bleeding? It is usually easier to manage having formed...
Thanks for your reply. That’s what I’m hoping for. Sorry if this is a silly question but I haven’t had hemorrhoids before, what do you have to do to treat them? Or do they go away on their own?...
I’ve been a pretty bad flare last two years and on pred 18months of that. Once I started remicade I managed to get off the oral steroids and onto the steroid enemas but because I got stuck on them...
