MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

I hope that everyone has a safe and happy 4th. We are staying home since our pool is finally done. My son has an auditory problem and does not like any loud sounds so we will watch the fireworks on TV.

Hopefully I won't have any of my own "fireworks."

Love,

Rose

No More Muffins, First Welcome to the board. You have found the right place. I get nauseated all the time. Not every day, but most days, especially in the am and the pm. I just think of food and sometimes I fell like I want to barf. Now when I was on Entocort I was nauseated 24/7 and due to the s/e ...

Joan,

Happy Anniversary. I wish it was for something else other than cc. Sorry to hear that you are still not doing well. I am in the same boat, so hand me an oar.

Love you girl,

Rose

Scooter (love the name),

Welcome to the family. You have found that right spot here.

Love,

Rose

Tex,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I don't know how to use the emoticons, but you know we all love and adore you. You are awesome. I hope that you have a very special day.

Love,

Rose

Courtney,

Thank you so much for the wonderful post. It is really hard not to feel guilty and my family knows that I did not choose this (I would not wish this on anyone), but it is hard just the same. I will keep your words in mind.

You are a true friend in deed.

Love,

Rose

Courtney, I had the same s/e from the Entocort and that is why I had to stop taking it as well. My new GI wanted me to bring the dose down to 3 mg a day and I still had the same s/e. It was so scary, I almost fell down the stairs I was so dizzy. I was always leaning up against the wall if I had to s...

Courtney, Thanks so much for the support and the prospective from a childs point of view. I always feel guilty when the kids have functions or field trips at school. Then there are the vacations, which I am unable to take and get togethers with family at the holidays that I can't go to. It is just o...

Courtney, Thanks, I had a problem with tuna previously b/c I was eating Bumble Bee which had soy in it (not the gold can). Now I only eat the Starkist low sodium albacore tuna, it only contains tuna and water. I know it was the raw veggies, but my kids were happy and with all they put up with b/c of...

Jill,

No, but I exercise like you. I run over 24 miles a week and bike over 90 miles a week (both indoors mind you). Now that I think of it, I have actually lost weight since I have been on the stuff. I started to lose weight about 4 months ago.

Rose

Tex, No it was not that. I know what caused the last night fright and it was my own fault. When we got to the Hilton in GA, we went to the restaurant there and the kids wanted me to eat with them instead of me eating yet another can of tuna in the room. So after looking at the menu, I ordered a vegg...

Hi Everyone, I am back. It was a scary trip, but I made it down and back. Going down was tuff, but DH stopped whenever I needed to (or else). I did not take anything either. It all went pretty well except for last night. I went through 2 diapers and got absolutely no sleep. I have been up since 11:0...

Jill, I took Buspar a while ago as well and it worked in the beginning, but then I needed to increase the dose and when we tried I started having panic attacks. I started taking Effexor about 4 months ago and it is doing the trick for me w/o any problems. I feel that it definitely helps with my anxi...

Thank you all for your support.

Maggie - I already have them packed. I forgot to put them on last night and had a surprise this morning when I got up (I can't believe I forgot to do that).

Anyway, this is my first trip since the cc got really, really bad (over 2 years).

Love,

Rose

Well, tomorrow am DH and I are leaving for Florida to pick up the kids from my In-Laws (they have been with them since Sunday). It has been a nice week w/o them since it is the first time we have been apart from both of them since my son was born (12 years). I just hope that the D will hold off. I a...
