Yep, I'm concerned, too. Shirley posted a query about a week ago, which didn't receive a response.
Love,

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

I'm Here!
Just lots of unwanted stress dumped in my lap within the last month!! Argh!!
Still learning how to find peace within myself to let go of circumstances that I have no control over.
Just very hard for me being a Grandmother..
Healthwise, I'm doing better.
I did go to the allergist/immunologist and he put me on a 15 day course of Pred, Zantac & Claritan.
His theory was that I was having a neuro-immune imbalance caused by stress. EEEEGGGAADDSSS!
As for now, I have been hive free since the Pred.
Still take the Zantac twice a day and the Claritan once a day.
Huh!! I'm even up to 122 pounds now!! Yeaaaaaaa!!! I think the Zantac gives me a late night appetite, so if I get up to pee, do that, then head straight for the kitchen. Love my late night PB & Jelly sandwiches!! LOL!!!!
Passing on the campground this weekend as we are supposed to get severe weather.
I'm sorry for not posting but didn't want to burden anyone with my problems..
Thank You for all of your concerns!!
Love

Dee,
So glad you posted, have been wondering about you. I recently went to an allergist just because I am still having so much trouble even with Entocort. He thinks it is possible that my pollen allergies and possible food allergies are keeping me from remission. He said sometimes our bodies, colon, skin (I thought of you) becomes used to reacting even though the allergen is removed and needs something to make it forget to react. I am having testing July 8. He put me on Singulair in the mean time.
Sorry about all the other stressors in your life. Hang in there!

Oh, goodie, here you are!
Good news about the hives and weight. But I am sorry to hear about the continuing stress. It wreaks havoc, doesn't it? If you would like to toss around ideas for reducing stress, be feel free to PM me. Or we could even chat if you'd like. I don't consider myself an expert on stress, butI'd love an excuse to talk with you in person!!! Don't forget that book that Matthew always recommends, if you haven't read it......"Full Catastrophic Living" I think it's called, by Jon Kabat-Zinn.
Hang in there, dear.
Love,
Polly
