MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Anyone know if Asacol can be ordered from Canadian pharmacies? I had a reaction to Entocort, so I am now on Asacol. Since I changed insurances the normal $40 I paid for a month supply is now $100, just curious if I could get it cheaper from Canada. I have stopped taking it for now, but feel things g...

I am one of the odd ones that had a neurological reaction. My left arm from mid-forearm to my fingers went numb. It started after taking Entocort for 10 days. It took probably about a week and a half for it to go away. I am now taking Asacol 3 x a day, and it's working pretty well. I loved Entocort,...

Anyone done this testing rather than Entrolab? Differences, besides blood vs stool. I had a friend who did these not for MC, but another stomach issue. Side note: I was the one who had an allergic reaction to Entocort (hand went numb), I have been able to control things for the most part with Asacol...

Thanks for all the messages. The numbness seems to be getting a little better, either that or I am getting used to it. :wink: Tex - I was tested for celiac, negative. Althought after reading over my test results I found out they only took 1 biopsy for the celiac and then only 2 in my colon. I was ra...

I started entocort 9mg a day 2 weeks ago. On Tuesday my hand went numb. I have since stopped taking entocort via recommendation from my doctor. I was wondering if anyone else has gone through something similar, how long did the numbness last, and what medicine did you try next? I am pretty bummed ca...

I just started on Entocort on Saturday (9mg per day) and am wondering how long it generally takes people to feel better. My D is better but things are still loose, but I've been nauseous and my stomach has ached. Guess I hoped it would make me feel better instantly....I know unreal expectations. Tha...

What did your doctor recommend you do once you were diagnosed? I was told to take fiber, did not help, only made it worse. Just trying to get a grasp on what I should be doing? I am thinking of changing doctors, perhaps he is not educated on MC. Also, my symptoms seem to come and go, does anyone els...

Anyone on here from Colorado? I live in Parker, which is south of Denver. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions of a good GI who knows more about MC than my current GI appears to.

Thanks!

Finally, I am not a hypochondriac. There is something wrong with me, or at least there is a reason for what I've been going through. I have had the typical symptoms for over 10 years and I am only 34. Are there other younger people on this board? I don't mean to sound negative, but from what I've re...
