Canasa - experience with this drug

[polarbearfans]

It has been so long that I don't remember what was wrong with it, but any mesalamine drug gave me terrible side effects and actually made things worse. My doctor at the time would only prescribe various forms of mesalamine. I had terrible headaches, trouble with my eyes, dizziness, fogginess, etc. symptoms continued to worsen. I just couldn't tolerate the drug.

My doctor kept saying my case was so mild that nothing else was appropriate. My UC got so bad I thought I was going to die. Luckily i switched doctors who found a treatment I could tolerate. I'm having a little hiccup now that we pulled back on one treatment so my husband and I can try and have a baby, but otherwise I am doing well.

Good luck. Sometimes it takes time to get past the side effects, but you know your body. Trust in yourself and advocate for yourself.
