I am sorry to hear you had such a bad time with it exit4. Of course you're never the exception when it comes to winning the lottery... that is called sods law! My Dr did say it would take about 4 weeks to heal so I am hoping that things will start to improve in the next few weeks. I will take...

They gave me metronidazole and erythromycin stearate... Which have been making me very sick, but the doctor told me to stick out the full doses if I could. I have one more day left of taking them, but so far I don't seem to be feeling much better! It all seems a bit never ending sometimes!

Thank you for your reply. It's difficult to judge if something is wrong when you don't know how much pain to expect. I will ring my surgeon first thing tomorrow and see if I can get an appointment. How long did it take you to recover?

I had 2 fistulas laid open 3 weeks ago, everything seemed to be going okay until it really started to hurt this week! I went to the Drs who gave me 2 lots of antibiotics for infection (which in turn have made me really sick!). I have almost finished the doses and yet the pain feels no better! I...

I hope that is not true!! Although I need to get off of it completely first!!

Thanks for replying :) My consultant has just started to wean me off of them last week... I am down to 30mg!! But I have not been feeling particularly well so I am not sure if I will have to go back up again :-/ I have that too unclechucksucks! I find it hard to sleep and my skin is pretty...

I have been on 40mg of prednisolone daily for the last 7 months and have consequently put on a stone and a half! I seem to be fighting a losing battle with dieting and exercise! Has anyone else been successful in losing weight whilst on these steroids or is it best to wait until you are off...

Hi :) I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis just over a month ago. I have been on 40mg of prednisolone (along with various other medication) daily and at first my symptoms really seemed to get better. BUT now my tummy and joints still flare up constantly and to add to it I seem to have...

Hey :-) I am taking steroids, anti inflammatory tablets (mesalazine), a medication to prevent stomach ulcers and an enema medication at night time. I started last Wednesday so have been trying to adapt to all this medication! At first they seemed to be having an effect, my joints became a lot...

So I found the worst bit was the prep (that stuff is horrible!) I really struggled to get up at 6am to drink another litre... Made me feel so sick! The colonoscopy itself was quite interesting, I was watching what was going on on screen. From my colonoscopy I was diagnosed with ulcerative...

Hey, thank you both for your messages :) It is really nice to know that there is this community here of people that know what you're going through! I am definitely going to have sedation as I panic quite easily anyways so it is probably for the best! My mum will definitely ask the doctor if...

Hi there :) I am 22 and the Doctors suspect I have crohns. I have had tummy problems for a 2 years now and was too embarrassed to tell anyone. It was only when I got a bad bout of mouth ulcers that my mum took me to the doctors and my health has very swiftly gone downhill from there. I have...
