I just finished dealing with an anal fissure myself. Thought it was a hemorrhoid first. Went to GI who wanted to do a sigmoidoscopy but I said there was no way that scope was going anywhere with the...
I started having weird gerd symptoms back in January. I tried a bunch of different meds and nothing worked. Then I had an obstruction and wound up in the hospital, lots of different meds and...
Just finished my kale, spinach, parsley, celery and apple juice. I use a Breville and like it. Easy to juice, easy to clean. I must admit, when I get in the groove I do feel better. I do try to buy...
I used Moviprep two weeks ago for my prep and since I have diarrhea on a daily basis it only took one liter of the stuff to clean me out, though I did do half of the other just to be sure. I've had...
I have guttate psoriasis and am currently having my second major attack that came on after having strep throat in June. A week into the strep my entire body, from my chin to my toes, was covered in a...
I just had mine last week and have some activity by surgical site. Oh, joy. I have to go every two years....
Hi Happymommy, I have had this disease since I was 17 and am now 45. My anxiety has slowly increased as the years have rolled by. Now that I have kids I am convinced I am dying every time something...
Just got out of the hospital myself and they wanted three tests on three separate days before taking my C-diff sign off the door. In the meantime, the infectious disease doc started Flagyl just in...

I had a resection of the TI back in 89 and have been on and off questran ever since. It definitely helps with the big D, but I do get the side effects at times. I find that after a few days of taking...
I couldn't do it either and if my mom's around, she's a nurse, she'll do it and if not then I have enlisted my non-medically trained husband. It hurst but it's quick and then over. I couldn't do it....
I'm sorry you're having such an awful time and don't seem to be getting the help you need. I was on Remicade too and then it stopped working for me and I switched to Humira and feel much better...
I downloaded a few meditation sessions onto my iPod and found it very helpful. I also started doing yoga in the evening after the kids went to bed. Unfortunately I fell out of my routine during the...
I was on Remicade for a couple of years and it just started to lose its effect so I switched to Humira when it was still in trials. When the trial ended I wound up having to pay $500 every three...
I felt Remicade stopped working for me a year or so again, I was at double dose every six weeks and I switched to Humira. Worked much better. Unfortunately the Humira costs $500 every three months,...
I had my kids when I was 37 and 39 and have had Crohn's since I was 16/17. I went to a regular OB/GYN and also involved my GI. With my first pregnancy everything went fine and I felt great until...
I take Humira now, but when I was on Remicade I took 6MP as well. I wanted off when the report came out about the increased risk of certain cancers etc. but waited until I switched to Humira. He,...
Over the last few months I've had a red blotchy rash come and go, usually on the trunk of my body or under my arms. I thought it had something to do with the Humira, but turns out it has something to...
Just started it the other day. I started acupuncture last week and she recommended a couple things including the aloe juice. George's has no flavor and goes down easily. I tried it years ago and...
Last year I developed this pain in my chest and lump in my throat that my GI, who treats me for Crohn's, said was probably reflux and gave me some prevacid. After months it finally went away. I...
