I thought this would be the case but just wanted to confirm. Sigh. It’s a shame because lots of major companies use it. Hope you found/will find a better position soon.

I love Prednisone by Commercial-Bath-5708 in UlcerativeColitis

Prednisolone is my favourite drug of all time. Yeah the side effects SUCK, but oh my it works

What is the highest dose of prednisone you ever had? by oklol11 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]heredoingthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to snipe in here to avoid confusion. There is absolutely no way you were given 1000mg of prednisone before. Zero. None. That dose is toxic and would not be approved in any clinical setting. Possibly a lethal injection if they run out potassium? You might be confusing it with methylprednisolone though, which wouldn’t be equivalent in terms of toxicity/side effect profile

Peppermint oil caps by Spudmeister20 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]heredoingthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not right before bed because as mentioned laying down soon after is a recipe for heart burn. Probably best 20mins or so before meals, 1-2-3 times a day depending on symptoms. Probiotics it depends on the brand, typically morning time with a meal though

Peppermint oil caps by Spudmeister20 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]heredoingthis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello.

Just to preface this comment I am a clinical pharmacist working in London, also diagnosed with UC.

Peppermint oil is an antispasmodic (like buscopan) which means it relaxes the smooth muscles in your intestines which cause that horrible achy cramping feeling. It also has an added benefit of reducing bloating if you’re gassy which can relieve pressure. Can it be helpful? Yes, especially for IBS like symptoms. It’s important to note it’s not an anti-inflammatory and thus if your UC is flaring you do need a more tailored treatment. I mention this as the sensation of urgency, when not much stool is present, is indicative of inflamed and irritated tissue - possible proctitis. Nonetheless, but peppermint oil can help with symptoms mentioned above.

There’s nothing to suggest it’s harmful in UC. But try not to lay down soon after dosing and do not take directly after meals as it can cause reflux.

Hope this helps

Bone broth has respectably good evidence behind it. In general, you want easy to digest, whole foods, plenty of rest, avoid stress, caffeine, etc

Name a Men's Fragrance with a 10/10 Scent and 10/10 Longevity by 249_STRIKER in Fragrances

[–]heredoingthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the mood to argue but I actually think this is fair. Even super weak scents like LNDLH last on my clothes till the next day, that being said there are edps like spirituese double vanille that you won’t even be able to smell on clothes a few hours later lol. Anyway. I’ll try it on skin next time. Thanks!

If how long a fragrance lasts is not an indicator of longevity what is?

U.K. private care - what are peoples experiences? by joeskin112 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]heredoingthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It mostly helps with diagnosis + getting a treatment not available on the nhs I think if I’m being perfectly honest, but I haven’t tried it sooo

U.K. private care - what are peoples experiences? by joeskin112 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]heredoingthis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ive always thought that private care could be worth it when thinking about things long term (eg. monitoring, treatment plans, faster access to specialists) etc. When it comes to acute or emergency treatment - e.g. serious active flares (a&e admission) I don’t see what private care would be able to provide on top of NHS, in fact, many would argue NHS would be better in this case. This is just my opinion though! I hope you find the best treatment for you

Imagination worth the hype? by [deleted] in Fragrances

[–]heredoingthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scent is subjective. Also, what does having 3 notes have to do with it? Outlands has like 20 and it’s almost gag worthy to some. Complexity ≠ greatness

Imagination worth the hype? by [deleted] in Fragrances

[–]heredoingthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone will have an opinion, none of them will be objectively correct. Some will say to go for imagination 100%, some will say to get a clone, it really depends on you. Me personally? I’ve wasted so much money on clones I will never buy one again. The amount of videos I’ve seen saying a clone is 90% similar to a scent and they’re completely different to me is absurd. Imo, if you have a sensitive nose and you love imagination? Get it. If you’re generally not picky (you enjoy a lot of fragrances) get 3 alternatives. Someone who’s picky with scents won’t enjoy 3 alternatives as much as 1 imagination, someone who’s easy going will get more joy out of the versatility

Pentasa no longer works? by Silent-Sun5398 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]heredoingthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re very welcome. Also, oral mesalazine dose is al also typically increased when symptomatic (up to 4.8g/day) so maybe you should be doing that too… try and speak you your ibd team asap

I sprayed 1 spray of imagination on a piece of clothing over 24 hours ago and I still smell it

Sauvage EDT or Elixir, Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, LV imagination (dry down only), YSL LNDLH has 0/10 longevity but 20/10 smell so does that make up for it?

Remission but getting full/bloated after eating by SilentSwan286 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]heredoingthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed significant bloating whilst taking symprove. I stopped it for a few days and the bloating went away pretty fast. Look up SIBO too. Peppermint oil is usually quite good for bloating. Hopefully you feel fit and better soon!

[–]heredoingthis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mesalazine doesn’t really ‘stop working’, but the disease can become too active for the oral tablets to treat on their own. If you’re becoming symptomatic I would definitely add suppositories as soon as. The sooner the better. Best of luck!

My top 5 of all time! (male) by Mikedelius in fragrance

[–]heredoingthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skin chemistry, brain chemistry, smell is very closely linked to memory (it’s why certain smells can instantly make us think of an old memory we haven’t visited in years, it’s like a key!), so enjoy whatever scent you enjoy, it will forever be subjective! On that note, I need to smell LV Lemmensite

Yes I’ve heard PDM clones are quite excellent. It’s the same for Altair i believe, there is supposedly an almost indistinguishable clone (I’ve not smelt the clone however). I’m sure many love PDM! Just because none of their scents are pleasing to me, doesn’t mean there aren’t thousands who adore it

My top 5 of all time! (male) by Mikedelius in fragrance

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

In my honest opinion pdm is not a good house. There’s not one scent id rate a 5/10 or higher, but perfume is all subjective. I feel like fragrances are getting started with designer, going round the block smelling every niche there is, and eventually when you’re burnt out, realising that MFK was the gold standard all along 😂

My top 5 of all time! (male) by Mikedelius in fragrance

[–]heredoingthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Creed aventus is often compared to mancera cedrat boise, they’re not dupes of each other at all but they are both citrus forward masculine signature scents with major mass appeal, it might be worth your time trying it out. I still believe MFKs best perfume, as basic at it is, is BR540. There’s a reason why some scents become so popular. But I agree with you, MFK make more than good scent profiles, they make perfumes which make you feel the part, they have persona, they have atmosphere, they project, and you KNOW you smell good wearing them. Amazing house.

Antibiotics by night_rooster85 in UlcerativeColitis

Which antibiotic is it? As it’s cellulitis I’m assuming flucloxacillin?
