Close Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis
I was diagnosed a week ago after more than five years of havng my concerns brushed aside by a number of health care providers. I have another 6 weeks before I will meet with my doctor for the first time. I am already feeling like I will not get any help. I am taking Colazal, but am having horrible side effects and have not gotten a call back from the doctors office so I don't know if I should keep taking it or not.
Treatments
- Colazal Too Soon to Tell
- I am having more abdomanal pain than before, as well as headaches, nausea, and lets not forget the depression.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI was diagnosed with major depression (disthymia) in 1994. I had been fighting for about 6 years at that point. It is genetic as my dad, 2 brothers and 1 sister all have it as well. I am currently taking a cobination of meds and am pretty stable, except that I was recently diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and diabetes the year before that. I am starting to feel as if I am falling apart, one system at a time!
Treatments
- Celexa Somewhat Helpful
- Worked for awhile, but then stopped.
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- Seems to be holding steady.
- Effexor Somewhat Helpful

Treatments
