Avatar f tn i believe that pentasa is more for management of colitis once it's under control from steroids like once the steroids bring down your flare up u will continue to take pentasa to maintain your colitis control so you could be on it for quite sometime i have never taken pentasa myself thought they have me on salofalk which i believe is for the same thing, just to keep uc under control. not sure if that helped at all but anyways good luck wishing you the best.
148588 tn?1465778809 So much for Perry and his sneaky 'special session. Sometimes I'm so dang proud to be a Texan. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/21/texas-abortion-citizens-filibuster_n_3479266.html?utm_hp_ref=politics "Hundreds of Texans gathered in the state capitol in Austin on Thursday night to stage a "citizen's filibuster" of two bills that would dramatically restrict access to abortion in the state.
Avatar m tn 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!), my knees were very painful and my eyesight was blurry. I flew to the UK (nightmare 12 hour flight) + few hour transfer.

Avatar f tn I have suffered from Crohns for 10+ years but only diagnosed last october. My doctor put me on pentasa that I am still on and I've tried numerous times to explain to him it doesn't work. I have daily pain and diarrhea 15+ times a day yet he still won't change my meds. The only test I have had done is a small bowel series which diagnosed it. No other tests to this day. He acts like he doesn't believe me when I say I have extreme pain every day.
456090 tn?1259694837 I just found out on 3/18/08 that I have this and was given 500mg of Pentasa to be taken 2x per day (morning/evening). This is to soon to find out if this will help with the constant pain but I was just wondering what yall thought. I have also suffer from night sweats, loose bowel, etc.
Avatar m tn He was under treatment and was given Pentasa granules , T PAN (40mg), Tab wysolone and Pentasa Anema. As there was no improvement. Doctor adviced to have Exemptia (Adalimumab) injection. 4 injections (40mg 8ml) was given. Next day he was having stomach pain, tight and rigid stomach, and fast breathing. He was immediately admitted in the nearby hospital and doctor found he was suffering from megacolon (toxic colon).
Avatar n tn I had changed from Asacol to Pentasa the week before and the rectal pain had come back-significant burning pain. Went to another doctor and had more bloodwork-borderline IBD tests. Went off Pentasa for a few days in Dec and had severe RLQ pain and right hand pain. Got better after a week back on Pentasa. Had another colonoscopy-essentially negative in late Jan. I continue to have burning pain in my rectum and RLQ and right hand, general fatigue. Stress makes it worse.
Avatar f tn Just a point of information. An international petition has been started on Change.org by thyroid patients seeking to require endocrinologists to be more informed in practicing their profession. It is NOT anti-endocrinologist, it is PRO-medical education and standards for board certification. .If you are interested, go to Change.org and type in thyroid in the search box. I think the mission statement is very well thought out and explanatory.
Avatar n tn I am on Cimzia and Pentasa 4grams a day, for the Crohns itself, Dicyclomine for most bowl and rectal spasms (works in calming down the need to go), and Tramodol 100mg (8 max a day) though I sometimes use more. Strange thing, the Tramodol acts like a diuretic and with the Dicyclomine, tends to control the pain and symptoms to the point where I am functional again. Although, if it wasn't for the Pentasa and Cimzia , I would be in the hospital or going crazy from the pain and discomfort.

Avatar f tn If you go to Jenna's Lyme blog at http://lymediseaseresource.com/wordpress you get good information on what the petition is about, why we urgently need it, and what the reader needs to do to get his name added to the petition. However it's unclear why Jenna's Lyme blog gives a deadline date of Feb 20th. Whitehouse.gov says the deadline is Feb 10th.
Avatar m tn dont know how many people are aware there is a petition to the gov. for lyme on the internet.
107366 tn?1305680375 The petition for an Ovarian Cancer postage stamp has been going since 2001. Some of you may have already signed the petition, but from what I understand, at the beginning of the year, signatures are purged, and it starts all over again. If you would be interested in signing the petition online, you can get to it at http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/ovca2008?e There is a good chance it could get enough signatures this year.

Avatar m tn Does anybody know where the link is for Gilead Sciences and Bristol that talks about the total cure for Hep-C and the petition you can sign to get it going? Because they wont work together!
Avatar f tn Their is another petition as well seeking increased research funding. Please sign both of these if you are interested in seeking increased funding for hsv research. They both target the decision makers that determine funding that is granted to researchers. http://www.petition2congress.com/373...earch-funding/ http://health.change.org/petitions/v...search_funding Thanks!
1797925 tn?1341096204 Maybe I wasn't clear. The link to the petition page worked fine. On the petition you have a link to the article "Quoting from The Street (http://alturl.com/rnh8p)..." and that link doesn't work; I tried it on two separate browsers. I have the article but just thought it best if you fixed the link.
3052618 tn?1344105035 I made a petition on the White House site. Once I realized there wasn't one. I'd loved to have put A LOT more, but sadly it only gives you 800 characters :(. So this is the best I could come up with in 800 characters. https://petitions.whitehouse.
Avatar n tn Like a lot of people, I probably had it long before I was forced to address the issue. I am currently on Pentasa and 6MP. All seem to be doing okay. However, recently I have been having a hard time swallowing. I can actually feel everything in my throat. Has anyone else experienced the same? I hate to go through any tests if anyone has suggestions. Wishing everyone long remissions!
Avatar f tn This was after many different tests for different things. I was on Prednozone and Pentasa at first. I am still on Pentasa 8 times a day and many other meds. Mostly for pain, cramps and bleeding. Go to the crohns.com web site and after signing up, they will send you a wonderful book that answers many questions. I am glad to help and answer concerns. That's how we help each other. Please ask anything. It's like having a baby, all modesty is out the window.
Avatar n tn He prescribed her half a tablet of Tryptizol every night before going to bed against nausea and one Pentasa Sachet every night before food against irritated bowel disease. Moreover, she did a Gastroscopy which didn't show anything. Can anyone of you help or might have had a similar experience? Is the doctor right with his treatment suggestions? She is also on the pill (Yasmine) which she started only in May though but wasn't taken while she was in Canada and the pain subsided.
1869943 tn?1322654497 Well it makes me ill hearing about another person in my world and I've been in it for 18. You would think by now with the Millions of dollars in research something would come about. Then like any decease somebody with big money invested as in cancer if they beat it billions of dollars would be lost by those making it, but this doesn't help you now. Ok when you are taking your Prednezone are you increasing your intake of Asacol as well?
