Awaiting diagnosis and scared
Hi, I’m new here but just looking to put my mind at ease. Over the last couple of months I’ve had full blood tests and a sample for calprotectin, initially to confirm whether or not I had IBS. I had been taking probiotics which helped for a while and also buscopan but my symptoms started to worsen. Two

Newly diagnoised
So after 4 years of pain I have finally been diagnosed with 'mild crohns'. Had a endoscopy the beginning of this year and being sent for MRE and possibly a capsule endoscopy too. Does anyone have any tips of trying to pin point your triggers, I've been keeping a food diary lately but can't see much connection

Any advice please?
So after having a laparoscopy done in October ruled out endometriosis I was sent for a scope. I was told after this that I had ulcerative colitis. My symptoms had been passing blood and mucus for around 5 weeks which eventually stopped about 2-3 weeks before the scope was eventually done. I was started

Advice on medication please
I was diagnosed with Colitis in may 2016, i was put on Octasa (Mesalazine) 1200mg taken twice a day. Since then i haven't had any further attacks. Has anyone been able to reduce their medication or even been able to come off it completely. Maybe it's the medication that keeps symptoms at bay. Thank you

Do not know whether methotrexate would be better for me than prednisolone
I have a history of oesophageal reflux since2001 but the medication (ranitidine and Omeprazole) led to
collagenous
colitis
in 2014 so I had to discontinue the medication. In 2017 I was diagnosed with hiatus hernia.

I completed my 5k in November and loved the training and the euphoria of actually doing 5k Since then I have seriously lost my mojo....i just can't sustain a run at all ....its causing so much negativity and therefore breeding more negativity that I feel like I'm in an ever decreasing circle.

Salazopyrin
Hi all! I have RA and was diagnosed in 2005. I have been taking salazopyrin for the last 6months and I’m feeling fairly good on it. 😀😀😀. Does anyone know if I need to stop taking it when taking an antibiotic.

CO-PROXAMOL / DEXTROPROPOXYPHENE BASED PRODUCTS ARE BACK IN PRODUCTION!
I feel that I have been able to prove beyond any doubt that MHRA’s advice to government to ban Co-proxamol was in order to increase their income and NOT FOR DRUG SAFETY CONCERNS OR EFFICACY! Dextropropoxyphene based products are back in production in India and on the market at a very completive price

Ulcerative colitis help
I have just been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis after months of feeling sick bleeding from behind and awful stomach problems. I have been reading this can be auto immune related. Has anyone else got this and how do you treat it. My GP just prescribed steroid creams but it's making it worse. Feeling

Something strange is going on
Just completed week 5 run 1. I know this is likely to be a tough week and having been kicked off the couch by my other half I set off for the first run at snail's pace. (Grandma snail with zimmer frame). I'm snailing along, looking around at the local park at dusk and suddenly realise... I'm smiling!

feeling weak
Hello! I am presently taking 88mg of Levothyroid. I also take estrogen twice weakly. Does estrogen interfere with thyroid medication? Any one know.

Reading these posts are so helpful.
OK, I have two days to go before I go to see the docs about giving up smoking - again! This is so I can decide how I want to do this, ideally I want to try Varenicline (Chantix) but not sure if I can ask for that or just take what they suggest, but I will see. Whatever happens I am determined to quite

Young, scared, confused.
Hello, I am not sure if I have joined the correct forum and if anyone can offer me some comfort and reassurance. So I have a low reading of MCHC AND MCH from majority of my blood tests. Now I've had many blood tests in the pass and no doctor has ever bought this up before until just a few years ago
