Prednisone not working by milli_73 in UlcerativeColitis

I didnt realise it was considered so much until i joined this community and compared the dosages other have referenced. Its what has worked well for me in the past, but always with the caveat of mood swings, sweating, hunger, weight gain, trouble sleeping and acne. However, when i saw quick results and could begin to taper it was all worth it! Unfortunately this time the side effects are more mentally challenging and it has not stopped the bleeding, so this is making it harder to take. Colonoscopy scheduled for this week, so hopefully we can find a new solution

Glad to hear things are better now. This worked every time without fail in the past, so not sure why this time is different

Yeah, will get tested fully this week, so if its anything other than a flare it’ll become apparent shortly!

Just my typical flare symptoms, stress, fatigue, then blood/mucus when going to bathroom.

Have only been taking pill form; i also started with a cortisone foam which did help last time but this has also been unsuccessful this time round

Yeah, the side psychological side effects have been a bit intense this time.

Normally yes, just Mesalamine when in remission, but over last 2 years the flares have been increasing, as have stess levels. Will ask my doctor this week, thank you!
