Oh. thank you for telling me that. I have relief now and feel more comfortable with my treatment. I know that was a little gesture, but I was on Nortriptyline, which is like Elavil. And it wasn't...
Well even though you haven't taken the medicine, it is still nice to hear other types of treatment options. So maybe in the future, if this doesn't work I can tell my GI what I have heard in reguards...
So, as I have posted before I had a resection almost a year ago. But I have continued to have the same pain. Feels like the food is trying to "pass through" I recently had a colonoscopy and CT scan...
I would have to say I live off of it too :) My friends, co-workers, and family all know this too. If i choose to eat at work, I will take two. If i got out to eat I will take them. Basically if I am...
I don't feel like I'm crazy. It's just he acts like I don't know what I am talking about. B/c my colonoscopy came back normal. He was willing to do the cat scan to see if something was missed. When I...
Hey guys, It's been a while since I blogged last. Okay so I had a resection in Feb. I have not felt like I have went into remission yet. I know this sounds crazy, but i haven't. I have been having...
I spent 28 days in the hospital, I didn't have surgery at the time, but only one of the EOB was 121,000!! And this didn't include the Doctors statements (GI, OB-GYN, Infectious Dz Dr) Or the Cat...
Your welcome, it's nice to vent to people who understand, rather they are living with it or watching a loved one live with it. Wow, 11 years old? Just like sickliz said, it keeps stricking younger...
LMills- I will have to check that book out, I haven't heard of it before, thanks Sickliz- It did feel good to get to get it out :) And I completely agree that my kids make me stronger. I started out...
Y'all are welcome :) I just got to thinking about it, and decided to write it on here. Thought it might relate to a lot of people on here, even though that's not such a good.happy thing, but it's...
I was told by my GI not to breastfeed. I started taking Imuran right after I gave birth. I was in a very bad flare up/bowel rupture and 2 weeks after delivery I had to have a surgery. He really...
I'm the one at the grocery store you see buying the same thing everytime, knowing I can't eat what I want I'm the one at the playground leaving in a hurry with my kids, for there is no bathroom in...
I have never taken Humira, but my one piece of advice would be to not go med free during your pregnancy :) I am a prime example of that. And I was following the Dr's orders to quit taking the...
Lovetolaugh- I don't remember what I normal BM is either. Sometimes its nice though cause I would rather go all the time, then try for an hour. I guess lol. I would switch back and fourth before my...
Well I hope that everything checks out okay!! Let us know how it goes!...
Thank you all for your replies. And I completely agree with listening to my body. The first attempt to do the crunches, was my last. But doing them helped me loss my first baby weight. So I wanted to...
I am new to this site and I just wanted to say that I love it and all of the people on here. It is very helpful and I am glad I found it! It's so nice to have people going through the same thing,...
I had my first resection Feb. 2. They took out 16 inches. I was in the hospital for 5 days. I was off work for 8 weeks, but that was only because I had a baby 2 weeks before the surgery. Mine was...
I would get the tightness in the late afternoon, and i took the entocort when I woke up. But it didn't occur again when I started separating them. Your welcome. Maybe that will help, if it is the...
Thank you. I researched and most of it was talking about the physical part, and not the cognitive. I will definitely let her know about HW. She does not have a lot of support around her and I know...
I know how you feel!! I was pregnant when it happened to me. I kept telling my GI it was my Crohn's and he didn't want to treat it. He said I had a virus. So I switched GIs, and i couldn't have made...
I had chest tightness when I was on Entocort. The GI (who is no longer my GI) told me there was no way the entocort caused it. But everytime I would take all 3 pills at the same time, I would have...
I was 18 when I got Dx with Crohn's. I was going through nursing school and had a child to take care of. It can be very emotional at times, but you just have to strive through it. And i completely...
I am 20 years old and Dx with CD. I know that if i wanted to switch to a private insurance company, they would not cover me. I was to high of a risk(and this was before I had surgery and multiple...
My surgery was about 13-14 weeks ago. Yeah I agree 2-4 isn't bad at all, but its a different story if I eat more. :) lol And I was wondering why the same foods before surgery hurt just as bad now....
Has anyone has a normal bowel movement after a resection? I take about 5 Imodiums a day, and still nothing formed. And I go to the bathroom multiple times(2-4). Just wondering....
Thank you all so much. It's been a struggle. But My family and I have made it through it. And I'm just thankful we are here :)...
My brother in laws friend is 24 years old. And she was recently hospitalized, and Dx with MS. They did a MRI of her brain which showed 3 lesions, and her only symptom for going to the hospital was...
Didn't mean to post my story twice. When I submitted it the first time and went back all the writing was gone. LOL, so I did it again!!...
I just want to share my story of my experience with Crohn's and Pregnancy. And I pray this never happens to anyone. My 2 pregnancies were completely different. My first son I had not been Dx with...
I thought this may help someone going through the same thing or curious of what could happen. And I pray it happens to no one!! My first pregnancy I was not Dx with Crohn's yet. It was shortly after...
