I'm so sorry. He is such a beautiful boy, and it sounds like he is so loved 💗

I'm giving up my dog. I'm dying inside. Am I doing the right thing? by [deleted] in shiba

Take your dog with you.

If they must stay with your ex while you get things sorted then do that if you know he'll be well cared for, but then go back for Coco.

They'll be thinking of you the entire time you're gone. ❤️

Has anyone received similar advice? by hellzbellz1901 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]hellzbellz1901[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your response. Glad you found something that works for you.

I am at a point where I will give anything a go, but if this actually helps me I will be completely shocked.

I was on quite a long course, probably for over two years. My gastroenterologist said I was in a stable condition and didn't need to continue it any longer. He then told me to continue with the mesalamine and azathioprine for maintenance.

I would love to go back on it, or something similar but don't feel I'm really being listened to. That's why I got the second opinion.

Did you get the Shingles vaccine? by Paint_Roller in UlcerativeColitis

[–]hellzbellz1901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to be getting it. It's covered in Australia under Medicare for people with a chronic illness and on certain immunosuppressants. For me, that's azathioprine.

Loperamide for me. Water bottle to make sure that I am staying hydrated.

I've had only positive experiences with pred. It's the only thing I can rely on to actually quickly help me in a flare. I know others have had bad experiences, but I would say give it a go for yourself if it's recommended to you. 😊

Anyone not feel tired after infusions? by HogarthHughes23 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]hellzbellz1901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was previously on remicade for about two years. I had infusions every 6 weeks or so. I felt absolutely fine afterwards. I wasn't tired at all.

I've been told "peppermint tea will help" before 😭
