It was only a few minutes. I was ask how I've been doing and I told her about the continue bleeding and bathroom trips as well as the lower leg pain around my ankle. Might be due to blood lost again.
So she wanted to give me prednisone again but I told her I don't want to take it because of the side effects and what I had to go through the last time I took it. My other GI doctor didn't want me on Prednisone and wanted to see me so he set up a appointment 4 weeks earlier. So I went 4 weeks without any help to control the bleeding. This is after being on 60mg for 4 weeks and a blood transfusion of 4 blood bags.
So I was given Cortenema 100mg/60ml rectal enema.

I can't find much info about this drug online lol
I ask about side effects but there is none.

And that was that. Took a blood test and was out.

So I have another appointment with my general doctor next week and sometime another one with Hematology clinic which I don't know when.
No medicaid. That's another story.

Bathroom 7 times so far.
Probiotics coming soon whenever my brother gets it for me. I'm so broke.
Next GI in 4 weeks.


I guess that's the typical GI visit.

Oh I was told Nixume (that purple pill drug) was because i was on prednisone. and also so I wont catch something.... i forgot what it was but it sounded like crap to me. I haven't read on the net about people with IBD taken that.
 
I think I should start smoking cigs! people in their 90s done so all their life and are still alive lol I heard that story a few times.

Now that I think of it, where was I bleeding a year ago... Because if it was the same thing now, why only Pentasa.
Ive read about some of the side effects of Cortenema but its good compare to Prednisone, the evil drug lol

I have to wait until next week to get the drug.
$240 to see the doctor each time... That's easy money for them. I really don't like how short the visit was for that amount. I don't see myself going to the doctor long term.
