I've been prescribed Rowasa 4gm Kit (7 X 60ml) for ulcerative proctitis and was wondering if anyone has any tips to share about using it? It's a bit intimidating as I've never used an enema before, and the side effects list is pretty long. Can anyone share their experience with it? How do you know if it's working? How long does it take to see an effect and are there any tricks to make the administration process less uncomfortable? Do you use a heating pad or other methods to make it more comfortable? Also, what do you do about the mess? How do you clean up and how bad is the smell? Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated.
