- I am trying to stop a bad flare of UC for 3 months now. I've had UC for 25 years, but this is the worst it's ever been. I've been on Delzicol for maintenance and prednisone, but it's not working at all. I am starting a Xeljan tomorrow and...
- I am having an endocscopic ultrasound tomorrow. I have one every year for early detection of Pancreatic Cancer. This is my 3rd one. I have a 4mm cyst on my pancreas that is being watched. My GI has never been overly concerned about it - just...
- 3 years ago, I found out I have mild CP and also a 4 mm cyst in my pancreas. I am now 56 and was screen for pancreatic cancer because my brother died from it. I have a very proactive and preventive GI who is on top of this. When I found out 3...
- I switched to Balsalazide from Delzicol to treat UC. Delzicol was effective but very expensive. Since I've been on Balsalazide, I've noticed some muscle/joint pain and fatigue. Also alot of sinus congestion. I did not have this with Delzicol,...
- I am currently in remission with ulcerative colitis. I had been taking Delzicol for years with decent success. I switched to Balsalazide due to cost and my insurance. I just have a question for anyone who has taken Balsalazide. I seem to have...
- I am dealing with an ongoing issue of ulcerative colitis and currently trying to get that under control with prednisone. I also have CP and have never taken enzymes for it. Can anyone share experiences of how enzymes have helped with chronic...
- I have been posting and asking questions the last few days about both of these conditions since I have both. I have never had any problems with the pancreatitis other than finding out by a screening that I have this so-called "mild, early CP". I...
- I have been posting here lately, trying to get through a terrible flare. Since I was diagnosed with UC in 1998, I have taken Asacol, then switched to Delzicol. These are both mesalamine meds. I have also taken Canasa suppositories, and oral...
- Glad to have found this forum. I have had UC since 1998. I am 56 years old and otherwise in very good health. It is my only real health issue. It has been in remission most of the time and I get flares every 5 years or so easily controlled with...
- I have had ulcerative colitis for 15 years. It has been mainly under control with flare ups every once in a great while. I recently had a very bad flare and had to be put on prednisone. It is much better but I am still having some issues and am...
- I have been dx'd with both gastritis and mild chronic pancreatitis. I also have pancreatic divisum. I had an upper endoscopy with ultrasound and also MRI/MRCP 6 months ago. I have been feeling well with very few symptoms until recently. I am...
- I was dx'd with mild chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic divisum 4 months ago. My lipase level was 79. It was the first time I've ever had it checked. My ALT was a little high at 39. For others out there who have this similar condition, what are...
- My brother died at age 46 from pancreatic cancer. I almost 55. EUS shows pancreatic divisum, early pancreatitis and a 4 mm cyst. I feel well and have no symptoms GI is a leader in PC detection and was the one who urged me to have this done. He is...
- I am 54 and have a strong family history of pancreatic cancer. My GI is a very well-known pancreatic cancer specialist who emphasizes screening and early detection, so he suggested I have an EUS done. In his words after the exam, "the EUS exam did...
- I am so heartbroken. I hope someone out there can give me some hope. My 46-year-old brother was having some gastric symptoms and abdominal pain for several months. The pain became greater just before Xmas. He had a CT scan done which showed a 4-cm...
