Question:
160mg of prednisone is a huge amount. I believe she should at least seek a second opinion. It can do more arm than good, especially if it is taken on a long term basis. Noella – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – her doctor is a fool short and simple no one should be on prednisone esp that dose (which is double the usual maximum amount) for more than a coupleor 3 months you need to get her to a university hosptital fast You can’t know all that unless you are a doctor yourself. And even THEY can’t agree on a specific course of treatment. It is very unfair of you to panic someone like that. Yelling that they need to get her to a university hospital fast is a very unjust thing to do to a person. Just my opinion. Margie CD Class of 67 UC Class of 96

I aggree. When i first went on 80mg, I had chest palpitations, passing out, etc. 40mg/day usually clears things up for me rather quickly. — Save big at www.electronics-forless.com

Jason Yes, there is hope. When I was first diagnosed, in addition to the sulfasalazine (which I was on at the time) I needed to do 3-4 enemas/week (Rowasa or Cortenemas). As time passed, and I was switched to Pentasa, (and I realized I had a problem with milk), my UC has settled down somewhat. And at the present time I only need the enemas 1-2 times/month. (By the way, the Asacol your wife is on, is a similar medication to the Pentasa that I am on. It delivers an anti-inflammatory drug ‘mesalamine’ to the colon without the use of sulfa.) Yes, there is hope, Jason. One of the books I got from the CCFA bookstore is, ‘The New People: Not Patients’ by Penny Steiner-Grossman, Peter Banks, and Daniel Present. It clearly explains what ulcerative colitis is, many of the medications used to treat it, etc. And it does so in non-medicalize language which the layman can understand. I was so impressed by it that I bought two copies for each of our local libraries. You might find it in your local library. I don’t know about you, but to this day I feel more comfortable sitting down and reading information in a book. The fact is that there is a cure for ulcerative colitis. (Yes it is an extreme cure, and one that I would only consider as a LAST RESORT.) Surgical removal of the colon is a cure for ulcerative colitis. There is also a lot of research that is going on to find a cure for crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. In the past year, the CCFA alone has sponsered $8,000,000 in various research programs. Hang in there, Jason. There is hope. Howard in Alaska UC since 1995 Peace and Harmony – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Thank You All, Your info. has been great for me. I think my wife is a little too (computer un-friendly) or shy to post anything. I am very nervous to say anything to anybody but here it feels fine. She (my wife) was taking 80 mg of predizone twice a day for almost a year. Her dr. just put her on (excuse my spelling) asocole and imuran. She has been sick since she has been taking them both. The Dr. pumped 2 litres of fluid into her this afternoon and wants her to stop taking the imuran and double up on the asocole. Like I said earlier she has had this for over a year now and I want some answers. I am just a guy that has found answers for everything else and wandering if the Mayos Clinic isn’t the next stop. Just wandering how long you all have had UC and if there is any HOPE!! Thanks again. Jason (concerned HUSBAND) Hello all; Just a concerned husband with a wife with Ulcerative Colitis. Just wandering if anyone has some (or any) information for a newly wed struggling with an ill wife.

LOL!!!!!! Hugs, Linda – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I avoided the stress of mom planning the wedding and semi eloped…. at McDonald’s….. "you want fries with that?" was a whole lot better than "what color do you want this… no that is the wrong color …. no that is the wrong color …. no that is the wrong color …. ok that is the color I would chose…." Mike x-no-archive: yes Yeah I knew what she had but was kind of dumb to how severe it is. Wedding plans weren’t too bad. Our moms took care of most of that. Yeah, well getting married can be a *major* stress, no matter who’s doing the party-planning part. As far as her diet goes, we have taken all the spicy things away No salads and so on and so on. OK, but what I’m talking about is a much more fundamental change than that. I am going to check out that web site you sent. While you’re at it, please read about the book on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/books/0969276818…
