Before I was diagnosed with crohn's I had the worst joint pains, especially the whole hands and wrists and both knees. Was told by my gastro-enterologist what I had was Crohn's arthritis which some patients get but not all. Prednisone helped control the pain some. When I went on Remicade it went away for the first 6 weeks. I get Remicade every 8 weeks, so it comes back for the last 2 weeks. Concerned Mom for Son, if I may! This is a forum or message board not a chat room. There's a link to chat rooms near the top of this screen in small type if you want to try but not many people do. In a forum people will be online at various times of the day, from all around the world. Jessies girl started this message and you and sick and lucky all posted comments around the same time but you'll notice I'm posting over 4 hours after you. Some posts can go on for days or weeks. when your interested in a post add your comment if you want but rember the topic(subject) heading so you can follw what's happened the next time your on. Example this topic is "Hi! New here and I already feel welcome" Good for you trying to help your son with compuers. They can be intimidating but stick with it you'll learn. I hope I helped! Lastly if you go down further on the lists of diseases and conditions page ( where you found Crohn's Disease listed) you'll find another forum on ostomies which I'll bet is what you need. Good luck and don't give up this web site is excellent for learning many things and getting different peoples many experiences. Regards Grandpa to 2.
