1070971 tn?1299614110 I started on Lialda in February 2009....gained 10-15 pounds within 3 weeks. I have always been thin, I didn't even gain weight when I was on steroids! I have been working out and watching what I eat, but I can't seem to shed the pounds I gained. I even had a flare-up this winter (I usually drop 10-20 pounds during a flare) and didn't lose a single pound. I can't find any information about Lialda and weight gain.
Avatar m tn 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...
Avatar f tn I have been on Lialda for almost a year and recently noticed hair loss. Since I am also bruising very easily, it could be more related to an underlying anemia, not necessarily the Lialda itself.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar n tn 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.
1269644 tn?1270486006 hi--i've been on lialda approx.6-7 months...better than the other i was on..sounds like uc..i was diagnosed in feb 2009..
Avatar f tn Ill give it to ya easy. All porn does is give you and erection, and masturbation just get's you off. As im sure most people will say its normal. I started right after I figured out what it was for. You dont need to worry on this nothing will fall off, and it wont effect really anything. The worst that will happen is a bit of embarrassment if ya get caught in the act. think of it as practice for the real thing.
Avatar m tn But to confirm the diagnosis, I suggest you to consult a urologist and get an ultrasound testis and color Doppler testis and a semen examination done. Hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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 !!
Avatar f tn I have had this done, and I am exceedingly happy with it. I still feel feminine, act feminine, and am feminine, I just don't get the yucky period to go with it. It's been the best time of my life, not having to worry about periods or getting pregnant (again). I did not have any blood pressure problems with it. If you have anymore questions that I can answer for you, let me know... I'm sure this must get better for you!
Avatar n tn 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.
1331397 tn?1294039895 An odorous vaginal discharge can sometimes be a symptom of bacterial vaginitis. It should be checked out. I know you may feel uncomfortable talking about this with your doctor, but that's what the doctor is there for. This is a common problem that your doctor has heard many times before. If you avoid bringing it up, the poor doctor will go out of business! In general, vaginitis doesn't cause sterility. If you get a sexually transmitted disease, that can cause sterility.
Avatar m tn It depends on where the radiation was, if it was total body irradiation, he may not be able to. If it was just located to the neck, for example, then there should be no problem. Did he have any chemotherapy treatments, or just the radiation? Chemotherapy tends to cause sterility as well, and again it depends what 'type' of chemo. Your easiest bet is for him to just go to his family doctor, and have a sperm analysis done. Then you would know.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn it is simple for STDs detected via blood test (herpes and syphillis) but other stds such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, which requires swab from the infected site.. I have no clue how to explain a swab at the rectum. I don't know how to explain to the doctor. Probably I'm posting at a wrong forum (sorry), but anyone could share some thoughts?
Avatar m tn They repeated the colonoscopy and again turned up focal active colitis. The doctor there has been treating me with Lialda and Entocort. The number of bathroom trips has decreased to about 5-6 a day, and things are much more 'solid'. However, the pain is steadily getting worse. It's mostly left side, from under my ribcage down to above my hip. I get it on the upper right side as well, but generally not as severe. I would appreciate any insight you might have on this.
Avatar f tn m pregnant yet but I do have crohns.. Im a vegetarian and find it better when I stay away from dairy. Try limiting dairy!
Avatar f tn We just learned that a few of his cousins are sterile and I was wondering how common sterility in families is?
Avatar f tn I was on Asacol for many years, but my new insurance company made we switch to Lialda a couple of months ago (three 1.2GM tablets 1x daily). I am also on Lisinopril (20mg 1x), Rosuvastatin (10mg 1x), and Citalopram (20mg, 1x). In addition to prescription meds, I also take one vitamin D3 (2000 IU) daily, as well as two 650mg Acetaminophen tablets. I tend to pay a lot of attention to my liver, since I had a good friend pass away of liver cancer at an early age.
Avatar f tn Yes I was on the shot for 2years now I been on the pills for 4months and I'm back to normal feeling right I just hate that I have cramps like crazy
Avatar f tn Although this surgery usually causes sterility by destroying the lining of the uterus, pregnancy may still be possible if a small part of the endometrium is left in place. This can lead to severe pregnancy problems. Birth control of some form is needed if you have not finished menopause.
Avatar n tn they can cause permanent sterility in women and major issues, such as abnormal cell growth and deformities of your inner workings. they are very controversial and can be very dangerous. most providers will not recommend them and will seriously discourage you from using one. get it out asap, and if your provider encouraged you to get one, go see someone else who will have your personal health in mind when prescribing you something.
