Anyway--I hope you have contacted your doc re: the stomach cramps..Pete is on prilosec 20mg twice a day and this has proved very effective as he does not experience any stomach discomfort..Pete is on alot of meds but I know the prednisone can upset your stomach terribly. If Pete " misses " his prilosec he gets very naseous. It is a pricey med ($104. a week without a prescription plan).Pete has tried other stomach meds but none seem as effective as the prilosec. I am not familiar with the colchicine..if someone else is please post info, otherwise I will go hunting for the info. Rita, this RP can be very scarey at the beginning but rest assured that you will see that most folks become adjusted on their own set of meds that keeps it under control. One thing that amazes me and Pete's doc is the variety and differences amongst the folks and what works for them. Hang in there and I want you to know you have found the greatest group of people in the WORLD!!!!!!!! Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
