Yeah I tried the iron infusion and had a severe reaction, i.e. hives, facial swelling, vomiting and back pain it was so scary! My heart was racing and my nurse got pretty scared when I was like "um,...
I need to start taking iron supplements, and was wondering if anyone knew of one that's really gentle on the tummy. I was just in the hospital all last month and don't need anything messing with my...
I have to be on BCP's because of risk of anemia and my cramps are horrible. I had a full straight month of bleeding after I had surgery, which apparently wasn't related to the surgery but how my body...
I have two things, iron deficiency anemia and a low B12. I haven't started iron pills yet but I need to. I started B12 injections awhile ago and they did help sometimes. Now I just take the over the...
I am glad you didn't have problems. I did all the prep and then couldn't swallow the pill. The nurse was a biotch about it and kept hurrying me along. I told her I had already talked to her about it...
When I gotta go in a public place, I either wait for someone to flush the toilet or make some noise, or I just flush myself and then go as quickly as possible. I also put some toilet paper in the...
I'm not so sure... it's kind of a hit or miss if it shows thickening inflammation or not. The true test is to look on the inside and take biopsies, especially for bleeding issues. But since you just...
Ugh I know how you feel... I had a kidney stone last month, was waiting for it to pass, and it got too painful and I was vomiting a lot and dehydrated so I had to be admitted into the hospital. Well...
That does sound like a bit much, it just seems like you need to find a better treatment for you. Unfortunately when I had my ct scan it showed nothing, and then when I was in the hospital a few weeks...
I think RiderFan is talking about Tylenol with Codeine. We all need fiber in our diet, but the trick is between soluble and insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber is usually very irritating because it...
I have the same problem now, constipation, and I take Vsl#3 (very strong probiotic, go to vsl3.com), colace, and for the gas I take Citrucel fiber supplements, it actually does help and it's the kind...
I started getting pain in my left lung, when I take a full breath in, a couple of days ago. It is still there and possibly a little worse, and now I'm noticing a sore throat coming on more on the...
I have the card and got free Humira for 6 months. Unfortunately, the copay turns into 50 dollars a month after that. My doses just changed to weekly and I hope it's not $100 a month instead of $50....
Congrats! How long have you been together? I got married as a healthy girl and was diagnosed with crohn's 4 months later ironically. My husband is the best supporter, best friend, best caretaker in...
I have not had to have surgery as of yet. I do have a narrowing that comes and goes and kept me from eating for 12 days last summer, only drinking Ensure to keep me alive. I have tried almost every...
I have a capsule endoscopy scheduled in two fridays. I am nervous, because I am having some RLQ pain again starting yesterday when I took a laxative and really messed my insides up. Horrible pain,...
i just took 1/3 of an ambien pill tonight to see if it helps at all. I'm too nervous to take the whole pill yet. I don't want to have any side effects of not remembering things because I have to take...
Ugh I just started prednisone 10 mg a couple weeks ago in the hospital and I haven't been able to start tapering yet. Reading this worries me, I don't want to flare again and have to go back to the...
Can the steroids really do that? I thought people took them for arthritis.... I know this isn't really arthritis but it seems like the prednisone shouldn't cause it......
It has happened a couple times now today, I go to open a bottle/do something with my hands and my index finger just gets stuck, frozen, and I have to move it again with my other hand.. sounds weird,...
I dunno Rider, I am very sensitive to prednisone. At first I was jittery every day from it and i was horrible. My prozac is only 10 mg which is the smallest dose too and I don't take it at night...
Hi, I am on 10 mg of pred and having trouble sleeping every night now. In the hosp. it wasn't so bad but I think that's cuz I was on a lot of painkillers and the nurses woke me up all the time at...
Hmmm my GI told me that enzymes wouldn't benefit me since I don't have any pancreas/gallbladder problems and my stools don't have undigested fats in them and aren't white colored... but since so many...
Does that mean you have bladder stones or kidney stones? I have chronic kidney stones from crohn's and had surgery to remove one that was stuck last month while in the hospital. I am now on potassium...
Hi MAG, I had one iron infusion and unfortunately I had a terrible allergic reaction. My back started hurting and I went to the bathroom and noticed my face was swelling up. I then got hives all over...
