Health issues

well i got blood and stool tests done and yes that is what the doc told me. but not the "see ya" part. recommended i do a colonoscopy so we can get better samples and look at it up close and determine exactly what it is. so i did that today. turns out i have a rare form of ulcerative colitis. sucks. don't believe me if u want.

Dude, I'm sorry to hear this. That sucks. What are they going to do for you?


I just found out I have dermatomyositis, an autoimmune disease that attacks the muscles and skin and often affects the lungs.

that sucks. i hope it all ends up well for you bro.
im not sure how to answer ur question tbh. they gave me a crapload of meds. some very strong ones like vicodin and prednisone.




they also gave me some other meds which they said ill have to take for life. it's not curable, you can only try to manage it. i looked it up and less than .1% of the population has it per wikipedia...so i guess not a lot of research is being made to 'cure' it, like something like say cancer. sucks.
 
bro i just looked up dermatomyositis, i dont exactly understand it but i feel for u bro. it's also like my 'ulcerative colitis' and has no cure. sucks bro.
are you in pain? what meds did they give you?
im taking a **** load of pills. prednisone steroids. 2 anti biotics. 1 specifically for UC which is to be taken for life. and vicodin.
i just started so i still have pretty much all of my syptoms but the vicodin is helpful. eventually ill be able to get off everything except the 1 UC med. hopefully. im thinking of asking my doc for something stronger than the vicodin tho mostly cuz UC sucks and that time of pain free is so suh weet. also i read on the internet that weed helps with UC. i wish it were legal here. ****.
