My doctor said that the gurgling is the bowel shifting which is what happens when you're flaring......
Thanks!! you're so right, and that's my motto too! The episode in Madrid did shake me up but at the same time it strengthened my resolve to do the things that I've always wanted to do, and one of...
Hey!! Well, as of today, it looks like I'm going backpacking this summer for 6 weeks with a friend of mine around south-east asia!! we're flying to bangkok, going to travel northern thailand and the...
Oh sorry, I didn't make that clear. She's receiving treatment every 3 weeks- herceptin, zumeta (sp?!) and she's on chemo tablets. She's was put on the chemo tablets around 3 months ago but became so...
Hi everyone.. I have something that I'm pretty worried about and I would like some feedback on anyone who has any comments on it..I have crohn's disease and I post on the crohn's board all the time,...

I think that everyone has at least one saying/motto that helps them get through the tough times. So what is yours? I'll begin! Mine is, when something goes wrong, you pick yourself up, dust yourself...

I just had a look at all the facebook group that picture is in and I have to say it's great! When people ask me what crohn's is or to try to explain it, you reel of the symptoms/effect on your life-...
That's a good idea, I'll ask my doctor about that! I think if I have a medical certificate and declare it, it shouldn't be a problem, but I'd probably make sure I won't encounter any problems with...
Wow, you're quite the traveller! Well the place in haiti is Gros Morne, up in the mountains. As far as I know, the UN are mainly in port-au-prince, so I'm pretty sure it's not a UN controlled area...
