ulcerative colitis
"I am now on my second bottle of Uceris.  It took about 2 weeks before it became effective for my microscopic colitis; in other words, when my diarrhea stopped completely.  After becoming effective, I experienced 2 side effects; first, swelling of both ankles that lasted a few days, less than a week.  After that, I had no ankle problem at all, except for a feeling of pins and needles on both feet, which I don't find problematic.  Second, an increase in appetite, which I needed, as I had lost 11 lb. as a result of diarrhea.  The appetite increase lasted about 10 days.  Uceris has given me a chance at feeling well, and able to live my life."
