MToronto2, I found one in Guelph and one in Waterloo. Definitely something that i am going to look into. Gotta see if my benefits cover it. Sounds like a promising alternative. Thanks so much for the...
OMG! I can check off more than one on that list and not just because I read it there. I have been having heart palpitations, dizziness, tingling and extreme thirst. I noticed this swelling last week...
Thanks everyone. My husband is just telling me to drink more water and cut out the sodium. *sigh* I ONLY drink water or juice and hardly EAT much less something that is high in sodium. I might let...
MToronto2, anywhere near Stratford or London would work. Kitchener wouldn't be too bad either. I'm kind of right in the middle. Thank you all so much! I had forgotten how awesome it is to talk to...
/community/emoticons/mad.gif Holy crap! i haven't been on here for a couple months and this is my second post in two days! i woke up this morning with CRAZY swelling in my feet, legs, arms and...
Thank you so much! I had asked the chiropracter about the pain afterward and he looked at me like i had two heads (which, for the record, is ONE thing i DON'T have). I AM in Canada! If you could...
My Crohn's has been doing pretty well lately. Little pain and able to eat a little more. My back, however, is complete agony. Pinched Sciatic nerve and muscle spasms up the middle of the back. I have...
Ouch, yes. I was diagnosed with CD in August 2009 so everything is still relatively new to me and it is really nice to hear that other people are experiencing some of the same things and to hear how...
OMG! I know exactly what you are talking about. I get the same thing. If it is not crippling pains, it is the feeling of a muscle spasm you might get in your leg, but it's on the inside. If you are...
Welcome. I'm new here too and the information and reassurances that I have been getting have been awesome. I was diagnosed in August 2009 after 6 months of suffering through test after test and delay...
Thanks Artist Guy. Not sure how to do that. Too new to all this chat stuff. Can use as much inspiration as I can get. Was feeling great for the past week and now going downhill again. Grrrrr. Seems...
I will definitely get my vitamin D checked. I went into my family doc the other day and demanded to have my B12 checked. He looked at me like I had 3 heads but the results came back on Friday and it...
I caved this weekend and had pizza. Pretty sure i'll be calling in to work tomorrow! We all have to give in once in a while to remind ourselves why we can't do that. :)...
Bravo. I showed it to my husband and i think he has a better understanding of what i am dealing with now. he doesn't realize what is going on because i have refused to slow down in front of him and...
This is great information. I am new here and am just soaking up the info. Quick question, what is a CCFA card? My husband and I are travelling to Panama in 3 months and my Crohn's isn't fully under...
Is this something that the doctor has to prescribe for you or is it something that you can do on your own?...
If you are drinking water, add a couple slices of lemon. Natural detoxifier and really helps flush out the excess water retention. I swear my grocery store must think that I am in the lemonade...
Also, does anyone else get swelling of the hands/fingers, feet/ankles/legs when they are not on any meds. Mine have been coming and going and it is very uncomfortable and I wasn't sure if this was...
I was diagnosed with Crohn's in August 2009 after a frustrating and painful 5 month ordeal waiting to see a surgeon. I lost 30 pounds in 5 months and am just now able to eat small meals without...
I was diagnosed with Crohn's in August 2009 and finished my first round of Prednisone at the end of November. I only did 6 weeks of it and only 40mg but I am STILL waiting for the rest of my moon...
