Thanks, guys! It just started in the afternoon this week, usually just in the morning, it it is driving me nuts. I’m fine now, things go back to normal eventually. I hate this drug!...
As I have been tapering pred (down to 22.5 mg from 40) I have noticed my heart starts racing around 2 pm every day for an hour to 90 minutes. It used to do it about an hour after I took it, but has...
That’s great! Congratulations!...
Stay at a higher dose a little longer and wait for the imuran to kick in. It stinks, but that’s what I did. So far so good this time around with the taper (knocking on wood as I type). I have been on...
Truth, especially the mental part. People think I am exaggerating, but it is really some for of PTSD that we have on top of the illness. The whole article is great....
It does make things hard, hang in there and listen to your body, if something feels off, don't feel bad calling in and reporting it to your care givers....
My younger son gets this from time to time. I totally freaked out, but it seemed to always happen after an illness of some sort and when he eats certain foods (or drinks any kind of juice). Because...
That scared me half to death the first time I saw that! You can pour hot water in the toilet to melt the wax from the suppositories. It doesn’t have to be too hot, just body temperature!...
I don’t know how much it helps, I do take a powdered collagen supplement on an empty stomach every morning (Great Lakes is the brand). Bone broth would be another great way to get the collagen...
I stayed on 50 mg for two weeks, then had bloodwork to make sure it wasn’t harming my liver, kidneys, and to check white cell counts. Since it came back all clear, we upped to 100mg. I’m still...
Thanks for the advice. I met this new doctor and let's say I will not be going back to this practice any time soon. The doctor saw me for all of 6 minutes, barely answered any of my questions, spoke...
When I had to make the switch to a new doctor because mine is retiring soon and I was in the midst of an epic flare up I ended up with a GI in the group where my retiring doctor practices. However, I...
Hmm, that is good news, but stinks none the less. Would it be worthwhile to try Canasa during the day and rowasa at night?...
The thing with sfRowasa is that it doesn’t have a preservative, no metabisulfite which is in regular Rowasa. If they are still white or tan, I think they would still be good, but if they are dark...
I have a miserable headache, but I blame it on the storm system blowing through at the moment. I decided to take 27.5 of pred again today, I felt well yesterday and i do think imuran is helping, but...
