I just had dental surgery and was prescribed vicodan and 600 mg of Ibuprofen for pain as needed. I don't seem to have a problem tolerating the ibuprofen, but is it bad for me to take it even though...
Thanks everyone! Ne Ne-- you just made me laugh out loud at work! A little humor during this oh so fun prep is just what I needed!...
I am scheduled for a scope on Friday. Only my second.... Am I suppose to continue taking Pentasa the day before and day of? Last time I wasn't yet on any meds. Also, anyone have an upper endoscopy at...
I so appreciate this board! Thanks everyone!...
I'll have to try pineapple, too. Wish it would help with the pain, too. Lenny-- never thought of the pet..that would solve a lot of problems!...
Lenny, I keep hoping my co-workers think that I'm moving something around in my office... lol...
I've been taking Entocort for two weeks now and am wondering if my symptoms could be a side effect of the drug... My Dr put me on it (along with Pentasa) because I was continuing to have intermitten...
Thanks for your input. I guess I'm going to tell the Dr. I'd prefer Entocort, more than anything...the amount of time he is saying that I'd be on it, would likely be shorter than antibiotics....
I'm looking for help in knowing the better decision between Entocort or Antibiotics as next step in treatment of Chron's. (I'm sure it depends on the person, but know that many of you have great...
Thanks, Nanners....
I just saw my GI and he prescribed Nulev for cramping and pain that I've been having. I've been talking Pentasa, as well. Is anyone familiar with it? Does it work? Just thought I'd ask, because I...
During Christmas time, I let fun and friends get the better of me. I ate and drank one evening as though I was like my friends who don't need to think twice about what they put in their stomachs....
When you had drainage, could you tell the difference between that and a yeast infection?...
Concerned Teacher, I just wanted to say that your students are very lucky to have you as a teacher! You obviously care a great deal about your students if you have taken the time to seek out...
Whoops. Forgot the rest of my post.... I have had leg cramps, too. Thanks for the post and all the great advice....
Thanks!...
Robyn1973-- You just made my whole day! Miralax did nothing for me for several days and even then didn't do much. But I have severe C. Guess it depends on each person....
Vicky, Sorry to hear it isn't going well! Just wanted to send you good energy.......
positive thoughts to you and your family!...
Ugh. I took your advice and cancelled the ol' dentist appt. Another day of taking time off of work....but guess it's better than asking the Dentist to stop drilling so I can run to the Lu.. Ha....
I remember using filling them with rice, gluing the cap on, and then covering the bottle with colored contact paper (that stuff you line you cupboard shelves with). They make fun rattles... put...
Thanks, Judy. I'm going to take your advice!...
I'm going in for a CT scan and it was just scheduled for 9:00 in the morning on the same day that I'm suppose to go have dental work done in the afternoon. Does the stuff you have to drink really...
Vicky, Let me know how it goes. I just got a call and I'm scheduled for the following week....
Thanks, all! I guess I feel good that the Dr. is ordering more tests and blood work.... shows he wants to be accurate and find out whats going on with me....
What does a CT scan show that the colonoscopy wouldn't? Sorry if this is a silly question.......
Hi, Still new to all of this. I went to the Gastro for the first time today after results of Colonoscopy and biopsies indicated "probable" Chron's. Dr. said he wasn't going to commit to the DX yet....
38, but have had symptoms since being told I was just lactose intolerant after being very ill at age 19...
Again....wise words. Thank you. I am wondering if the Asacol is not agreeing with me. I guess I've just been so use to sucking up whatever I feel in terms of aches and pains. I need to be sure that I...
Thank you all for the warm welcome and advice! Susan, the follow up tests are something I would not have thought of--thanks! I'm feeling much better today having taken all your words and knowing that...
Thank you for your insight, Judy! I hadn't thought about asking him who I would be dealing with if he's not around. You've also helped me immensely by pointing out that their are many people who are...
I was diagnosed with Chron's four weeks ago after I was sent for a colonoscopy for rectal bleeding. Previously, I had never been to a GI or any Dr. about my "digestive issues" that I've had for at...
