Hey Jolanta,
I just got back from the Mediterranean. I was worried about the tours, too - with my truckload of drugs and awaiting a hip replacement - but I was fine. We toured Rome on our own, but...

Hey Jolanta,

Hi Ziggy, I also have Ulcerative Colitis and was diagnosed with Wegener's about 1 yr ago. I was diagnosed with colitis many years ago and had surgery to remove my bowel in 1993. I find Cellcept...
Went to my rheumatologist yesterday and she agrees that that I shouldn't have surgery on the ulcer unless the specialist suspects cancer. She will contact the specialist and discuss the situation.

Palmyra-
I have a history of ulcerative colitis but had my large colon removed in 1993. High bp but okay with meds. Sero-negative arthritis.
My meds are: Myfortic, Cipralex, Avapro, Amlodipine,...
Just googled bactrim and it's a sulpha drug - I'm allergic to sulpha. I do have lung involvement - just had a bronchoscopy and I'm clear of any other weird things in my lungs.
360mg myfortic, twice a day. I was on 720 twice a day but couldn't tolerate it.
80cc methotexate weekly
No bactrim
lmao! You guys are awesome. That darn prednisone!
So this ulcer should heal once I'm in remission?
The consult with the specialist cost me $165 and I even brought in the xray taken by my...
How do you know if the amount you've reduced to is not okay? I'm currently down to 10mg from 20 (decreased 1/2 pill every 2 weeks) and will see the doctor soon to get further instructions.
I have a lesion on my gum that I believe was started when I wasn't paying attention while brushing my teeth and used the wrong side of my toothbrush. :unsure: That was about 2 months ago and it still...
This is my baby, Lucie. She is a 6 year old Golden Doodle, which is a cross between a standard poodle and golden retriever. I adore her.601
It's over and done with! Yahoo! Wasn't anywhere near as bad as I was imagining. The doctor and nurses were great and the best part ... I didn't feel a thing and I don't remember a thing! Woo Hoo!...
:ohmy: Oh, boo! I don't want to feel anything. :scared:
Thanks, everyone! Great to know that you'll all be there with me ... with Jack in the corridor. 24 hours to go until it's done!
My issue is that it's just 'another thing'. Another doctor's appointment, another procedure, another drug, another this, another that. I've already been thru hell and back with ulcerative colitis -...

In 48 hrs it will be all over with. The countdown is on ......
I was wondering why I had suddenly have bags under my eyes, even though my allergies are fine and I'm sleeping sort of okay. Darn prednisone.
So no discomfort? How do you breathe with that scope stuck down your trachea? I'm not even sure what they are hoping to find when they do the biopsy. Just can't wait for Tuesday to be over with.
...
I'm scheduled for a lung biospy next Tuesday and I'm terrified to have it done. Can someone let me know what to expect? Many thanks.
Thanks for the welcome.
My meds were working - it was only kidney involvement and things were looking up. Until last week, when the CT scan said it was in my lungs. So, not near remission yet,...
Hi,
I've been lurking this site for a while and thought I had better introduce myself.
I'm a 52 yr old female and I was diagnosed about 4 months ago after having various, really weird...
