Thank you all for replying!  It looks like all of us have a lot of health issues.  It's amazing that we are all even functioning on a regular basis.  It still say the anti-depressant I am taking for migraines has been fantastic drug which has put my disease in remission.  I am now able to drink coffee, milk and eat fiber rich foods that I couldn't touch normally.  Anyone else experience this?

I have Crohns (14 years), and depression (11 years). Started 6mp in july but had awful headaches, doc took me off 3 days ago, starting remicade soon..can anyone tell me what to expect. Can you drink a few beers even if you are on remicade? I starting jogging in July, ran two 5k's before November but since then headaches, I want to start back up but haven't had enough energy. I am hoping the remicade makes me feel better.

Let's see I have Crohns, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, GERD, IBS, depression, Atrial Fibrulation and arthiritis and bursitis. O yea I have also had my gall bladder removed and have pancreatitis. Also a complete Hysterectomy due to lemon sized cysts and the fact the right ovary was adhering to my small intestine. What else can go wrong , go wrong, go wrong!

Well, I'll chime in with mine.  I'm glad to be reading all of these, and it's nice to swap and compare.  And also to share experiences with different symptoms.

Crohn's since '89, Eczema since childhood, mild arthritis/bursitis, B12 deficiency, and just found out that I have Gilbert's syndrome.  Shopaholic for life!

By the way, the people with possible MS, I had tests done because my leg and foot was going numb (this was years ago).  Had a CAT scan, and other tests, but turns out that B12 anemia can have the same effect on the body, and if gone untreated can create numbness for good.  I do still have slight numbness in my left foot but that's about it.

Thank you all for the info and this forum, it's so helpful!

I have had IBS since childhood but Crohn's diagnosis this year. I also have migraines, Herpes II infections on my face, hx. of polycystic ovaries, frequent eye infections since childhood (also related to Crohn's??) Two years ago I had several months of numb arms and legs and I was worried I had MS. The MRI's were totally normal, and it eventually went away on it's own with no diagnosis. After reading some of your replies I now wonder if it was related to B-12 or something else related to Crohn's.....Hmmm, I chalked it up to one of life's unsolved mysteries!
