Well, for two days I have not felt so bad.  I have managed to endure work anyway.  Still not out of the flare up but things are better than before.  I only hope it continues.

Not feeling so good.  Seem to be in a nasty flare up of UC.  It started in December but was manageable then last weekend the flare up kicked into overdrive - this coincided with my period. I took...

I've been feeling quite well since last August.  I've had a lot of stress inmy life over the past 6 months so I was surprised that I seem to have dealt with it all without experiencing a flare up. ...

OK, so it seems I spoke too soon.  I started with a flare up Monday morning - just a small amount of blood with bowel movement, same Tues & Wed.  I have been so stressed out about Friday's...

I've actually been feeling OK recently.  My GI switched me from Asacol to Colazol (I'm taking the generic Balsalazide 750 mg 3 tablets 3x per day).  Haven't noticed any weird side effects and have...

Well, here I am again not feeling so good. I kind of knew this was inevitable.  Been stressing too much and working all hours and travelling almost every week for work for the past 5 weeks.  I...

I've been feeling quite run down this past week.  Yesterday morning and this morning things have been 'on the edge of a flare'.  I'm hoping this does not continue.  I'm drinking a lot of water,...

The last time I wrote I thought I was heading into another flare up but I only really experienced the bleeding that one day.  I think my body was trying to tell me to pay attention and rest up a...

Not feeling as good as the last time I wrote.  Today I appear to be starting to flare up.  I wish I knew what caused this, it's so frustrating.  I try to eat the right things - nothing too...

OK, let’s see if I can get this journal entry to save this time.  This is the third time of writing. So it’s been a while and since I’m feeling pretty good I thought I’d update my journal....

OK, time for an update. I have managed to stay off the prednisone - I finished it on Feb 28 then March 7 had bleeding in the morning. At that point I thought 'here we go again' but surprisingly...

It's been a while since I last wrote so time for an update. I am now off the prednisone - it's almost been a week now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things remain quiet. I have worked with a...

Last time I wrote things were a bit unsettled but they seemed to sort themselves out after a couple of days. Anyone have that same problem of symptoms getting worse around about period time?I've now...

OK, not sure what is going on now. I'm still taking 40 mg prednisone and things appeared to be improving....but the past couple of days I started bleeding again - not a lot but still cause for...

OK, so this time it worked. My ulcerative colitis flare up seems to be improving. I have been taking 40 mg of prednisone for three weeks now. Can't wait to get of it but you can't rush these...
