Long story short, birth control caused me problems and now I'm off it. I guess I had forgotten about a follow-up appointment. I'm almost better but not quite there yet. I'm wondering if I should just hold off and try out some supplements, or ask for Rowasa again. The first time I used it it didn't seem to do a whole lot, but I wasn't on it every night for more than two weeks. Or a suppository, because I don't know that an enema is really neccessary anymore.
As for my bms: sometimes I miss a day but not as often as I was while on the bc, stool is still usually softer than is normal for me and also lighter. I think I'm almost there. But my GI is never concerned about this, while I on the other hand, am, because I know my poop and that is not right lol.
I'm afraid that if I do ask, she'll say "no" or "why?". Psh. Like when I said I was going to stop birth control, and she had to ask why, seriously? (I was bleeding etc.)
Anyways, what should I ask for, if anything, and what should I be prepared to say if she says no or asks me a stupid question? If my temper gets the better of me if she says no I'm just telling her I'm done with her.
Thanks!

Rowasa. You have pancolitis as well and you want to keep that butt of yours as quiet as possible by treating flares earlier (rectally) and taper to a maintenance.
You haven't used them effectively yet....tell her you want to try using them for maintenance like twice a week or tapering farther to once a week, etc.
So, are you using them at this point? was it nightly for how long? did you stop abruptly?
Let us know how it goes with the doc.
Some docs think they rule....nah, it's the butt that rules!!!!

It was supposed to be nightly for two weeks, but I may have done that for three. Or four, it's hard to remember. I know it was more than two. Then since I only had a few boxes left I started tapering. I'm not using them right now.
If she tells me no I'm telling her I'm finding a new doctor and walking out. And depending on how mad I am, I may or may not tell her how to learn to put her eyeshadow on correctly.
