I had this problem a lot. It actually turned into severe anxiety and I had to go see a therapist. I started doing breathing exercises daily to try and adapt. I find the only thing that helps me is...
P.S. Good luck if you are trying to get pregnant!!!...
My physician did suggest taking extra folic acid. I took 2mg a day for about 6 months before I got pregnant. I think normal recommended dose is 0.4mg. Once I was pregnant I stuck with this for the...
I am 12 weeks today! I can't believe it. I'm on 30mg of prednisone which has helped a ton. Congrats to everybody else as well!...
My doctor recommended being off Remicade for 3 months prior to conception. I am currently in my 12th week. I got pregnant while using Remicade and so far everything is good. I find that doctor's all...
First off, congratulations!! So exciting and don't say it is stupid of you to get pregnant. Unfortunately, the perfect, healthy period doesn't really exist when you have Crohn's so you have to do it...
Any kind of pasta with creamy garlic sauce on it! mmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
I am almost 10 weeks pregnant (yea!) but in the last week have become very ill. I was doing very well for the first while but almost overnight I had massive flare up. My doctor is suggesting I go on...

Hi Sheena, I posted this questions recently as well. Look at the last couple of pages of questions and you'll find a couple of posts. Stef17 was a valuable resource (Thanks again Stef17). My sister...
I'm usually at the clinic for about 3 hours in total. The infusion takes about 2.5 hours depending on how fast the nurse infuses you. You may have to wait an hour after since it is your first time to...
I have been on Remicade for approximately 6 years I think. I have never had any side effects from it at all. I had big issues with prednisone. I gained 25 lbs in 5 weeks. Which I would be okay with...
I have been on Remicade for 6 years and have never had any issues. Sometimes I feel tired after an infusion but I think that is just because I have been sitting around for 3 hours....
I do some breathing meditation. At first I thought it was a little out there for me but it really works. I find it helps a ton with my anxiety levels. Anything that relieves stress usually helps me...

Dont let the fear deter you. What I have learned so far from posting and reading tons of books is that babies can withstand alot in there. I was scared too (still am) but try and think of all the...
