I am fucking bored. Its almost 7PM here and there isnt shit on the telly. Of course I am watching the history channel so I must not be too bored.
I try, but these pills I have to take 8 times a day have these little time release microspheres in them that I think clog me up sometimes. Every BM has hundreds of little white beads in them.
I take two horse-sized pills 4 times a day. I forget a lot. Those time release spheres have mesalamine in them, which is an anti-inflammatory drug and they get released into the small and large intestine. They don't cure anything... It's more like putting ointment on a burn. They try to promote and maintain remission. If things get worse, I am to go on Entocort EC which is a time-release steroid of sorts. The Dr wanted to put me on it now, but I declined. I also have GERD which is pretty sucky in itself. I take Nexium for that and am supposed to take Reglan, but I have read horrible things about it and don't want to take it, so I eat really bland small meals. Appreciate your guts if they work correctly. I'm going to take a shotgun to mine one day.
Seems like everyone knows someone with it. Luckily it's not really bad right now. I really feel badly for the people who have it severe. Only time will tell...
