But, this morning, only 2 trips to loo rather than 5-6.... and its was much more pleasant! I am thinking I'll do it when I dont have to work the next day, and see how it goes.Once I work out what I can have and be ok next day, I'll be sorted. Im really lucky at the moment, the only thing I suffer from is the frequency and urgency of loo trips, not pain, just uncomfortable quite a bit, especially at work cos I worry about it more there. At home Im more relaxed so not such a bother.
Currently coming off steriods and on 6 azacol a day.
The spray stuff sounds fab, Im not sure if I even dare mention it to my Dr tho! Then he'll know im considering this kind of thing. All a bit silly really, if it helps, we should have it!
go in their with a bit of confidence and tell them how it is. people shouldn't be reluctant to confide in their doctor. They can't do anything, they are not going to call social services and have your kids taken away... you might even be suprised by their reaction, my GP fully supports me and concedes that the cannabis-situation at the minute 'stinks' (his words) and he said i should do what i have to (i.e. break these stupid laws). My doctors have known from the start, i even made them put it on my record down the hospital, i don't care who knows. it is pretty much all i will talk about with them now.

It'd be brilliant to get sativex, it is already fully available in canada, and it is made by a British firm! if you read this article it says that 12% of all patients at the cannabis clinic in california medicate for intestinal conditions, and in those patients the doctor observes weight gain, comfort and less need for other meds.

i medicate as regualr as i can, and i am convinced it is the right decision not to be on any meds for the damage they can do in the long run. colozide made my hair fall out and gave me mouth ulcers, asacol made my colitis a lot worse, cannabis has saved me. sos for the rant! mention it to your specialist or gp, i bet they say you are not the first person to say so
humedi Reviewed by humedi on . ulcerative colitis stressed, poor diet, had a curry, jan 2007 >> triggered what was later diagnosed as ulcerative colitis. was put on anti biotics before i had been diagnosed, these made me worse (and i believe wiped out some of the good bacteria in the gut). Went on the SCD diet but failed. was given asacol after i was diagnosed, april 2007 - bad for me. then went onto colozide - hair loss, ulcers, bad for me my experiences have left me feeling bitter at the NHS. they offer that toxic shite and ignore Rating: 5
