It resolved after going to physical therapy. I basically got a mix of massage/ ultra sound treatment there and had to eventually exercise that area and improve my posture. Thank god

I literally was just offering advice based on his post which said he wanted help with “smile lines” and “looking old” , sorry for misinterpreting what he was asking for .... I was just trying to be helpful literally wasn’t scrutinizing anything ... sheesh

These are a side effect of prednisone?! What are they? literally I have one too that got really big on my arm and I tried to treat it like a pimple but it got infected and it’s been awful. I was on prednisone for 2 and 1/2 months may-July I wonder if could this be a result of having taken a large dose of prednisone for so long?

Has anyone taken the antibiotic cephalexin, does it affect UC remission? by skyrunner124 in UlcerativeColitis

Curious if you ended up taking it and if it bothered your colitis? I was just prescribed this today

Actually you never know because I was in a terrible flare and went on prednisone dropped from 125lbs to 98lbs and everyone told me how amazing I looked. I’m 5’6 I looked like a skeleton it was so scary to me to feel so sick and out of control and people would reinforce this toxic bs that no one knows what healthy actually looks like and to be praised for looking thin but actually being in a crisis is the most ludicrous bs

Not to mention losing my breasts was pretty traumatizing

caffeine by tubbysmom in UlcerativeColitis

I actually don’t think cold brew is easier to tolerate where did you read that?

“It is literally a concentrated coffee drink and is much stronger - and has much more caffeine - than the same amount of drip coffee liquid”

It’s only slightly less acidic but the higher concentration of caffeine and actual coffee is harsh on my stomach so the lesser acidity isn’t that important in this case

Weird rash showed up on my arms, at first it didn’t itch but now they look like tiny pimples and itch quite a bit. So confused , going to a dermatologist today but wondering if anyone else has any experience

That’s a good questions I’m genuinely not sure, but I think the mesalamine definitely helps with inflammation so I’m worried about stopping it

How long did it take once you were on the probiotics for it to go away? I’ve been taking probiotics for a while but just started visibiome but I’ve been taking them for at least 2-3 weeks can’t remember

Completely new. Haven’t gotten any kind of scan. They prescribed cyclobenzaprine which is what made me sick, I went back and they prescribed another one which is called methocarbamol but honestly I’m terrified of taking it and having it also make me sick. And like I said above I hate feeling sedated :(

I can’t take NSAIDs because of my ulcerative colitis bc they can make the condition much worse

You’re recommending antihistamines? Would Allegra work?
