Ulcerative Colitis

I have just recieved my positive result all biopsys where negative but my dr kept doing blood work. Finally some lab out in California said I had it. I guess it was an antibody test. The colon examine showed a inflamed large intestine . Now he wants me to start on a 40mg prednisone course thats 8 pills a day for two weeks  Then 7 pills a day for two weeks and on and on then if my problem isnt under control I go on it for 2 years straight . Does anyone know how bad this is going to be I know I have A good chance for MOON FACE which I dont want I am really worried about all the side effect associated with this drug please help if possible .Any replies would be great

I would say.......not to analyisze each side effect. All you can do is try. If you have side effects that are bothersome notify your doctor immediately ok?

Hang in there.

Have you tried a search for side effects? Each individual responds to medication differently keep that in mind.

There is much info on medicines oline, if unsure call your pharmacist.:O)

Good luck!
