Hi thanks for your replies. Im on 50mg a day I never even thought nor was it suggested that it could be the 6mp. I assumed it was the withdrawl from steroids as I had it last time. Ill have to keep an eye on that, if im still fatigued in y weeks when the anti depressants kick in ill go back and...

Hi, I finished my second 10 week course of pred last week and I'm on 6mp aswell. I have been taking 6mp for 11 weeks now and think its working as Ive not had any d (yet) since Ive come off the steroids. I have had the worst fatigue the last 2 weeks and now its even worse. I can't seem to do...

Yeah thats the same with me Ive only started to put weight on the last couple of weeks. Ive never had a double chin until now! I lost 2 stone altogether but that just made my bmi at 24.9 so any weight gain will make me overweight again. Im starting to think they were quick to stop the...

We do have the same story! I would have finished the pred this week but I had a bit of bleeding midway through so they told me to stay on 4 a day for an extra week. Just want to be off the pred now, gaining weight is my main reason, im not a skinny person and seeing my clothes getting tighter is...

Ive been on the steroids since june when I got diagnosed and really want to come off them. They seem to be taking a 'wait and see' approach with me. I would love to not have to take any medication but I have a feeling that once the steroids are finished I will get all my symptoms back again. The...

Hello, I have been taking azathioprine for nearly 3 weeks, this last week I increased from 50mg to 100mg and its made me so poorly. I feel like I've had flu. Ive not slept for 3 nights because Ive been waking up constantly shaking and freezing cold one minute then dripping with sweat the next...

Well Im still hungry all the time. Going to weigh myself tomorrow just to torture myself a bit more! Only 2 weeks left til Im off the pred now, phew!

These posts have made me chuckle! I love tuna sandwiches, the tuna being made with half mayo half salad cream or egg mayo but with salad cream, both delicious! Im amazed to read the amount of stuff you don't have in America I thought there would be sections of the supermarket to buy these...

Thanks everyone, Ive had a really bad evening, just cant stop eating, nothing is getting me full. Its the strangest feeling! I love food and eat just for the sake of eating sometimes but this is like REAL hunger, stomach rumbling, mouth craving hunger. All I can liken it to is having the...

Thanks. Im going to ring in the morning and see if I can go down another pred pill tomorrow. I was taking 4 pred a day for a month then after having a bit of bleeding last week they told me to stay on 4 a day instead of tapering to 3 so from tomorrow I should have been on 2 a day then finished...

Thanks people, the forum is a very friendly place!

Thanks, its good to see other people feel the same - if you know what I mean! I'll just have to get used to being a fatty again, at least I'm alive and have energy for my son now! We are going camping next week and I keep thinking 'ah I won't have to go to the loo every half an hour!' instead...

I'm gaining weight and don't like it! I've never been 'thin' my whole life. I've always been slightly to quite overweight. Since September last year I've lost 24lbs and felt great about my body for the first time ever, at my lowest I was 137lbs so not under weight by far for my build. Now...

Hello, Just an update, rang IBD nurse this morning and she asked me to go straight in. Shes given me prednisilone enemas to have for 2 weeks and I have to ring on monday to let her know if the bleeding has stopped or not. If not will book me in for a camera to check whats going on. She also...

Thanks again for your replies. Ive been in a bit of pain again today. Still bleeding. I think it is a little tear of a hemmaroid. Going to wait til tomorrow then give them a ring. Ive got to go to the hospital for my weekly blood test on friday anyway. Thanks

Glad I found this post. I suffer really bad with this, not being able to take a deep breath. I self diagnosed myself with anxiety and tried not to stress about it any more. Since being diagnosed I have been a lot better. I think with myself it was the stress of being ill. Plus I am constantly...

He's great isn't he?! And hes from Bradford - finally something to be proud of!

Thanks for your reply. I just feel like I'm bothering them by ringing. Thats just me though probably. My next appointment is September. I'll give it a few more days then see if it goes away. If not I'll give them a ring.
