Hi- Okay here's my last 8 months. Went to the ER in December when RLQ pain, this resolved itself within hours after getting just plain fluids. Never had that pain since than. Was given Pentasa, than...
Hi- I posted about a month back having pain on my right side along my ribcage. I had an ultrasound and hida scan done. hida scan had a low ejection rate of 21%. ultrasound was clear, no stones. went...
Yes, absolutely take stool softeners. I can't say I have every gone frequent, most being 5 times in a day. I take an Iron Supplement, so to combat that stopping me up I take a stool softener, like...
interesting, that you said your percentage was higher. I don't have intense pain at all. I walk around fine, can even run, lift things, etc. I feel it the most when I'm sitting down. anyone else out...
I am just coming to terms with Crohn's Disease from being diagnosed in Dec of 2007. At first, it was hard describing everything to my friends, and to some of them they still don't understand, which...
this is good info. No my GI says the Crohn's can be causing the gallbladder problem, not the other way around. I have an appt Monday to see a surgeon and we'll see what he says. I'd love to avoid...
It's great to hear about the Prochrymal again. It seems to me that there's no doubt this will be a leading Crohn's drug in the next year or so.... very amazing....
I've been having soreness, and burning around and under my right rib cage for about a week and half. I went and had an ultrasound and a hidascan. the ultrasound was normal. the hidascan was "somewhat...
I would have to agree to both sides. I completely understand everybody who doesn't believe in seperate theories like, "I Cured My Crohn's" that makes complete sense. I trust the CCFA website and they...
In reading all of these posts, it is making me have a discussion with my GI about this. there have been reports about LDN on the news within the last month and of course the study going on at Penn...

Friends and family are the best medicine for me. always have been. also seeing everyone being happy as well. and watching the Cubs...best record in baseball!...
Has anyone been reading about Procryhmal? Here's some info A significant number of individuals with Crohn's disease do not find relief with existing steroidal, immunosuppressive, or biologic...
Broomhilda, any side effects from Humira? rash, acne, mood swings? I had this all on Remicade. I had little white like bumps all over my face and chest that developed into cystic acne. It's clearing...
Umm yeah I'm not selling it. I have Crohn's. I'm only looking at other alternatives because Remicade gave me crazy side effects, depression, acne, rash, and it didn't seem to do anything. (the...
Remicade has messed me up more and my next option is Humira. In the meantime, I'm looking at some more natural ways. For one, I'm going to start eating healthier. Goodbye fast food and sugars! That I...
thanks for the input, I think part of it is anxiety. I don't feel it in the morning when I wake up. I'm writing a pseudo journal to keep track of how I feel (should have done this earlier). we shall...
I can tell you from experience that the Remicade is giving you the weird acne. I took my first 2 infusions while I was still on Prednisone, which masked the effects. I could see like a weird prickly...
I had the same exact pain. One day I was wiping snow off my car, than felt what I thought was a muscle pull. It got increasingly bad over the next few days, than hurt whenever I took a step. the pain...
the last couple of days I noticed my heart beating fast. I was weaned off Prednisone completely as of April 30. had a reaction the Remicade and had to go back on from May 17th through May 24. All I'm...
I totally agree. I was even reluctant to go into details with some of my friends. Even when I tried to be descriptive, they didn't say much, because I don't think they knew how to handle it. I...
So far from all these responses, it's making it more clear that's it MY DECISION. My mom has had Crohn's for 15 years and only 2 flares. Hers is in the large intestine, mine in the small intestine....
Hi- Anyone have experience with Humira for Crohn's? I was diagnosed in Dec of 2007. Started on Prednisone in February and tapered till the end of April. I also started Remicade the middle of March. I...
