pentasa enema side effects ??
Hi,
In my last post, i mentioned that I have had undetermined crohn's for 4 years now. I have had a a number of flare ups. The last flare up started last september and I'm still suffering from it up till now. Three weeks ago I was diagnosed with proctitis and was put on metronidazole suppositories twice per day and enema cort in addition to 4 g salofalk and 175 mg azathioprine per day and I'm on 2.5 mg pred after being on 40 mg. These suppositories and enema gave me really hard time and I had to take daily zofran injections for 10 days to combat nausea and vomiting. My stomach became so inflamed that I had to go to hospital to take fluids and a nexuim iv injection. I stayed there for a day and then saw my doc who recommended pentasa enema twice per day instead of salofalk. I have been feeling well until I started passing a lot of mucus, rope like, instead of stool.Is this one of pentasa enemas' side effects? Also, I'm having severe abdominal pain while and after a bowel movement and started to have diarrhea again. I was ok on salofalk but my stomach hurts very much.
It is worth mentioning that I have been suffering from GERD for13 years now. 4 years ago I developed gastritis and duodenitis and I take 80 mg nexuim per day for this.
Sry for this lengthy post but I have 2 questions : Is a lot of mucus ok?
2. I used to take centrum and ensure to be able to work and have strength. Now, I vomit them and they hurt my stomach very much. Any advice regarding what I shall do to fight fatigue and weakness.
Thanx
