To be fair to the doctor, thinking about medicines, treatments, and procedures does change. Also, they are relying on their experience and judgment, as well as current practices and information. You will find one doctor preferring one method or drug over another. It is a good idea to bring up your own preferences, and even biases, so you and your doctor can be going in the same direction. With pressures on doctors to keep visits short, it is a good idea to write down your questions or complaints, and go into the office with this list.
Quality of life is always an issue.
If you can't tolerate the quantity of pills or the frequency suggested than discuss this. If you have reactions to any drugs prescribed, be sure to let the doctor know. If you can't live with a regime, then another option needs to be found. Unfortunately, with IBD, this may be difficult. Remember, you have to be involved.
