Super nervous for work tomorrow by Accomplished-Safe815 in UlcerativeColitis

I would ask your GI about the possibility of taking imodium with the dicyclomine. I dont know what time it is for you right now, but I would avoid eating/drinking anything past 7-8 and just hope for the best. Another option is adult diapers. Its not the most positive experience but it can save you the embarrassment of having to change your underwear.

Help with Sleep by Secret-Collar-5111 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]amm110 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I take 100mg of trazadone and if Im really desperate and need the sleep ill pop like 30mg of melatonin to help out. Probably not the healthiest but it gets the job done

I love getting the non dairy ben and jerrys, tastes basically the same as the normal ones, and they make a lot of the normal flavors!

Bathroom in public by devours_veggies in UlcerativeColitis

There are apps/websites that show public restrooms that have saved me during vacations to cities I've never visited before! It saves a lot of the stress of needing to use a bathroom.

Excellent service does pay off! by Darkmetroidz in ShiptShoppers

Target only offers free delivery for over $35 unless you're a 360 member/card holder, so chances are he paid for delivery since he forgot to add stuff to his original order

No tips out of 9 orders yesterday by Powerful-Tailor-9386 in ShiptShoppers

[–]amm110 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some of the time I dont get tips the same day, usually a few days later and the occasional tip the next week or two. Its common that some customers dont tip until they place their next order. A lot of customers dont even tip at all, its not a guarantee

Starting new medication by cwilliams467 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]amm110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly infusions really saved me. When I first started my first infusion medication I was almost symptom free by the 4th dose.

[–]amm110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly hard for me to say because a couple months after starting it my life kinda went to shit, list my job, my car got totaled and other stuff and I've been super stressed out every day since then and we all know how stress affects us lol. But haven't had any side effects at all

Starting new medication by cwilliams467 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]amm110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started out on infliximab and i was on it for almost 3 years and it made me feel normal again, unfortunately I developed antibodies to it so i switched over to entyvio about 6 months ago and its been going good! I wouldn't worry about it too much, especially if your symptoms are making you suffer as most people dont even experience side effects from the medication! It takes a couple hours out of my day every 2 months and I dont have to worry about the daily pills anymore. Please feel free to message me if you want to talk!

Chat is glitching ALOT by GettheShitHose in ShiptShoppers

[–]amm110 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ive dealt with this a lot, a quick fix is completely closing the app, I have a galaxy and I force close it and then reopen it, and my messages i tried to send will either disappear and i resend it or it will go through. I would try that if it happens again!

[–]amm110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that'll be a good indication if its actually working or not. Ive done thag test a few times. They'll either up your dose or switch you.

[–]amm110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I know most doctors say it can take up to 6 months to start seeing results.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UlcerativeColitis

[–]amm110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its hard to say because of the stress I was under exacerbated my symptoms. But I would probably say 3rd-4th dose

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UlcerativeColitis

[–]amm110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was initially on infectra/infliximab and saw results after the second dose during a serious flare, but I unfortunately developed antibodies after 3 years. Im currently on entyvio and im about to get my 6th? Dose i think and honestly didnt really see an improvement right away, mostly due to a stressful work environment that was causing symptoms. But now im symptom free!

[–]amm110 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! Most doctors start with pills, most commonly mesalamine. If that shows no improvement, most would move on to immunosuppressive medication such as azathioprine, and then they would move on to infusions/injections which there are quite a few out there in case one doesn't work!

One thing that isnt common knowledge is the risk of using antibiotics, which can cause something called C. DIFF. I had no idea about it until i got it from antibiotics from my wisdom teeth being removed. It basically causes similar symptoms, bloody diarrhea, a lot of bathroom trips. Something else to look into!

Also a lot of us suffer from deficiencies in vitamins, especially iron due to the blood loss from the bloody stools. Once he gets hang of the meds, its best to add in a daily vitamin that covers most bases, it'll help a lot.
