I have ulcerative proctitis and have to fly annually to the UK to buy pentasa suppositories at my own expense; as I am no longer a UK resident I have to pay for a private prescription. Japan has not done any drugs trials for this and prescribed oral pentasa to me, which let to an almighty flare. They prescibed pentasa liquid enemas, then steroids liquid enemas, then oral steroids all the while I am getting thinner, but puffier (thanks steroids!
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????
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?
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.
Any mummies on here from the UK? im a FTM and just had my 20 week scan..
Is any one from the UK?
I was just wondering if any one is from the UK on this app?
Mesalazine may also cause some stomach upset (read for side effects on the label).
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?
and an engaged Gastroenterologist who was keen to get me well!! When things get a little wobbly (after gastro virus from my kids!!) I use Mesalazine supps or enemas to 'put out the fire'. Cross fingers, 3 years mostly in remission for a condition that stays "under the radar". Watch the bowel, get acquainted with the patterns and insist on a preventative approach with a Dr that you trust! There is always a better state of health even with small-problem symptoms... Best wishes!!
In the UK, do they check for dilation? Only really heard it done in USA, and I'm 37 haven't been checked so far!
I'm the UK they won't induce you till after 41 weeks if there isn't a medical reason, usually they date of induction will be closer to 42 weeks.
They dont check u internally in uk, & appointments r usually 2 weeks unless something came up i e size etc. U can always pop into ur local drop in clinic, if u read ur green folder it does say it in there on page where they explain head engagement etc.
Rang a week ago not heard anything how long is it for them getting in touch after uv rang the doctor? I rang doc n they sed they'll refer me and the midwife will call me ...
