    Weird poo

    Hmm, I'd say call the Dr if it happens again. It could be that your body isn't breaking up the pills the way that it should

    Sulfasalazine erm?

    so far i think my Dr is crazy, the pred and the sulpha hasn't done anything but it's nice to know some people that have been on it. I had no clue what I had been put on it for really.

    welcome, and yea, i agree a good attitude is the best thing for this. I gotta say tho, it can be hard to keep at times. The prep is the worst and yea, everyone here complains about it, I was in bad shape on mine also. I am not looking foward to the 2ed one that I am due for either! Nice to see...

    Flaring 2 months after resection

    Out of all the meds I have been on the Entocort worked super well, but that stuff is really expencive when you pay out of pocket. When I was on 3 a day tho, I didnt even know I was sick, but I couldn't keep paying for that stuff :( If you have good insurance or a script plan of some kind, talk...

    Advice needed please..

    I take 40 mgs of pred and 2000 mgs of sulfaslazine a day and to be honest, I am still in alot of pain, pain is my main issue. It is very sensitive all over my stomach area to the touch also.

    New meds and a strange doctor's visit

    I am the complete opposite of you. Pain is my main symptom or at least the one I tend to notice the most. Mind you I have a very high pain tolerance so when I say it hurts.... to most people they would be in the ER screaming bloody murder... as of now I am at 38 hours - no sleep.... it doesn't...

    OMG wow, your heart mumor is waaay different than mine then. I dont think mine has anything to do with a hole in the heart, it just skips beats or as my Dr says makes a gurgling noise but over all is nothing to worry about at all. So sorry to hear all that. Sounds like everytime you go to the Dr...
