Re: 16 year old with ulcerative colitis

[Guest guest]

My UC symptoms started improving immediately, so I would say yes, that is possible.  I had/have more nausea type side effects.  Usually fine once I eat something in the morning. 

 

I had 2 thoughts. 

 

1 is she small?  16 yr olds can run the gamit but if she is under 100 lbs I think there were some suggestions of lower dose ... but I'm no expert here ... it has been a long long long time since my own weight was anywhere near 100 lbs.

 

2 ... any other meds she is on that could be playing a role here?

I have just started my 16 year old daughter who was diagnoised in april 2008 with ulcerative colitis on ldn. Would be interested to know how it may be effecting her I only started her on it on thursday I give her 4.5 on thursday night and although I thought she would wake at around 4 am she slept right through and did the same last night. When she woke yeterday morning she said she felt very dizzy, last night she had the chills, and this morning she had a bit of a panic attack while she was in the shower just wondering if anyone else had these symptons when they started taking ldn and will they go away, having said all that and I know its early days her uc seems to have improved already is that possible or just coincidence.
