Don't give up. It would a shame if you had to stop treatment over red tape.
Well I'm a stay at home mom. But when my bf gets paid we pay rent and whatever other bills we have then I take 100$ and hide it in our savings and it isn't allowed to be touched. Then whatever extra we spend. We're still working on it being our money haha because I still feel uncomfortable asking for money or just taking it and buying something. Its weird we live together and been together for 4 years its just weird to me.
Does anyone know how to interpret the patient id card you get after surgery? I am trying to figure out if the lens was specified correctly but the wrong lens was sent and implanted or if the lens was made correctly and the specs were wrong.
I want to make sure I don't get the old run around when I go back to the surgeon. The specs on the card are:
Model SN6AT5
Power 167.00D - 3.00 cyl
Length 13.00mm
Optic 6.0mm
Any help would be appreciated.
i was prescribed asacol 2x 400mg, 3 times a day for two weeks. after this time i was also diagnosed with CKD at stage 3a with a GFR of 53 and a creatinine clearance of 87.14ml/min.
i took asacol again for one month at a reduced rate of 1x 400mg, 3 times a day (3-4 tablets recommended for prevention of relapse).
then i stopped taking it for 2 months.
i took asacol again at 1x400mg, 2 times a day for 2 months.
A related discussion, <a href="/posts/Gastroenterology/Asacol-800/show/1876778">Asacol 800</a> was started.
I take asacol 3 times a day and it keeps me in remission. As for food, some people have triggers (milk, nuts, etc...). Best to keep a food journal for a while to see if you react to certain things. I eat pretty much everything, but for some reason I get irritation from roasted meats--almost instantly. Watch out for dairy aswell, as lactose is difficult to digest and can cause problems in a sensitive colon.
I have noticed that my asacol is not breaking down and is being passed in my stool! Is their a reason for this? What can/should I do?
does anyone have anthem insurance? Do you happen to know a anytime phone number for them? Trying to find out if they cover first trimester nuchal screening. I know i am on their lumenos hsa plan (savings account). I've tried calling the numbers on the back of my insurance card but it keeps telling me to call during regular hours but i need to know now for my appointment Monday. Thank you mommas!
I have a NEW G.I. doc who keeps referring me to a colonoscopy and an MRCP before she decides to do anything but I've had a flare-up of UC for a month and need some relief. Today I saw a whole Asacol HD tablet excreted and the G.I.doc said "that's ok--it's still absorbed." Ok--so now I must be reasonable and ask a question as how is it absorbed when NONE OF IT--repeat, NONE OF IT---is degraded at all? This woman doesn't get it. Anyway, what should I do now?
Is there a program where my son can get help with his Rx for asacol? He does not have insurance.
Are iol identification cards always provided to the patient for their files? Under what circumstances would these cards not be provided/available to the patient?
The idea is to get off the steroids asap but make sure the bleeding is stopped. The other thing is to increase the Asacol right away to get the UC under control and adjust her dosage to manage it. If she is still having trouble then she needs to treat it from both ends, so get her GI to prescribe an enema nightly with her regular Asacol orally but it's very important to get her off the prednezone. It's bad taking it continuously.
I interpreted this to mean that it is mandatory to provide the patient with an iol identifications card for their personal medical file. Is it?
I did request the Technis lens i.d. card but was told they don't give them out but that this information is on my file if I need it.
Thank you for your response.
He was switched from Asacol to Pentasa when his liver enzymes were slightly elevated. He was on a steroid for the first 2 years after he was diagnosed. He hasn't been on a steroid since 2006, when he was diagnosed with Diabetes. The Steroids are more for the flares, the Pentasa is used more as a maintenance drug. He is also on Purinethol, which is chemotherapy agent, to help decrease abnormal growths. Good luck.
The Gastro doc wants to treat me with Asacol, but I am suffering from CKD GFRaround 45%.......I told doc and he said ok entercort would be the alternative. that is also an issue as i am a diabetic I have read that just taking imodium and fiber works quiet often also pepto bismol is this correct, Immodium is what i have been using for the last four years any where from 1/2 a pill per day to 1 pill depending if I have not had a movement for day then i back off until I do.
Hi Doc:
So I've had stomach issues ever since I can remember. Bad cramping, diarrhea..etc. 5 years ago i started to get this discomfort in my upper right abdomen that came and went without any obvious reasoning and was certainly effected by my posture. Oh and i always, since I was 19, had this retrosternal pain that was explained as chondritis. This pain can be manipulted by me and reproduced by pushing or changing position.
My mothers debit card and credit card was stolen and the bank and the credit card company returned her money. It's worth a shot.
Hit some yard sales or thrift stores to find some more couches. Most of the time good furniture can be found for very low prices.
Remember, think positive. At least you have your boyfriend and your baby to comfort you. :) hope you get to feeling better.
