MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thanks everyone! Steve is doing well. Instead of going back to work tomorrow he is taking it off for another day to relax, then he has Friday off for Good Friday. Still bruised up and there is a portion of his lower back that really hurts and has been sending some pains down his legs when he sits, b...

Hello Everyone, I have been glancing at the board everyday and seeing how everyone is doing, just been pretty busy with some things going on. I went and did the pill cam today. The battery stopped on the pill an hour before I was to go in and return it, so I just called ahead and made sure I could g...

Barb,

That was the same reaction I got-- do I laugh, cry or shake my head in astonishment.

There I whine when I have had to sit on the john for 45 minutes--- It is really hard for me to grasp the reality of 2 years!

I like that "The Pillcam time is right"-- now if I could get a nice new 2008 Lexus to go along with it I would be one happy camper!! I am going to go out on a whim here and I am picking 9 hours this time-- just because I am having a good week :grin: (but watch I say that and tomorrow it wi...

Mars, I am so sorry to hear this, I know it must be very difficult on Trisha and it adds to it with worrying about the two children during this time as well. I know it will not make up for it, but will Trisha be able to talk with him through the computer or phone? I have a friend that was in Iraq an...

Barb,

It sounds like Kait is an extraordinary person! I really do wish her all the best. As for you--- I want you to go and enjoy your cruise and have a blast!!

You and Kait will be in my thoughts and prayers!!!

Just got back from getting my hair done-- thank goodness! Looks absolutely wonderful. I needed to get my layers put back in. I went with all over color this time instead of high lights and it looks wonderful. Also went from blonder hair with highlights to a nice chestnut brunette color. Looks great ...

Erin, Yes, I know how you feel with knowing bad side effects could happen and you want to feel better, but not really looking forward to the side effects if they do. The first time I was put on Pred in December it was within 2-3 days I felt it was in full gear. I believe it was day 4 I saw the Doc. ...

LOL Erin, Brother and I were sitting here making up a bet to see who comes closest to getting the correct number of hours until it comes out. First time took 6 hours. His bet is 8 hours this next time-- I told him give me an hour to think about it and I will tell him how long I think. Pretty sure hu...

Hey Erin, 30 mg is a good dose to start at. I know what you mean with wanting to feel better and I am so hoping this helps you feel better. I will answer your questions, but please don't let it freak you out as my body could react differently than yours (also difference in dosage). On the higher dos...

Hey Everyone, GI's office called today and the nurse said they need me to redo the pillcam next week. I asked why and she said even though all the lights were flashing there was a malfunction in the equipment. So Monday need to do the prep and then Tuesday go and swallow the pill cam again. Wonder h...

Hello Erin, I am sorry to hear about the UC. Yes, Pred. is certainly stronger then Entocort and everyone does react differently to Pred. What dosage will you be starting on? I would not worry as you said about it until you see how it affects you. One piece of advice I can give you is depending upon ...

Polly-- I checked out Dr. Fine's website and in the next few weeks when I get the money I am going to order the testing for this to check it out and see. Right now I am willing to try anything to check this out and see exactly what is going on. Thank you for the link to the website :grin: It is earl...
