Basically, it's just that really strong urge you get when you REALLY have to go. Almost like a cramp, occasionally it even comes to that. The best way I can think to describe it is when ur on the road and have to go, then after holding it for 30 minutes, you get a bit of a cramp. Yea, basically...

I'm not exactly sure if this is what difficulty urinating means. For about the past 6 months, there are some times when I can't start urinating right away. Usually, I get to the bathroom and it just immediately comes out. But now, I feel the urge to go, and it can take 30 seconds of waiting in a...

Definitely. As much as I hate this disease, it gave me a certain drive as well. When I was diagnosed a year after high school, fear of the future forced me to seek financial security. After I finished my Associates degree, I went on for my Bachelors degree in accounting and am now studying for...

It must just be different for everybody. I've never had an issue with the taste of prednisone (idk if prednisolone has a different taste). There might be a bit of a taste with it, but the tiny hint of anything I get is washed away when I take my drink. Flagyl though? Drinking even a few times...

I just got put on this again and honestly do NOT remember it tasting this bad 7-9 years ago!! I tried wrapping it in bread, which worked alright, just a bit dry, but I'm used to taking enough pills by now that I could deal with that. However, the fruit roll up idea was amazing!! I will never...

Thanks for the tip, I will remember to check into it in a few months! I think they have started the skype type things now, but I'm assuming there's one here. I was just moved to the city where my GI is located, so I do have better access now. It's the biggest city in South Dakota, roughly...

So, I decided to bite the bullet, started taking the Prednisone on Monday, and just hope this time works better than last. Don't get me wrong, it worked wonders last time! Within a week of starting it in 2005 I felt amazing. I still remember the first meal that I realized I was really better...

I did just move to the city where my GI is located, so I do plan to stick with things better now (I was 3 hrs away from the nearest GI before). Is tapering off prednisone a common problem. Should I be this worried about it? Or was I just unlucky? Lol. And thanks. I'm kinda concerned about...

Well, I understand it's logical. Prednisone works well... Too we'll, lol. I just thought pred was more of a last resort. I went in fully expecting Entocort. And my history of having problems tapering makes me nervous and reluctant to try it again. I mean, is the CRP really bad enough to justify...

Hi, I'm new to the forum. Brief history: Diagnosed in June 2005 (age 20). Pentasa was unsuccessful so I was put on 40 mg of prednisone (August) after dropping to 108 lbs. In December I was down to 5mg, legs and ankles swelled up, couldn't walk, ER, pred increased to 20 mg. 5 weeks later...
