MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

I've been off of the cymbalta, buspar, ultram and flexaril for 10 days now and just took my last dose of Zyvox this morning. Even though I'm still having diarrhea, bloating and low grade temps, my abdominal pain has improved-which makes me way more optimistic about things. My pain Dr. is starting me...

I was on Cymbalta 5 years ago and didn't have the abd. pain and GI issues that I have now. I have been on and off SSRI's over the past 12 years and proton pump inhibitors too. I suppose it is possible that these medications have been triggers. Seeing as how I'm off these meds throughout the course o...

LMAO, thanks Tex, I also wondered if my doc found his license at the bottom of a cracker jack box. I'm really hoping to get into Cleveland Clinic soon, but knowing my luck it will take a month or two. I'm also concerned about the CT scan, considering I've had about 5 or 6 in the past year or two, an...

I will have to look into MRT testing. I was really banking on the prednisone. I hope its not too costly. Got lots of bills I'm behind on and oddly enough my cat is having bowel issues and I will have to cough up the cash up front to get him worked up. I wonder if there's a link? Any who... I'm on cy...

So I went to see my GI guy today and got nowhere. I have VRE again and he is reluctant to do a colonoscopy due to the fact that he didn't want to spread VRE anywhere else or take the risk of my wound coming back open (I had a hysterectomy for endometriosis-the source of the VRE). I can understand th...

The whole alkaline/acid diet concept validates what my chiropractor told me...that the reason I was having so many aches and pains, bowel issues, Gerd, and fatigue were related to the fact that I consumed to much acidic foods. He told me I needed to consume less carbs and meat, and eat more fruits a...

Thanks Tex. Just to throw it out there, my cultures came back negative at the time my incision opened and my WBC was elevated, and evidently my lymphocytes have been elevated for about 3 months now. I was just told today that my culture that was done on Tuesday came back positive for VRE. And I was ...

I'm wondering if anybody else on has had high lymphocytes in their blood in addition to lymphocytic colitis. Evidently I had LC 10 years ago with my first colonoscopy, at which time a benign polyp was also removed. I did nothing different as far as diet goes and took no medications for it and it wen...

Pay no attentions to the questions I posted. I looked up HSP and got some answers

I guess you could consider me a high sensitive person. Although not all the time, I can pick up on a person's mood, feelings, thoughts as well as the vibe of a room full of people. It sounds crazy and often times I wonder if that does make me crazy, considering this is not your every day normal expe...
