Ulcerative Colitis
"Currently on my 2nd round for a &#039;flare&#039; in my colitis......first time worked it&#039;s magic so quickly I couldn&#039;t believe it (started at 20mg for a week, reducing by 5mg each week). This time, I&#039;ve been taking 20mg per day constantly and, although symptoms have improved slightly, I&#039;m still suffering from urgency, diarrhoea and stomach cramps.  I don&#039;t seem to be experiencing any side effects as yet but have another 2 weeks to go until I&#039;m back to see the hospital consultant.  Really don&#039;t want to be taking this for a day longer than I need to.  Also taking Azathiroprine"
