looking for help with my colitus
12/11/06 07:13 PM

Hey all, I was recently diagnosed with ulcerative colitus in August after loosing 35 lbs! I was hospitalized and given 4 blood transfusions to get my hemoglobin back up (down to 52 pts...not good). I was placed on Salofalk which stopped the diarreha but not the passing of blood. In September Pantaloc was also added to control the bleeding. Well, it didn't work for more than 2 days without passing, my Dr. placed me on prednisone last Tuesday to try and shock my system into remission. Since last Tuesday I have not stopped passing blood at every bowl movement,I'm getting concerned as this has not happened to this extent yet.

I've been taking calcium supplements as well as iron pills, vitamin D, C, multi's as well.

I've had concerns with breathing and catching my breath the last two weeks at different times. The specialist thinks it may be the start of blood clotting as colitus or the medication makes blood thicker.

Just looking for some feedback, any and all would be appreciated in moving forward with control.

Thank-you,

Jimmy
