My answer to SSDI . What I do each day .

I'm not sure about the correlation between Crohns and Diabetes mommajo . In my case this all started while being weened off of Prednazone . I started having Addison disease symptoms and then my blood glucose when south , or north depending on your point of view . Either way that was the beginning of it and we haven't been able to control it with diet or meds so now i'm on insulin . Not much help with your question I know , but maybe ask your GI when you see him next .

I know, me personally, that my sugar cravings have gone through the roof.  Not the kind that can be controlled by will power, I mean I need it, I gotta have it, I WILL have it.  I voiced this concern to my doctors but my blood work keeps coming back pretty good, a bit over the high end on triglycerides though.  Again no answer specifically for you.

Sniper, my wife had to ask what I started laughing out loud about sitting quietly by myself in my den.

Sniper, in your original post (which is HILARIOUS by the way), does AS = Ankylosing Spondylitis?

Sniper, my husband has AS. He's had it since his late teens. He's now 51, has had two left hip replacements (one in his early 20's and one in his late 30's) and I suspect he's about ready for a third. He can no longer stand up straight - he shoulders are way hunched over - and is in pain 100% of time. Yesterday when he came home from work he could barely walk - said he thought a muscle in his buttock was seizing. For the life of me I can't get him to go to the Dr. STUBBORN. I'd love to chat with you about what type of care you receive for the AS and how you manage your symptoms.
