1 Week Into Mc Therapy

I am a week into my Entocort steroid therapy for microscopic colitis. I can say that I have no discernible side effects from this drug. It has slowed down my bowel significantly. I am no longer running to the bathroom 8-10x/day. I probably go about half that amount now. The quality of the bowel movements has improved but it varies throughout the day. I have not had significant cramping/pain since starting therapy. That was the most debilitating for me was the cramps. I would be late to work consistently due to waiting for cramps to subside/fade.

I think I may have increased thirst but I don't have the steroid side effect of wanting to eat everything in sight that many people get from drugs like prednisone (very thankful for that).

 

Hoping for continued progress....

Entocort worked for me when I was diagnosed with MC in 2010. I believe mine was caused by generic Zoloft. It went away w Ent. And stopping Zoloft. It comes back if I take NSAIDs or SSRIs. Luckily, it goes away quickly when if I stop taking them. Good luck. It must be great to be on the mend!!
