Hi guys, me again sorry!
I started 40mg oral prednisolone 10 days ago, with instructions to taper down 5mg per week, so I'm currently on 35mg. I have previously tried mesalazine suppositories, prednisolone enema and a rectal foam with no joy for my ulcerative colitis.
I noticed a very, very slight improvement after about 5 days, though it was pretty negligible. Right now things seem much the same, blood and mucous multiple times a day, urgency/incontinence (mostly blood and mucous), alot of bloating, general lower tummy /back ache. Should I be seeing an improvement by now? I'm just concerned as I'm tapering down already.
I've left a message with the ibd nurse but just looking for your experiences, thanks!
