Hey, I accidentally got onto this site because it was part of my favorites and I was searching for another site. The fact that I haven't been on here for about three months hit me as soon as I saw...
If anyone is taking it, how long does it take to work?...
The Asacol isn't working for me and hasn't for a while... Just wondering whose taking Apriso, how you're doing on it, and etc. Thanks!...
I know just how you feel...I've been "indeterminate" since I was first diagnosed. Now they're saying Chrons, but its much easier to say UC, so I'm sticking with it......
I volunteer at the zoo as well, and its a commute (bus, lightrail, bus again) to get there. This is also done early in the morning. I remember a couple of summers ago that I was riding my bike and...
Yeah, everytime I get bummed, I play the "Well, it could be worse..." game. That always helps....
I was right by a major street; thank god the bushes were thick, although from the scratches and bumps, I'm guessing my skin wasn't thanking me for that dive... :) It was very humiliating, actually....
In a bush? Because today, at 6 somethng in the morning, with all the stores around me closed, that was my only choice. Either that or my only pair of pants. /community/emoticons/confused.gif ...
I usually don't eat until I get sicker. My dad gets furious with me because I do that, and I try to explain it to him, and although he sympathizes he can't *empathize*....
Before I even was diagnosed (back in sixth grade), I used to suck on peppermints. They helped with nausea and, if I remember correctly, the cramps......
This actually sounds a lot like what's going on with me, but it's not so much purple spots as they are thick lines. They are only about two inches long (actually look like scratches) and they are on...
I think I would do surgery before I put worms in me. I have a tremendous fear of parasites. *shiver* But good luck anyways!...
Hey I've been looking into taking some boswellia...is there any place you buy it from or do you have to get it online?...
Thanks for the encouragement (and like your nickname, Junkie :] ). Trust me, I know there are other options. I've been through them. Remi stopped working for me about a year ago and Humira really...
It's weird 'cause I've never refused to take any meds and although I hated prednisone, I always wanted to take it just to get back to normal. But, this time, I don't want to. I dropped all the pounds...
it was amazing to hear about other college students with it...makes me feel less alone...
I am a college student and I made sure that the housing people knew about my disease. It was the only way I could get a dorm with a bathroom in it. I still have a roommate, but at least it's just...
Well thanks all for posting...it's just so irritating when you know somethings wrong, but they can't tell WHAT :) I think I'll just keep thinking along with the UC diagnosis although Chron's does get...
I was indeterminate colitis but now my new GI is saying something different....
I just had a colonoscopy...and the doc says the results are more consistent with Chron's. I've been indeterminate for about the eight years I've had this disease, and I'm guessing that the next...
Was on VSL #3 for about two good years and it never really did anything for me except drain my wallet... Sorry, it seems like others are having a good try. Seems like cures are pretty individual with...
i'm supposed to be starting that as well...can you tell me if it works out for you?...
I never had such a long flare as the one I'm having (two weeks, I know, amateur, right?) but it's really getting me. I haven't moved since my mom's couch for about three days except to go to the...
yeah, i went to a new GI on Monday, and he was old (not distinguished old but old old) and wearing jeans and a shirt. He asked me the same questions twice in a row, and at the end of it all, I had to...
Does it make you nauseas (not sure if I spelled that right)? Because I woke up today, sick (as in a cold), and I haven't really eaten anything except chicken and rice soup, yet I seem to be gagging...
Bought some Aloe Vera Juice from Walgreens; drank some yesterday (prob about 6oz). It wasn't that great tasting, and seemed to sting on the way down, as well as creating pains in my stomach a couple...
I've been on 6mp since early spring/late winter of this year; it hasn't done anything bad to me, but neither has it helped... just a lot of blood work....
sheldon's diet?...
I'm eighteen, had this disease since the middle of sixth grade, and the longest I've ever been in remission is probably a year (and that was on Remicade). Recently, it seems nothing has been helping...
