During moderate/sever flare-ups I took prednisone orally, in foam suppository as well as mesalamine orally and through suppository. In moderate flare-ups mesalamine orally w/ mesalamine suppositories.
My question is - beyond the general risk that HSV presents - how additionally risky is this for me? It is a possibility that at some point I will have a flare-up that will require immonusuppressive therapy. If I was to contract HSV could my UC symptoms become more severe?
But then if you can increase the no and quantity of melanin granules ,yes they can get retained.
For example if you have 250 granules on a 60mg Cymbalta capsules that means that about 4 granules represents 1 mg. This is just an example, I don't know how many granules you have in your capsules and I am assuming you are on 60 mg caspules. So, if you want a reduction of 5% you have to tak off 3mg from your 60mg capsules that would be more or less 12 granules. You can keep the granules that you are eliminating to make new doses. I know it is confusing but all is a matter of math.
Her gastroenterologist started her on Mesalamine (4 capsules daily) and later added prednisone 100 mg enemas to try and get the flare-up under control. Things are getting better and she has some of her strength back. There is one puzzling thing that the doctors are not able to pinpoint. This is an intermittent fever that starts in the afternoon and lasts to the night. In the morning the temperature is back to a low 97 degrees fahrenheit and stays stable until afternoon below 98 degrees.
can a pregnant woman of 33 weeks take l- arginine and proanthocyanidin granules 5 gm sachet?
My recent result of biopsy after the colonoscopy indicates epithelial dysplasia. My doctor just advice me to continue taking the mesalamine (Asacol) Do i need an another urgent medication/treatment for dysplasia? What should be my next move?
I literally have pockets full of brown/red sand-like granules instead of cheek flesh. And this happened virtually overnight. Exterior is semi dry. My skin has been super thick lately...all of a sudden its like velvet so i went to pop a black head and it tore and its full of granules that dissolve when they hit my hand.
I have read about a study in which Boswellia was used in conjunction with Mesalamine. My gastroenterologist knows notheing about herbs, but is open to information that I can give her. What is available? Are there any interactions with boswellia and mesalamine that I should be cautious about? Are there any precastions about its use?
The only symptoms I have are a burning sensation on pharynx and upper respiratory wall (usually in the morning when I wake up) and mucus production, also when flu would hit me these granules on the back would become inflamed and enlarged, once the flue is gone they cwould go back to their normal size. Now after a year and 4 months those granules are less colorful and none of them got bigger nor spread around the same goes for the lumps beneath my tonsils.
Hi there,
I was diagnosed with sigmoidal colitis in 2005, but I reckon that it went unchecked for about 4 years prior to that. I was initially treated with mesalamine (Asacol) but it had no effect. My GI guy then hit me with prednisone and that knocked it down. I have been on Asacol in a prophylactic capacity since (800mg tid). Does it keep me in remission. Maybe, but maybe it is the tremendous quantities of fentanyl, diacetylmorphine and morphine I abused as well for all I know :P.
What other symptoms are present? Mesalamine or Canasa suppositories works by preventing the production of substances that cause the inflammation of the colon. The usual side effects include diarrhea; dizziness; gas; hair loss; headache; mild stomach discomfort or pain; and nausea. The sour taste could be indirectly related especially if you have other gastrointestinal issues like acid peptic disease or gerd.
Sounds like you may be seeing Fordyce Granules, which are ectopic sebaceous gland (oil glands). They are normal and can appear in the mouth as well. They don't go away, and are really only a cosmetic concern. I'd still get checked out, but look up fordyce granules on the internet and see if the photos match what you are seeing.
There have been a few cases of liver failure possibly related to the use of mesalamine (the active ingredient in Asacol HD), but I haven't read anything about fatty liver as a side effect.
A fatty liver, it takes between 6 months and 2 years to fully reverse. Dr Sandra Cabot's article "Fatty Liver - What Is Fatty Liver And How To Reverse It?
In cold condition it becomes bit dry and I can see small white sand kind granules comes out from scalp. When i touch it from my finger nails i can take get few such granules.
Any advice will be really helpful. Thanks in advance.
About the lysine, have you thought about maybe trying Bee pollen granules? It is not really a good idea to not take an amino acid complex. Bee pollen contains essential amino acids including lysine. It has many other great properties as well including B complex. My Dr. new I was taking it before treatment and allowed me to continue. Of course check with yours if you're interested.
My wife is currently 8 months pregnant, and we had a urinalysis done as per our doctor's request. The result show that she has coarse granules that counts 11. What does it mean? The information will be very much appreciated.
Hello,
Without examination, confirmation of a diagnosis is tough, but it can be irritant contact dermatitis or Fordyce spots. They are small yellowish-white granules on the inner surface and border of the lips.
Treatment of Fordyce spots includes CO2 laser or electro desiccation, TCA chemical peels(temporary treatment),diathermy or laser vaporization.
Please consult a dermatologist for clinical examination as without clinical examination, it is difficult to make a diagnosis.
I hope it helps.
are dendritic cells[2] in the epidermis,[3] containing large granules called Birbeck granules. They are normally present in lymph nodes and other organs, including the stratum spinosum layer of the epidermis. They can be found elsewhere, particularly in association with the condition histiocytosis.
On infection of an area of skin, the local Langerhans cells will take up and process microbial antigens to become fully-functional antigen-presenting cells.
I was going to switch to an H2 blocker and if absolutely need be Prilosec as I have not had that side effect with this drug. Anyone know if I can just stop or should I be opening the capsule and removing some granules and such?
In most people it occurs only in brown eyes, leaves granules of pigment on the back of the cornea called Krukenberg Spindle and may be associated with patchy thinning of the iris causing transillumination defects. The outflow area (trabeculum) is deeply pigmented. A small percent of patients with PDS will develop pigmentary glaucoma.
She again had colonoscopy and histological examination inferred that it was ulcer. She is being treated with Mesalamine and now she is well. Please check with your doctor.
The periods of remission can last from weeks to years."

"Infectious colitides such as Clostridia difficile, hemorrhagic E. coli, Campylobacter, Aeromonas, and Salmonellosis can often present as severe ulcerative colitis. Other infectious pathogens, which also need to be included in the differential diagnoses, include Amebiasis, Shigellosis, Cytomegalovirus, and Rotavirus.
