MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Leah,
You are an inspiration to all of us. You have adhered to the program and tested your food sensitivities as you have healed. You are also around on a regular basis to give good advice to the rest of us. Just want to say thank you.

Thank you Tex! I will try!

Hi Leah,

Thank you for the good wishes. I am going to try my best to get back on track.

Welcome Jan and all other new members,

You are going to get great advice on this board! Following it isn't always easy, especially during times of stress. I am a perfect example of that. In November my husband was diagnosed with kidney cancer, and he had to have surgery to remove his kidney. I ...

Hi Tex,

Thanks for the encouraging words. I needed to hear them. They have put a whole new perspective on the way I am viewing this disease.You are right! I need to say good by to the therapies that did not work and move on. I was being far too negative, and feeling like a failure. Now I am seeing ...

I really did try to give Asacol a fair trial, but within a week I was worse than I had ever been over the past 8 or 9 years. Now it all makes sense. LACTOSE! Thanks for enlightening me!
Anyway, due to the bad results, I just stopped taking the Asacol. In just a week I have gone from 8-9 episodes to ...

Hi Camie,

I agree with everyone else. Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm trying to follow the same rule, but it is hard. This disease just takes so much out of you. Hopefully the Entocort will work for you. Hugs!

Hi Carol,

Glad you are getting some relief! I hope it continues for you!

Hi Monique,

So happy for you that you can add some foods back in! Enjoy!

Life with MC is certainly a challenge! I hope each and every one of my friends here feels a little better as each day goes by!

Gabes, I try to be realistic. I know that the road is not smooth. I think I am finally accepting the fact that some nights I need to turn in early, and that it is OK. I ...

Hi Gabes,

Thank you for your support. I really feel like some sort of failure needing so much sleep. That is not anything that I am used to. I guess I have high hopes that my batch of home made chicken soup will make me feel 100 times better by tomorrow. I can hope!
I am one of the lucky ones that ...

Thanks to all for posting on this topic of extreme fatigue. Lately I've taken to sleeping 10-11 hours some nights (not my usual 7). After working all day I get home about 6 pm. I used to enjoy my time from 6 to 11 to prepare supper, do a few chores, and then relax by spending some time on the ...

Hi Lesley,

Just have to put in my 2 cents worth! I think I am just angry that the medical field is so lacking in ways to help us. This site provides more help than any doctor, and sometimes even that is not enough! At this point, the only thing I could suggest is meditation and all positive ...

Hi Lesley,

Your situation sounds extremely difficult to deal with. I wish I had some advice, but I don't have any. Others on the board probably have more expertise. I just want to wish you a speedy recovery.

Marion

Brandy,

Could you tell me exactly what you are taking for probiotics? I am now two weeks off of Entocort after almost 5 months. I'm not doing very well.
