Medication help
Hi all, I hope everyone is as well as can be at the moment. I was diagnosed roughly 2 years ago and put on pentasa suppositories. October time last year I reported to my gastro doc that I was having more blood & mucus. She requested a calprotectin test which came back as elevated then put me on pentasa

Antidepressants and Biologics??
Hey guys, first post here. Good to know there’s a community for this stuff as I’m sure if you’ve all had to deal with a ton of stuff over the last little while. I’m wondering if anyone has had any problems getting their antidepressants to work while they’ve been on a biologic? I went on Avanza (antidepressants

Update on Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis treatment.
Just a wee update on my previous post on being diagnosed with IPF. I have now been prescribed the drug Nintenidab and Mycophenalate has been removed as it had stopped being effective. There has not been any diahorrea thank goodness! But, have had a 'rumbly tummy' ever since starting on the new med. last

Ulcerative colitis
Hi guys I did a previous post about my calprotectin being off the scale past 2000. Just had my colonoscopy. They have done biopsies but are sure I have ulcerative colitis. I feel relieved to finally no what is wrong with me after 18months of symptoms. Any one in the same boat with any words of advice

PCP Pneumonia Prophylaxis
I went to my first rheumatologist visit on November 21. Had been on 60 mg prednisone since October 15. She told me I now have essentially no working immune system, and am at high risk for Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP). She started me on Bactrim (TMP/SMX) 3 times weekly as prophylaxis. I did a quick search

Nsaids and IBD
Hi everyone, last April I was diagnosed with Microscopic colitis. After a course of Budesonide, I have thankfully felt very well. Trouble is a couple of days ago I started to suffer from Sciatica...and it's agony. I tried Paracetamol, but it didn't touch the pain. Yesterday in desperate need of some

IBS what can u get on prescription?
Hi I'm on universal credit and entitled to free prescription. I have recently been diagnosed with IBS and my doctor not very forth coming. I currently buy galvascon, buscopan, imodium instants and imodium plus. Which is costing me a fair chunk out of my universal credit each month. Can anyone advise

Saw Rheumy at HSS - New York - Question for You?
Hi Folks, Saw really good rheumy and she had some good info and advice (as well as taking 8 vials of blood out of me. Talk about thorough...) She said as I taper that she was not in love with the idea of me hitting extra pain here and there with Advil (ibuprofen), and prefers that I use Tylenol (paracetemol

Wind pain but no diarrhoea
I have ibs D this is something that plays up everyday but recently it’s been getting better but my stomach pains r making it hard to stand up straight. I think it’s trapped wind but it’s been almost 20 hours and the pain is just as bad, doing a 9 hour shift at work is stressful enough without the added

Zoladex and Femoston-conti
I have had non stop bleeding whilst on zoladex and Tibolone for 3 months. My doctor has now swapped Tibolone to Femoston-conti but reading up on it says DO NOT take if you have undiagnosed vaginal bleeding ... which I have! It also says DO NOT take if you have thickening of the womb lining which I don

The question about broken toes and Apixaban...
Thank you all for your helpful responses. My question was really intended to establish the possible effects of anti coagulation medication in the healing process. I am continuing to take my pills, I am in no rush to have a stroke😊. It seems that none of you have had a problem and that therefore it

Pembrolizumab & possibility of U. Colitis recurrence?
I have just been approved for Pembrolizumab, but the only worry the oncologist had was that it could cause U. Colitis to flare up. I had U. Colitis & sepsis in autumn 2015, and my GE had it under control within a few months using Octasa 800 - He told me to stay on two per day as a maintenance dose, and

*Photo Warning* Stool has been this way for months
Hi all, I’m a 20 year old college student. My stool has looked this way and has had this consistency for a while. I thought the red spot in the photo of my stool was blood; got it checked by my physician and it was just undigested food (phew). My concern lies in the fact that, while my stool is formed

PMR and starting Pred
So My GP thinks I have pmr and so do I. I am not taking prednisone until the end of the month as we are trying CBD oil first (have since read it doesn’t really help for pmr). So far CBD hasn’t touched my pain. My question is this. Earlier in the week I was so sore. Needed to go clothes shopping and I
