=Thank you for getting back to me, I am researching for my best friend. She is 68 yr old and she began having problems last Oct. Diarrhea every day, loss down to 102 lbs from 128 in just 2 months time. her primary care Dr ordered all types of test but could not get her in to see GI DR until beginning of Feb. She even went to ER thinking it was her heart. Now about the pain in both arms. It is like having a major attack all of a sudden the pain begins in upper arms and them radiates all way down to hands. She said it doesn't feel like arthritis pain, its starts where you would flex your muscles in behind the muscle. says it is like no other pain she has ever had and hard to describe but it comes on all of a sudden and last on average 8 to 5 min before it begins to ease and go away. She was diagnosed with ulceractive colitis in Feb. and is taking 3 Budesonide ec3 every morning.. Her diarrhea is much better and only happens occasionally. Any feeback you can provide would be so appreciate. Thank You in advance and oh by the way she has been my best friend for 59 yrs.
