JUST FORGOT TO TELL YOU THAT I AM SUFFERING FROM ULCERATIVE COLITIS SINCE 10 YEARS AND NOW I AM ON MESALAZINE 800 MG TWICE DAILY. I MAY BE SUFFERING FROM BOTH UC AND CROHN'S DISEASE. MY WEIGHT IS ONLY 35 KG AND I AM HAVING MESALAZINE SINCE 10 YEARS.MY HB LEVEL IS 11. PLZ REPLY TO THE ABOVE QUESTION ABOUT MY HEART.
I AM 18 YEARS OLD. MY PROBLEM IS THAT THROUGHOUT THE DAY MY HEART BEATS IN A FUNNY MANNER. LIKE THERE ARE 5 TO 6 REGULAR BEATS AND THEN THE NEXT BEAT COMES AFTER A SLIGHTLY LONGER PAUSE. I HAVE HAD ELECTRO AMD ECHOCARDIOGRAMS AND THEY BOTH WERE NORMAL. I GET VERY SCARED WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I GET PALPITATIONS. I AM THE KIND OF PERSON WHO PAYS A LOT OF ATTENTION TOWARDS THESE THINGS.IS THIS CONDITION DANGEROUS????
How long all this lasts?
It sounds like food poisoning or water poisoning, which causeds bacterial (or parasitic) infection. Intestinal bleeding often occurs in severe infection e.g. from E. coli bacteria.
In most cases, these infections heal on its own. You should drink water to replenish lost fluid from diarrhea. If you'll get dizzy, this is a sign of dehydration, so you have to drink.
I have been suffering from chronic ulcerative colitis (UC) over the last twenty years. I’m in control of it and lead almost a normal life. I’m currently on 3 grams of Rafassal (Mesalazine) and 200 mg of Imuran (Azathioprine).
My last colonoscopy revealed multiple areas suspicious of low grade dysplasia (LGD) in sigmoid colon and recotoanal junction. There is also doubt they might be high grade dysplasia (HGD).
My doctor advised that these LGDs be removed.
1 - You think what my STD doctor told me is reasonable?
2 - Would you suggest any HIV testing to me? I think I am ready to move on if you will not tell me that tested is warranted to me.
3 - You think GE was professional by giving me mesalazine after sigmoidoscopy (when I have been told proctitis I knew nothing about causes)? You think proctitis cannot be related to HIV?
4 - Nodes - Can 2 nodes be related to autoimmune proctitis? Should I get further in analysing my nodes?
Hi Katsh,
A colonoscopy is the best way to assess the bowel and the cause of the bleeding. Mucus increases in an inflammed bowel but it may be that the portion of bowel affected is small relative to its whole length. The large bowel does most of the water-absorbing work while the small bowel does the nutrition-absoprtion. If the large bowel is only partially affected, then diarrhoea is not usually a symptom.
It is rather general question. I was taking mesalazine , it is an anti-inflammatory drug but has also some immunosuppressive functions. I stopped it 4 months before testing.
t seem to help with the underlying problems. The doctor then prescribed Canasa (mesalazine) suppositories for 10 days, which seemed to help while I was using them (though they didn't entirely clear up the problems and also caused me to have more gas). Since completing the 10 days of using the suppositories, my symptoms have been just as bad as before I started using them, or maybe even a little worse.
Hi . I am a 20 years old male and was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis 8 month ago. It is proctitis and i'm currently taking 6 tabs and 2 supps of mesalazine daily.. i want to use whey protein or amino acids tab for muscle buliding .. i have asked about it from 6 different doctors and all of them advised me not to use them.. but i realy dont understand why i cant take them.. is it safe to take homemade whey protein ? Why shouldnt i take whey supplement and how can it affect my disease?
How many PVC's do you get in one minute. I have been to a cardiologist and they do not pay much attention.
This is a clear criminal act. How come FDA is not allowing the safe to use Mesalazine Enema, which has been used for years in Europe and Canada? I am not certain how I can spread the word so that all UC patients who are suffering can get benefited. Please spread the word and let CCFA know that this drug needs to be made available in US. I have to buy it from UK or Canada at my own expenses. This is outrageous when I am paying so much for insurance. Please advise.
com and even on Medhelp (Maria2008) that tested at 6months+ negative and positive later due to Mesalazine/Mezalamine - WBC in urine - my son's potential case: putting all these together, I reached a point where I feel I am one of the unluckiest very small percentage that contracted it from BJ (maybe due to French Kiss, or low immunity of UC and being sick at the same time resulting in higher risk). I also read that there are a few documented cases of people in US contracting HIV from BJs.
Sorry new to forum and I didn't know ... Anyway I messed up. I am starting treatment sometime this month and am curious about side affects.
Is it best to have the RAI treatment after thyroid removed, with large lymph node, that all contained pappilary cancer, even if the thyroglobulin test is zero?
Do most people start treatment right away or do you wait if you are not symptomatic? I keep having these moment where I need to know all the answer and all the next steps. And then for a moment I'm ok. Is it better to get my body in shape before undergoing treatment (kind of like preparing for battle). I all ready have aches and pains and am over-weight. Would treatment intensify this?
