MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

I was diagnosed in August of '05. This spring my colonoscopy showed no signs of MC. I still react if I overeat things like popcorn or salad. I had violent D when I was first diagnosed and then reactions to some of the drugs (Asacol and Colozal to name 2) caused me to spend a lot of time on the couch...

Thank you for the reminder. I have a cousin and friend who are both struggling with breast cancer.

Gloria,
I hope you have an absolutely wonderful birthday and may this next year be a better one for you.

Thanks for thinking of me Tex. Yes, Robin and I were in the mountains of New Mexico when the fires broke out. Being that far away we knew it wouldn't do any good to hurry home. The fires got within 10 miles of our house but no closer. We live just north of Bastrop. Since we've been home (just over a...

Hey Mars,



Hope you are partying like there is no tomorrow. May this birthday be the best.

Joe, When I had my colonscopy I took a probiotic for about a week just to rebuild my system up. With all the antibiotics that has flooded your system, it might not hurt. I know there are mixed reviews on them. The one I use (as recommended by my GI is FloraQ. I had to order it. I couldn't find anyon...

Dear Polly,

I just returned from celebrating the life of my 94 year old Aunt who passed late last week. I understand the pain of watching a loved one make that passage from this life to the next. You and your family will be in my prayers.




Jan

Polly,

May you have one of the best birthdays ever.

Jan

Dear Joe,

I am sorry to hear that you had this setback. It's even worse that Nurse Nettie can't be by your side to help you recover.

You remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Jan

Tex,

Sorry I missed your birthday. I hope you had a very special one.

Shirley, Last summer in the mountains of New Mexico we had problems with black bears. Fish and Wildlife told us to take in both seed and hummingbird feeders every night. They also issued "rubber" bullets. If the bear became persistent, it could be shot with that. It would hurt but not woun...

As some of you may remember, I cannot take any statins because I have that "rare muscle pain and weakness" problem with all of them. My Dr. put me on Niaspan over a year ago. She wanted me up to 3 grams a day. I have never been able to make it about 1 gram. If I go higher I break out in ug...

Hi Andrea, Welcome to this site. It's really too bad that you had to find us but hopefully you can find some of your answers here. I can't specifically address any of your questions. I will tell you I was diagnosed with a large gallstone (no symptoms) after I had a couple of liver test results come ...

Thank you for the birthday wishes. I did have a good birthday and a lovely day with my DH.

Jan

Barbara,

I hope your 'puter problems are solved by now. I love the new picture of you and Mr Lou. What a great looking couple you are.

Hugs,
Jan
