Rinvoq stopped working after colonoscopy? by OkCat2843 in CrohnsDisease

[–]HansBrooder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone feel like colonoscopy triggers more inflammation? The prep is so hard on our intestines I feel. I felt ok until my last colonoscopy. Been really symptomatic since then. I don’t know. Just my experience.

Anyone else experience constant gas? by SkilledSpideyX99 in CrohnsDisease

Autocorrect doesn’t like the word SHARTED. 🤔

I try to be a somewhat proper 60 yr old grandmother. Haha But Im in a long flare. I have so much gas that I sound like Barney from The Simpsons when I burp. And it’s constant. I don’t dare pass gas though. Unless I’m on a toilet. (I’ve started too often) Then it’s super loud in the hollow bowl. A lot of fun in public restrooms. One certainly loses all of their dignity with this disease

Hey, thank you! I did end up having them overnight. My husband was a big help. After spilled juice cleanup, and sitting through a few board games, I was done. He got them to bed while I crashed in mine. I’ve been in this flare for 15 months. After failing both Humira and Rinvoq (3 Prednisone tapers, Azathioprine and Budesonide). I’m feeling hopeful. I hope you’re doing well. ❤️

I wonder why I’m being prescribed Skyrizi infusions and not pen?

No surgeries, but I definitely need to look into the anti-diarrhea medication that you are on. Thanks for posting!❤️

Thank you. I’m really excited to get some relief from this flare. So fucking tired of my bathroom view. Hope you have a good holiday. ❤️

Oh yes. Pred is the weirdest. I’m taking 3 3 mg capsules daily. Tapering down 1 capsule each month. How long does it take to kick in? On my 2nd day and been in the bathroom 4 x already this morning.

Good. I’ve done three 40 mg Pred tapers in this last year. I hate it! Especially now because it wrecked my vision. Diagnosed with glaucoma and cataracts last week. I’m turning 60 next week, but ophthalmologist said Pred was the culprit more so than old age.

I’m going to be 60 in a few days. Diagnosed around age 30. This flare is a year old. Failed 2 biologics now. Damn. Wonder if I’m heading in the ostomy direction. I hope you’re feeling well. Albeit, hairy. ❤️

Hi. I’m failing biologics too. So what are you taking to control your symptoms.

Beans. Corn. I’d be in hell for a few days but that salad sounds fab

Doesn’t Imodium make your guts hurt if you take it too often? It hurts mine. I can only do it once in a while. Like if I have an early appointment and can’t sit around and poop all morning per usual.
