ulcerative colitis
"I was diagnosed with this Microscopic Colitis three years ago and the only medication that has helped me is Budesonide.  Well, I was on it for three months and I finally felt like myself again.  Then my doctor informed me that
I should stop which I did.  After a couple of weeks I had the same symptoms
again.  Because it is a steroid it should not be used for any length of time I was told.  So like most everyone else I had tried Apriso, Lialda with no relief at all.  I am now starting again with Budesonide for another course of treatment.  For me I put on weight and got lots of nasty black hairs around
my chin which I didn't like.  That is one of the reason why I don't look forward to taking this again.  However I will use this again for a rest."
