My Colitis Story:

I was suffering from abdominal cramps,bloody watery loose motions since almost two years.

One year ago went to a doctor done colonoscopy and my biopsy autolised and he put me on Prednisone, ciplox tz, and asacol with out any real biopsy report. Within 2 weeks my blood pressure went high and I had 3 episodes of severe nasal bleeding. After that I was continued taking asacol for 5 months and was perfectly okay. Again in last August 2012 started having bloody diarrhea and cramps. I couldn’t eat anything…my doctor told me that he can’t prescribe any steroids again and asked me to try to live with colitis..which made me really sad and felt like insulted. And i went to an other gastroenterologist…He asked me to stop asacol and treated me with different medicines including antibiotics..nothing worked much,,,i was in great agony….

One month ago been admitted to the hospital and done CAT scan…HIV test…and some other tests too and everything was positive…My new doctor is very gentle and caring and trying his level best to help his patients…Done 2 colonoscopies again.all biopsy reports shows unspecified mild colitis.he prescribed asacol..and the next morning i was at ER due to breathing problems and chest pain.so he precribed another medicines.now im on Budez CR (3 capsules)..pentasa one gram granules twice daily….with hyper tension tabs…Vsl3 and thyroid medicine…and zapiz..25……now i don’t have diarrhea. My BP increased a bit…so daily monitoring….my hemoglobin level is 12…colonoscopy shows right side inflammation which look like patches…done chromogranin test and its bit elevated and they suspect its due to my over usage of antacids like Happy D …I used to take it on daily basis since years with out knwing the horrible side effects….i dnt knw what to do and im really really worried too…..as i said i dnt want to be a burden for any one…:(.i trust in GOD..thank you friends for reading my post…i will pray for yo too…..regards Anu.
