i had forgotten how funny and great you guys can be. No cant divorce them but i can set limits. I just think in reality the vet might be doing what she can. Believe it or not the med is azazan. Been...
thanks for responding. I am so embarrassed at my families views on this. I really think my dad is so worked up about it being a genetic thing. As if there is something wrong with him that he cant...
This is nothing new but it's one of the big reasons i back on. They have never believed in the disease rather choose to believe it's all in my head. Went so far as to tell me that I could not...
I hear you. Its been almost 6 years. You make a good point. Need to consider that when I discuss it with him. Would be easier if things were explained better and I didn't have to always go fishing...
Thanks, I have had 6 surgeries. only one I could say crohn's related? But 6 in the abs. still not sure. I have always agreed to what ever. The one time I spoke up, I was out. just like that. Its got...
Could simply be thrush in the mouth. Yeast infection. Possibly a sign of crohn's? If its that out of control. Not real sure why you have chosen to concider crohn's? As a woman with crohn's I suffer...
New doc. is requesting new Colonoscopy? According to him, I am in need of a new one every year. Last doc. requested every 5 years unless there appeared to be a need. My last one was a year ago with...
just curious if anybodies had any trouble with yeast infections? not just female. in the mouth, hands, feet etc..? would apprectiate it. thank you RJ...
Thank you so much for you'r reply. After six surgeries and 15 biopsies(sp) that were positive for crohn's ( that was 3 different colonoscpies that was performed by 3 different doctors [i believe it...
Hey guys. I'm sorry that I have not been on lately (or for a while). I had a pretty bad accident a year ago and we thought I was going to lose my right arm. Very painfull and I still have not gotten...
Sorry I am to hear this. It took about 20 years for the docs to figure it out. I was diagnosed at 34. You can see the evidence in my pedeatric[sp] med notes. When I was younger the docs said I was a...
Call the GI. Could be a Yeast infection. I think it's what they call Thrush. [Could be wrong though] Dentist could help so I would call both. This happens to me a lot. Especially if I on preds. Also...
My last colonoscopy was last Sept. 07? I know magic mouthwash will help the mouth, but I hate latican[sp] as much as preds. But the sores are starting to erupt in my throat. Preds is a crazy drug....
You'r making sense. Though I think he'd reach for preds first anyway. I started the preds today. It's already causing problems in my mouth and knees. If the joint pain gets worse tomorrow I guess...
Hey guys. Got some results! No infection. So doc said it was a flare. Blood work came back full of weird numbers. Redblood cell count is very low. Potassium way low. And something about inflamation....
Not sure never tried it? How well does the immuran and pred go together? Doc suggested a small round of pred to slow me down if this is a flare and I am already on immuran 150mgs a day. rj...
Not sure about that? My experience has been that I was better off moving around than laying around. My gut likes to be walked or ran. Is this a gym class like in school or a gym to lift weights? Look...
Jen77 That is exactly what he said. Never stress over the color but the man doesn't have crohns. Funny though the color bothered me and the blood bothered him. You should have seen that green....
That has to be the best story ever!! I'm jealous now. rj...
I just walk away or back away very quickly! Truth is if I have to be somewhere I plan for it. Cover all you'r bases. I carry a much larger purse than I used to. rj...
MMMNAVY that sounds horriable. I can do without the burning. Doc. said not to worry about the color. If it was green it was just bile and not poop at all. Blood bothered him though. He says I either...
How do you tear a gut by going fast? The color was pretty bright. I think it's more the amount of blood. Blood is usually mucussy. This was thin. Right like I had a cut! But will it stop? I have been...
O.K I have an appt. at 1:45 today! Any thoughts though would be so appreciated. rj...
What is going on with me? I just had a painful poop time and was shocked to my core when I was done! The color was an incredible color of green? Then there was a bunch of bright red blood in the mix?...
That would be very nice MMMNAVY. I don't think I'm getting anything. Even my thoughts and concentration is going. How fast can food possibly go through. One bite and it's as if someone turned on the...
Ativan is huge. You have to be very careful with that drug. How many crohn's patients do you think have these same anxiety problems? Is the anxiety kicking the disease into gear? Controling you'r...
Mango!! and cantelope[sp]!! I have never been able to handle fruit. But for whatever reason it works. At least most of the time. rj...
It did and I think I understand problem. Is it like you'r mind is racing. You can't stop thinking?? I'm like that. Why go off the Effexor?? Could you try anxiety controling meds. My PC is trying to...
I've never heard of the stuff. So i don't know? What's Effexor and how did it effect you'r sleeping? Retraining is the only way I have ever gotten my sleep back. What's the problem with ambien? I was...
I have bladder and kidney pain at times. Check you'r potassium level. Too much and the linning od my bladder infames as well as the kidney's. I have to be very careful with fruit and juice. Not to...
Be careful with pain meds. There have been times and certain ones the cause more pain than I was having. Tramadol is a good one for the gut. I have never had a problem asking. But usually if I am in...
I don't want to turn my back on meds. I just feel frustrated. I can usually work a problem through. This time however I come up blank. I am so hungry, but afraid to eat. My weight can't go down...
I agree going off meds. without telling the GI would be disasterous. I think he'll have some ideas. He is quite proud of his work with me. When we first met I was in such bad shape and this disease...
Oh boy, it was a loaded ? right? I'm on 150mg of immuran [azasan], dicyclomine, prevacid, there's a number of stuff I take as needed. I think it's the immuran. I feel yucky everyday. But what seemed...
I am thinking about stopping all meds. I was wondering what you think? I have been taking something for crohn's and the tag along problems for 3or4 years now. I am very tired. I see my GI monday and...
How about the "no" diet. I'm always better if I just don't eat. Hard to live like that though? rj...
I see a therapist. Wouldn't trade her for the world. We work on anxiety issues. Very helpful. This way I can talk about my crohn's issues without always having to bother family and friends. She will...
Don't worry just had a CT scan this afternoon. As far as I know it's O.K. They said I had a concuion[sp] No bleed No clots should be O.K. But the tongue thing can't be answered yet. It's driving me...
Guys it's a tough thing. I have found when I take the crohn's factor out I get better results. When a doc asks me now what I think I need I usually know. You can't banter back and forth. The he said...
Crohnietoo you've got it. I can't remember who to give credit for what I'm about to say.[it's been awhile since I've been here] It's about the level of smooth. You can learn to do this kind of thing...
Oh well that surely doesn't sound good. Problem with running to the doc. I'm afraid that I'll be told it is something bad. Last week I was in his office and he accused me of drinking in a way. My...
You'r right some of the meds are very unforgiving. But you learn eventually how to go about it. I have only tried 3. 1st, bental[sp] or Dicyclomine. 2nd servira or donnatal. Can't remember the third...
You do need one main doc. Keep looking till you find one. My search exhausted me. I finally walked in and stated my postion clearly. Worked. Been with him now for over a year. If they don't get to...
well said Mark. rj...
I have that daily. I take a colon relaxer for it. Really helps. rj...
It's been going on for about 2 to 3 months. My belly pain seems to be increasing as well. The pain is just to the right of my belly button. Had to ask for pain med for the first time in over a year....
Sorry to get back to this so late. The thing is I'm not on flagal or any new meds. It's not just the taste it's the feel of it too. Like my tongue is numb. I thought maybe a yeast infection. I have...
I tried one the other day. made me worse! Try eating 1 mango a day. Eat a mango is my cure for everything at the momment. rj...
Feeling really stupid right now???? What is LDN? rj...
Anybody got a funny metallic like [or feel] taste in you'r mouth? redjeep...
