Hi Nanners, and thank you for your reply. Yeah I guess that's what I didn't really understand, that they are the almost the same thing so why should I expect one to work better than the other. We're...
I'm sorry you feel so awful and I hope your good days start coming back to you with the energy a 25 year old deserves <3...
Hi all... I love this forum so much, but it makes me so angry and confused for all of us sometimes that I don't come often anymore. So now that I am here I know I really need it... Without blabbing...
Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone knows whether Crohn's disease precludes you from being an organ donor in Australia? I have been trying to find an answer and cannot. Cheers my lovely Crohnies...
Lol you guys crack me up - love this forum :)...
Was that to me LMills? I don't disagree - I think you are very wise to make the most of what you have :) You most certainly cannot live day-to-day just waiting for a cure. It is something I hope will...
I had a resection in 2004. They weaned me off the Prednisone and then I had nothing until about late 2008. I should have been on some type of maintenance drug. I would definitely discuss this with...
Good old January - I had my resection in January of 2004. Was either that or just before Christmas. I said the same thing pretty much lol. No way was I going to miss out on holding my little girl and...
Having a bad day? :) It's horrible isn't it... It is strange the ways this disease 'suddenly' comes out. Thanks for sharing your story, and welcome to the forum btw :)...
You've got to 'hope' for a cure though :) Even if it is someday far, far away... I have recently found out yet another person in my family has IBD. I hope for a cure so that my daughter and her...
Ya poor thing, I know it sux. It seems silly but it's not - it can really get to you. I avoid Prednisone like the plague! lol... I haven't had it for years, and when I look back at the photos of me...
I have been taking Azathioprine (same thing) for two weeks now and yes, it has been making me feel terribly nauseous. But I would not say don't take it. Like others have said, I would just make sure...
Yes I hope for that :) I always say that if I ever win one of those crazy lotto prizes I will donate a huge chunk to help cure Crohn's :p Wouldn't that be nice!!!...
I cannot answer your questions, but I just want to say hang in there. I know someone on here will be able to reply to you with some information. You've got to have some better days coming :)...
Aww, how wonderful! Congratulations!!! :)...
I kinda think that if you are starting to question whether or not you should go to the ER, that you should go. I hope you do not have a blockage and that you feel better really soon. I know sometimes...
Wow - thank you all so much for your replies. I don't know what I would do without this forum. There is such a wealth of information, and to be able to hear other people's experiences it just helps...
Omg that is ridiculous!!!...
Hi all, I was just wondering if there are any huge differences between what a lot of you refer to as 6mp, and Imuran and Azathioprine? Why so many different names for what I am assuming are three...
Thanks for sharing :)...
Hi Northern_sun, Welcome to the forum :) You have obviously been through a lot. I am sorry that it has been so horrible. I have never had a wound like that and I am sure it would be very...
Hi KnittingMom, and welcome to the forum :) Your story was so familiar to me. I had a resection in 2004 and after leaving hospital was weaned off the prednisone but was given no maintenance...
Please don't ever think your family would be better off without you. You are a blessing to your family, disease or no disease....
I am not really sure of the time difference and if you have had your CT scan yet, but best of luck!...
Ugh, you poor thing that is ridiculous! I remember from my first colonoscopy I was saying ow ow then they hit me with some more meds and I didn't remember anything after that. I had a different...
Sorry to hear that your son has been so sick, and that you and your wife are having a hard time with it all. I wish your son the best of health. It is awesome that you care so much....
See, look how nice you all are :) Great to see there are some Aussies active on here too! It actually says I have been a member since 2004, must have been just after my resection (no doubt I was...
Hi all, I have been reading through the posts on this forum for absolutely ages and have found them to be so helpful. I have been too chicken to post but I thought I had better introduce myself and...
