Octasa and Diarrhea
Hi there, I have diagnosed UC, on last day of an 8 week course of steroids which stopped all my symptoms (bloody lose stool).I am also on day 10 of 6 x 800 mg Octasa. In the last 48 hours started getting diarrhea and fatigue and mild stomach cramps. 6 x loose/watery stools a day. Is this a normal side

Tirosint
I am unable to take tablet form levothyroxine, I have a gene issue with metabolising some medications. I have started liquid thyroxine but I think the ingredients are affecting my stomach and I have been told to stop taking this to see if it is the cause. I see that Tirosint is quite pure but not sure

Alverine and/or Simalvia - (which is alverine citrate with simethicone.) Side effects.
I have recently been put on these. I have found that both the standard alverine citrate, which I had tried first, now the Simalvia, cause feelings of extreme anxiety about an hour after taking the tablet! Weird and not listed in the side effects. So far it seems ineffective on the pain anyway. Would

Why we add an AART drug to ADT?
In response to a post asking if adding enzalutamide to ADT is beneficial: Xtandi would increase T levels if not simultaneously using an LHRH ADT. It blocks AR in hypothalamus leading to perception of deficit and increased LH and testicular testosterone. So enzalutamide or apalutamide used without ADT

Precancerous polyps removed, new symptoms 8 years later
So 8 years ago I had a colonoscopy due to severe constipation, a backup in my bowels, mucus and slight bleeding. They removed seven polyps, four of which were pre-cancerous, the largest polyp being 7 mm. They told me to be checked again in 4 years which I was, and it came back clear. Lately, I'd say

Any advice for gastro symptoms which respond to steroids, but no diagnosis? Does normal colonoscopy cover the small bowel?
hi all, I hope it's ok to post here - I don't have a diagnosis of crohn's or colitis but am looking for information. I'm diagnosed coeliac (6+ years ago) and autoimmune hypothyroid, with ongoing and increasing gastro symptoms - the main problem being that I feel extremely unwell like I've got flu

Cyproterone and Blood Pressure
I am currently on LHRH hormone therapy in preparation for radiotherapy followed by HDR brachytherapy for my locally advanced PCa, T3a Gleason 8, no visible mets fortunately. I have been suffering from quite unpleasant hot flushes which have shown no signs of going away. I discussed this with my consultant

sciatic pain
I’ve recently been diagnosed with Adenomyosis and suffer daily with pelvic pain and like a sciatic pain in my back and down my legs. Has anyone else had this, I’m not sure if the two are related. I also have diverticulosis so falling apart at the seems. 🤯

Concerned, nervous…
where do I begin…aside from apologizing in advance for this photo.. just showing only a little bit of what I’ve been experiencing this past year. well I’m currently writing this on 12/16/2023. I am getting a colonoscopy/endoscopy done on 12/18/2023. I SUCK at writing, but I don’t honestly have anyone

Colonoscopy polyp worries
Hiya there, 34yo male here who had a colonoscopy 2 weeks ago after having abdominal and back pain, constipation on and off since June. I had a positive FIT test which my doctor believes to be because I have an anal fissure and I have rectal bleeding. The colonoscopy was clear apart from a 4mm sessile

Could this be IBS?
Hiya everyone, 34yo male who is really struggling right now with gastrointestinal problems. Looking for some advice please. Since June of this year I've been having really bad abdominal and back pain on and off in cycles - it's worse at times and better at times - it really does come and go. I'm badly

Atrioesophageal fistula (AEF)
Heads up to those undergoing cardiac ablation for Afib…had my ablation 12/6/23. Everything went great! Been in normal rhythm ever since! No bleeding, no hematoma, no real discomfort. However I woke up to abdominal pain, pain between shoulder blades and sore throat. 3 nights post op woke up to a burning

Is Xtandi necessary or even helping me?
This may be a stupid question but it's been on my mind for a while. I started on Prostap (Lupron) last July and my testosterone dropped to less than 1.0 by October while on just that. My PSA was also below 1.0 by then. My MO started me on Xtandi towards the end of October and my T and PSA appear to
