What precautions do you take while using topical minoxidil with pets? I started using again and I apply it in the bathroom where he doesn’t go, wash my hands thoroughly and wear a large silk bonnet. I would switch over to oral, but I’m on a lot of different medications for my ulcerative colitis and I’m also really sensitive to medications.
How many of my fellow UC survivors also have gastritis or GERD? I’m curious if it’s an extra intestinal manifestion of UC. At this point I think everything my body feels is UC related 🥹🫠 UC is the gift that keeps on giving.
I started Skyrizi for Sacroiliitis related to my UC. Before I started the medication, I followed up with my GI NP and told her that I’ve read that Skyrizi isn’t recommended for Axial Spondyloarthritis (spine and SI joints). She said because it was good for rheumatoid arthritis that it should help me. So far I’ve had two loading doses and I’m already starting to flare. I gave her the benefit of the doubt because she’s the medical professional, but now I’m mad that I didn’t advocate more for myself when I knew better. I should’ve started anti-tnf or a JAK inhibitor. Now she’s leaving the clinic, and I have to wait for my new GI NP to see me. 🫠 do you think they’ll make me continue skyrizi until after the third loading dose? I’m so scared to flare again the way I did last time. I couldn’t walk or take care of myself for weeks!
