MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

So after being told I have LC, and being on steroids, that did not help, (for 6 month), then on another med, I cannot remember the name of it, it used to be used for high cholesterol, that didnt help either, now my gastro, wants to go down my throat and get a biopsy of my small intestine, to see if...

ok, good to k now, thanks Leah

thank you everyone for your great input. I try not to get down, but then for example i got a bad bad cold, and wow the D was awful, i bet i went up to 10 times a day. I have had this for a week now, and think i may go see the doc today. May be a sinus infection. I am just wiped out, nothing sounds g...

I have probably asked this before, but when us with colitis, catch a cold which i have, it is a bad chest and head cold, and boy have i been running to the bathroom literally holding my bottom to make it there in time. Is this connected to LC? I watched my nephew who was sick about a week ago, and o...

Thank you Julie, I have not removed anything from my diet, but guess i should try that. I have been able to eat anything my whole life, and I am not over weight, I have been very lucky. So to diet of any kind seems awful to me, but i should try it. The dairy part will be the worst. But worth doing i...

Brandy, I first started out taking 3 a day, 3mg, a piece, i think that was for 2 months maybe 3, now I am taking 2, same mg's.

So, I've been taking Endocort, (generic), for about 5 months now, It seemed like i was starting to have a few formed bm's as time was going on, but now it seems like things are not getting better at all, 4-6 bm's a day, totally watery. I just feel so disappointed, and i feel real tired after each tr...

Thanks Connie

I know this probably sounds like a dumb question, but with having LC, and then getting some kind of a mild stomach bug, would your symptoms get worse? Such as the diarrhea? Gas? I'm not sure what I caught, but for the last few days, i've had nausea, headaches, weakness. Then the LC symptoms kicked i...

I'm not on here much, and awhile ago, I asked if the tingling, sensitivity in my feet could be connected to LC, and yes it is. Ok, does anyone have any recommendations on how to get some relief? Thanks again

Leah,

I am on Budesonide, am now taking 2 a day, instead of the three. And I doubt it's an impaction, no other indications for it to be that.

Hi Sheila,

Yep, I think the cold sweats is from the cramping, it about makes me pass out. But thanks so much for letting me know that your in the same boat. It helps!

Maggie, Joe, Jean, thanks for responding, it just helps to know that your not the only one going thru these situations alone. And Jean, I'm right there with you, undressing, fan on me, wet washcloth to my face, it's not fun at all. And it seems to happen many times throughout the day when it does oc...

Now, that my diarhea has almost left, I am having such bad cramps and I get so hot, when i have a BM. I was driving a few days ago, and the cramps started, I got so hot, and felt as though I was going to faint. Drove as fast as I could to a rest area. I almost would prefer the diarhea, and not havin...

Leah,

I wrote the med name in the original post, sorry I dont have the bottle in front of me.
