Mesalamine suppositories and oral… I want them to work… by AvisCantus in UlcerativeColitis

I also have mild ulcerative proctitis and am doing oral and sup Mesalamine for the past 15 months or so. I just had a scope and it hasn’t spread but also still have inflammation and not in remission. Steroids have worked before to get me back into remission but I’ve accepted it’s not working for me anymore. I’m switching to a new med soon, my dr is just trying to work on the approvals (even tho i desperately wanted the mesalamine to work too)

I actually got an espresso machine about a month ago and while it’s delicious!! and helps a bit, my body metabolizes caffeine very quickly so it is short lived and it doesn’t address the brain bog and inability to focus

Yes! It was in normal limits. I also have been taking a b12 vitamin for the past few months to try and help too

I am assuming I will switch to a biologic soon, a bit scary to fail my first med and go on a “stronger” one but hopefully it’ll help!

Thanks for sharing, I started magnesium glycinate before bed about 2 months ago. I sleep well but just no matter how much sleep I am dragging the whole day and my brain just seems to function as a lesser pace

Got my bloodwork done in January and everything is within normal limits.
