I have been gone out of town for a few days. I saw the doc on Tuesday. He told me to stop taking the entocort, it obviously wasn't working. I did notice the pain letting up yesterday afternoon. I am...
Okay this is jsut my opinion.... Men, NEED that release unlike women. It is more emotioanl for us. I know my hubby can only go so long without it. I'm fine without it. If I don't feel good don't...
Hi Roxette, I am still learning, I was diagnosed in Feb (for the second time) and am struggling with pain. How long were you on the entocort before you switched? Pred was working for me and they...
hmmmm....i went to a NAET doc (not sure about him still) he said I had sensetivies to lots of stuff. Maybe I should give gluten the boot. Dang! I'll look into it. Thank you for your reply....
I have been trying to read as much as I can. I have some questions and wonder what you direction you would go. You each have had so much more expreience in this. I don't have the common D, mostly...
Ah Man! That sucks! I am new to all of this, so I can't recommend anything. I just knew I felt great on my week of prednisone....
veebo, I just had blood work done and it came back totally normal. Actually the words my doc used were "If I didn't know I would think you were an 18yo athelte". So what is the pain from? I know I...
Well, OH CRAP! I am weaning off Pred (pain was comign abck after weaning started) and am on Entocort (started yesterday). I was feeling AWESOME on Prednisone. You have me worried about the entocort....
Thanks for the link Kyle, I have wanted to do something similar. I am a sugar junkie...maybe that is one of my problems. LOL! I printed out the basis of this the 85% raw 15% cooked page. I will look...
I dont' seemed to be bothered by foods so much. Alteast they dont' bother me enough to be able to distinguish what it was. I would like to do a stricter diet to see what "could" be giving me issues....
I started taking prednisone a while back after fighting it for a month. I gave in, he put me only on 20mg which was nice. It took the pain away and I noticed abdominal swelling decrease. YEAH! He had...
Okay, stupid in my house is a naughty word. I'm sorry doctors.... I went to the OB/GYN today and he said "It doesn't sound like endo, it sounds bowel to me". The gastro said "it doesn't seem like...
Thank you momikins. I have an appointment with my gyn on Friday. It isn't coming soon enough! The pain won't go away. I may call my family doc in the morning and see what he can do for me. I got a...
Thanks guys for the comments. The pain is still here. I was able to can 21 pints of apricot jam yesterday and crashed in pain...I'm sure it was a mix of being on my feet all day pitting pesky 1 inch...
All I can say is I'm jealous of those of you with friends that only bled for 6 WEEKS or 2 WEES. I was a *lucky one and got it for 6 months. After posting earlier, a friend called and told me her...
I had one for a while (13mo) I was not officially dx with crohn's at that point so I can't comment on that part. I did fine emotioanlly, however I bled for 6mo then began spotting every 2wks for the...
Well, he thinks it is not typical of crohn's and told me I should check with my Gyn. He did call in a script for prednisone. He thinks it is something else though and said to wait a day or two. He...
Hi Nanners... It starts in the back and radiates to the front. Just opposite of the back. The most pain I have had is in the ovary area (where most of the inflamation and bleeding was on the scope)....
Mine is favorable to probiotics. I like Kefir myself....
I am sorry she has this terrible disease. She is TOO young to suffer like that. I can't comment on remicade, sorry....
Thanks inflamed. I found an interesting article....but I do have the crohn's spots in the colon. http://www.medindia.net/news/Intestinal-Endometriosis-Mimic-Crohns-Disease-33410-1.htm The pain...
I have been trying to figure out what is really going on. I know I have inflamation and "stuff" in my colon. My mom who has had CD for longer than i've been alive says It doesnt' seem like crohn's. I...
this thread is interesting. What I was told about pentasa was it is a UC drug but works well in CD patients if they have it in the colon. I was also told it releases ( opens) in the colon. I am...
Hi my name is Shelley. I am 34 and was recently diagnosed with crohn's for the second time. The first time was when I was pregnant with my 4th child. Obviously they could NOT do a scope. Shortly...
