donating blood I have been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and have been taking asacol and immuran. Can I donate blood while taking these medicines? Thanks Sam

I'm home now. They weren't giving me any new medication. They gave me the same ones I was taking. Whenever the prednisone ran out of my system I would begin to have bloody diarrhea. They gave me lomotil and it helped the first day but not today. I requested to leave and they let me. They weren't...

I feel as miserable as if I was at home. When I don't have the prednisone in me I feel like crap. I use the toilet so often its not even funny. I can't do it anymore. I'm requesting for the doctor and I'm asking to be checked out. I'm done. The hospital has done nothing for me but waste my time...

Hello everyone. Thanks for all the support. So the ER took me in immediately and I didn't have to exaggerate my symptoms. Guess I was doing pretty bad. They ER doctor got a hold of my GI and my GI recommended I stay the night. So I stayed and I'm here still. They're not giving me any food. I've...

Thanks everyone. I'm currently sitting in the waiting room at the ER. I've tried contacting my GI with no luck. I've left several messages. Hopefully the ER doc can help me. Wish me luck. Thanks for all the support.

I was told by the pharmacist to take all the pills in the morning. I'm going to spred the 60mg out today. I just took 30mg. I'm going to take the next 30mg in the afternoon. Hopefully, splitting it up won't hurt me.

I finally heard back from the stand in doc. He is requesting I up the prednisone to 60 mg a day. Also, he wants me to get an ultra sound for my liver. I'm scheduled for the ultra sound tomorrow morning. My blood tests seems normal except for my liver is going through something. They're...

thanks shazamataz. ever since being diagnosed ive been doing plenty of research and most sites say if a person is having more than 10 bowel movements then its an emergency. i honestly swear ive been having at least 20 everyday since my flare.

i am back and i dont think im getting any better. i havent spoken with my GI yet. hes on vacation til feb 22. im scheduled to see him feb 24. i contemplated going to the ER last night. i called Kaiser's advisory nurse and explained my symptoms and she advised me im not in an emergency state and...

Thanks! I don't really remember what happened after the scope. The sedative worked really well on me. I recall the doc saying he wanted to speak to me afterwards and all I remember him saying was that I had ulcerative colitis. After that, the rest is a blur. I've just been waiting for the...

Hello, I'm back. My account was deleted because they thought it was spam. I had my colonoscopy this past Monday. The procedure went well. The doc says I've got ulcerative colitis. My biopsies should be back within 7-10 days. Then I'll meet with the doc to discuss a game plan. I can't wait to...
