Mesalamine and weakness


Wed, November 21, 2018 5:58 PM

Hi--I have been on Mesalamine for 2 months. 4 pills a day, and rowasa nightly. Things have gotten much better, but other things have happened. Is it normal to feel weak and tired while taking these meds? Also, I have lost a lot of weight since UC started, and now I am maintaining, but I always seems tobe cold wih the chills. Is that normal as well? Any input as always is so very welcome. Thanks

Hey im prescribed the take the mesalamine, but take it more as needed which probably isnt advised. Ive notcied having UC in general can make me feel fatigued because our food isnt being absorbed into energy as well as it should be. Make sure you take a womens multiviatmin every 3 days, along with iron and fish oil. These things have really helped me.
