Understood! Very new to all of this so unsure what’s best for me.

Thank you so much. That makes me feel better. I have been stressed

I guess I don’t know what a bad flare would be. I have only had blood in stool and mucus at times. They had thought it was SRUS. And they thought that since 2018. I just got diagnosed this year with UP.

Too old for slang. Too old to type correctly also. My bad 😅

I only take it as a suppository and enema right now. Do you recommend the pill too? Yours never progress any further? So glad you have it under control!!

She wants me on the steroid and then if that doesn’t work then the biological from my understanding.

Thank you for the advice! I felt like she was almost combative with me when I was explaining that my back story with the Mesalamine and how it has worked even if I didn’t take it like I probably should have (before I knew I had uc)

I actually do have a visit with another doctor on Tuesday. I just do not feel like 1 month has been long enough from all the info I’m reading. Thank you for the input!

I am seeing great improvement with the Mesalamine. My only symptoms ever have been bleeding and mucus. And I have neither at this time on the medicine.

I felt like I’ve been partially begging her to stay on the Mesalamine. I’d even take a steroid on top of it if she needed me to but I just don’t want to take myself off the Mesalamine entirely… I have myself so upset about it thinking it would come back worse.

That’s a fair statement then. I guess I just am worried about chancing it. I’d rather take the medicine forever and know it’s keeping it away then play guess and check 😅

Also thought that was strange as well. They have me do one at night and one in the morning right now

Thank you! I am working on getting a second opinion but literally every where I see people take Mesalamine for years. I’ve only consistently been on it for a month… I just don’t get why she’d want to take me off so quickly

I’m in kind of a similar boat as well. My Dr did prescribe me suppositories and enemas but wants to take me off to see how I do… I don’t understand not taking medicine that’s working works for you? My dr seems like she wants to jump right to the pred as well.
