spastic colon, sun, mon, tues, wed, thurs, fri, sat, sun... lol thank you I needed a laugh but had to broaden it to fit my crohnie butt. lol...
AJZ, Truthfully..I wish I could say I sympathize with you about the surgery pain..honestly my CD was so bad that the pain from surgery was a walk in the park for me. The nurse and dr gave me a...
I started seeing a therapist lol for real..no joke :-P...
I already knew I had a stricture but they also did an MRI to see if it had become worse..that was done one time when I was rushed into the ER with extreme pain. It had become worse. I ended up on...
I am also doing the low residue diet. The remicade doesn't seem to be helping me but they insist I stay on it. Milk never bothered me before and it kills me now. My strength is great. I had some...
I know how you feel. We went out to eat at TGI Fridays one time..and well I ate and I was in the bathroom vomitting (I had a very narrowed stricture) anyhow..There were two girls out near the sink...
Hello Everyone, I have not logged in for awhile and I wanted to just stop in and give an update. I had got really sick to the point I just couldn't do anything without vomitting. It was terrible and...
My GI is tapering me at 10mg a week. I started at 60 then went down to 50 the next week then 40...etc.. I'm at 20 for now and he's keeping me here for awhile....he actually hasn't told me how long as...
Thanks everyone..I had a busy day at the dentist today and wasn't feeling so well but I am going to call them tomorrow and get her an appointment to be seen. I think its important that she is checked...
My 5 year old daughter has been having issues with going poop since she was pretty much a baby...and now I noticed pretty much anytime she eats that she is complaining her stomach hurts...I am...
Congrats to all of you! I have 5 year old soon to be 2 year old and 3 month old. All while having crohn's flares.....no meds or diagnosis at the time! ugh...
Congrats! I should be having my surgery pretty soon.. I'm so nervous about it....
her mommy. My husband and I had an explosive argument awhile back and said some horribly mean things to me. This was probably at the peak of my depression. He actually had the nerve to say if I...
I have that pain!!! I'm sorry I am no help to explain to you why other than I aswell have it. My GI wasn't sure but says that it does happen with certain people. That everyone feels their pain in...
I'm in the midst of another flare up or an intense part of a flare up I guess its been a flare up the entire time it was just a worse nigth than usual last night. I had a bucket in front of me for...
I know I should probably know this but...what are some good snacks that you can have on a low residue diet? Or just general ones..I know each person is different but I was just wondering I went to...
I would love to see it if you can send it to me.. My email address is listed if you click on the envelope....
I was also wondering about this because we have a dwarf hamster. I was reading an article online about it but it recommends that you don't touch them. I will see if I can find it again and if so I...
Squattie, What are the supplements that you take if you don't mind me asking? *hugglez*, Amanda...
I have had a lot of the dehydration issues. I was literally being told that I wasn't drinking water when I was. Thats all I drink pretty much is water and I always have it near me. Sometimes I wonder...
Sarita, I am so sorry that you are going through all of this. I understand completely how you feel and I hope that you can find some relief with all of your stress and depression. I am here anytime...
I really understand where your brother is coming from. I noticed that as of lately I have been getting very depressed and angry lately as well. I'm not taking it out on anyone but I can really see it...
He is a good doctor and I trust what he says I guess I am just sort of beating myself up about it which is definitely not helping myself any. I just feel like I have fallen into some type of rut...
the size my ileum should be and how at this point a pencil couldn't fit through it. He says that if the Pentasa or the prednisone works that he is majorly concerned with the scar tissue making it go...
Thats what i'm looking for thank you all. I want a medical doctor that will be open to whatever it is I feel I need. Which I think maybe a combination of things...Seriously at this point anything...
What are some of the natural recommended products that I should take while getting the med treatments as well? I have been severely fatigued as well and I saw about the b-12 shots so I am going to...
- Pentasa each tablet is 500 mg and I take 2 tablets three times each day for a total of 6 tablets daily. -Prednisone I started at 60 mg. Each week I decrease by 10mg until I am down to 2.5mg...
I do agree with you largely. I am trying to find a compromise for my husband. He is really wanting me to look into the all natural thing thats why i'm asking. I told him with it being so severe at...
Kal I was also worried about the meds. I am on prednisone and slowly lowering my dosages each week.. I started at 60 and i'm at 50 this week. I haven't noticed any bad side effects yet. I wish you...
My husband is really more into the all natural approach to treating my CD. This scares me. I do believe that prescript ion meds can be harsh and really tough on an individual but i'm scared because I...
They basically told me that it looked a little bit worse than the last time I had the tests done (the narrowing in the ileum) but there wasn't an obstruction. Today I just have my laptop open and...
Yesterday (monday) had to be one of the worse days of my entire life. I hadn't had anything to eat all day. I had just sat down I was going to eat some homemade chicken noodle soup but all of a...
Gumby, This is very true. Thank you for the great advice!...
This is a great idea. I find myself trying to explain to my 5 year old all the time the reasons that I can't eat the same foods that she can. I see that she is often upset with me when she wants to...
I also have the issue with the left side. Mine is ALWAYS worse on the left I just don't understand why. The crohn's is on the right side. Maybe thats why I feel like they think i'm nuts sometimes. I...
My symptoms sound a LOT like yours except I feel a ton on the lower left. ...
Ok, I'm sorry....
I started this forum just for people to come sit down and chat. It is in no way to take anyone from here. I love this site. I actually put this sites link on it. I'm not making any money off of it or...
...
Does anyone get pain on the left side? I have a ton of pain on the left side it always SEEMS worse than on the right? Is this normal?...
I'm sorry. I didn't know what the requirements were. /community/emoticons/smile.gif Maybe we can find something like that for in the UK....
I used the phospho-soda its what the gi made me do and it was horrible. I think it has to be the worse stuff. I was vomitting terribly after doing that so I had to take reglan to help with that. Its...
Truthfully with me just now being diagnosed I have to go through all the foods that I eat and re-try them to see what really effects me. I know that I don't really care about milk and that I...
Congratulations. Having a new baby is an amazing gift! :-)...
I had been having symptoms since childhood. I went to doctor after doctor but I was having absolutely no luck getting anything. I even made sure to tell them that Crohn's disease was in my family. My...
LOL that was a great one. Thanks I needed a laugh....
I totally saw that and when I decide what books I want to buy I am going to do that just to support the site. I was even looking at the merchandise. I was thinking about getting either the tote bag...
I really don't know the answer to this but it wouldn't hurt to call your doc or maybe even the pharmacist and ask if its ok to have beer while on Pentasa. One may not hurt but its best to ask and be...
I thought I would share this...many of you probably already know this but it may be good for some newbies to crohns. My sister in law shared it with me and I found it to be helpful. (...
I almost feel embarassed to say this, yet I feel like I have found another family here and lots of friends. This site has really helped me a lot. I really truly appreciate the site and the people...
