Sigh...I tried Lialda for a month...the headaches were insane! My doc switched me to Asacol...my body wouldn't absorb them. So, I'm on my third med...Apriso...$248 for a one month supply! I don't see any real difference with anything so far...
Last November, I had another flare that lasted 4 months (I never lost a pound even though I was eating very little). The doctor quadrupled my dose of Lialda, and again more weight gain around my stomach and nowhere else. This is very frustrating. I have always been a very thin person and do not like looking like I am pregnant when I am not! Has anyone else had this issue with Lialda. How about knee pain? Itching? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am currently taking lialda 2 capsules twice a day. I basically stopped taking the lialda because it made me feel worse than I already was. My question is is there a reason why the lialda makes me have pain in my gut. Are there any other new meds out there of UC? Are there any new surgeries to cure UC?
I started taking Lialda in August, 2008, and took it (3-1g tabs once per day) for 5 months before I got better. However, I am not sure whether to credit the Lialda or the Flora-Q I began taking after three months into my treatment.
I have lymphocytic colitis so this may not pertain directly to your diagnosis, but I hope it helps.
s for the last 5yrs and am on 5mg of Prednisone/day as well just being switched to Lialda 2.4gms/day (from Pentasa 4gms/day) one month ago. I was started on Famvir today-500mg tid. I am leaving for Hawaii on Wednesday and am scheduled to swim with the dolphins on Thursday. I have completed my first full day's dose of medicine and will continue until the prescription is completed. I am then staying on a maintenance dose of 250mg/day until I can get the vaccine in 6mos at age 60.
hi there yes i have uc and bowel sounds are quite normal for me as soon as i eat? then i have to go on the loo !!
I don't know what meds you're taking but often the drug companies have assistance programs and will provide you with discounts and even free medications. Years ago, I was between insurance coverage and couldn't afford Lipitor, and I just had to have my doctor fill out a paper, prove my income, and they covered all the expenses.
However, I noticed many of these new hairs starts falling off and my hairloss amount increases again. I am feeling needle prickling pain on my scalp too. There is lots of white-yellow stuff coming off my scalp too.
On my recent visit to my dermatologist, he diagnosed that I have scalp irritations due to Minoxidil.
My doctor gave me Elomet Lotion (Mometasone Furoate) to apply on the whole scalp twice daily now.
Will Minoxidil damage my hair follicles?

I interpret the problem to be hair loss, and you are concerned that that reason is due to retained testicles or thyroid? Retained testicles can become cancerous in older dogs and cause hairloss due to increased hormone secretion, although that would be unusual in a 2 year old dog. The treatment/prevention for this is to surgically remove the retained testicles. Hypothyroidism can also cause hairloss on the trunk, is diagnosed by blood testing, and treated with lifelong thyroid supplementation.
I have had for several days now facial pain more on the right side and traveling pain throughtout my body. I wake up feeling great and as the day progresses I start to feel run down, fatigue, my face starts to hurt, my lips hurt sometimes, then my head will start to hurt like it feels like its burning inside, travels in my toes, fingers, arms, legs, feet, hands and this will last for hours. Then I will be fine for a while and then it will start all over again. I do have UC as well.

Does you wife use birth control or did she just stop using it? Another cause to consider is autoimmune hairloss....is there any psoriasis or crohn's or vitiligo or anyone with hairloss in the family? As you can see from these posts, the causes of hairloss are many: hormones (incl. thyroid), medications, birth control, stress, iron deficiency, genetics, autoimmune, etc. First you'll have to find out the cause (not always easy), and in many cases, it will regrow eventually.
I am hoping that your doctor prescribing Armour is a good sign that he will be willing to treat you clinically, by testing and adjusting Free T3 and Free T4 as necessary to relieve symptoms, rather than dosing you based on lab results only. Many of our members, myself included say that symptom relief required Free T3 in the upper third of its range and Free T4 around the middle of its range.
