Sending you best wishes for a great surgery, recovery and relief!!!!...
This is so weird, they said it's not too uncommon for Immunodeficient people to have an autonomic disease as well. It came to a total surprise for me. I'm almost positive there is nothing wrong with...
I had surgery 6 weeks ago and I feel the same I did before surgery minus all the bad intestines in me. I went to the Dr. today and they think I might have another underlying disease. I'm going to the...
Thanks for all your input everyone. You are right, it takes awhile to recover and I just need to realize this. I had a follow up today and the nurse practitioner gave me some type of cholesterol...
I had a resection at the terminal ilieum. Seems like I have the same symptoms I did coming in and they got all the bad stuff out and said i was crohns free... well as much as you can be at least......
Sounds like a case of Vertigo. My Mom got that and those symptoms stick with you for quite awhile! Good luck!...
I don't count my calories at all but what I do know is that one day I'll get full really fast and the next day I'll never get full! I don't understand it. Do you guys have this at all?...
Dragonfly I was going to ask the same exact thing! My stomach/intestines just will not settle down. Painful gas and bloating has been a problem ever since after my surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago. I'm laying...
I had surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago. I don't feel any different. Still feel like crap. Is this normal? Losing hope......
I get mine at Walgreens. It's just a vitamin not really a specialized drug such as Humira....
I can't believe it already time for my surgery. This week has been a hard one. I haven't ate since Sunday. I'm tired and weak. Doing my bowel prep right now and it's not working out to good. Have you...
Hi Guys! So the big day is almost here. I'm supposed to go on a light diet on Monday and was wondering what you guys suggest for that? I'm not exactly sure what that means or what it consists of....
Right when I thought I have taken every supplement I could they added liquid potassium to my diet today. Anyone use this? When the nurse called me today she said it doesn't taste good. What do you...
I get charlie horses once every few months in the middle of the night! I wake up and it hurts like crazy!!...
CALL...
I have absolutely no idea. I was diagnosed at such a young age. I had no problems prior to it or stress or on any other kind of medications. I wish I knew how it happened....
I'm currently in the same situation!!!! Both my physician and surgeon wants me to be on Humira for 8 weeks prior to surgery. They said less inflammation before surgery is a lot better. Although, they...
I'm having surgery next month and they put me on Humira a few weeks ago. They said this will actually shrink my stricture and may cause me to have emergency surgery. They didn't really give me the...
I hope you're feeling better and are out of the hospital soon!!...
My hospital is number 34! At least it's still on the list right?...
I spoke too soon... I feel like crap again. I had a good 3 days of feeling good at least lol...
Best of Luck Shawn!!!...
Loss of appetite, diarrhea after eating, stomach pains...
I've been feeling pretty good taking this stuff! Has anyone else felt good while on this drug? It's supposed to keep my stricture open until surgery. Just seeing if it was actually the steroid or...
Get Better Soon!!!!...
Where do you get chewable vitamin D and calcium?...
Flinestones aren't bad but I haven't taken those in 10+ years! I'm trying to go for the adult type of chewable vitamins. They might be more fit with the vitamins adults need more then the kid kind. I...
Good luck with everything. I'm sorry that you had to face all of that! Take care!...
Yup, that's why they want chewables. My body will be able to absorb more of it. I'm surprise more Crohn's people don't do this. It makes total sense now that I think of it. I'm going to do that with...
My doctor told me this yesterday...
I just started Humira... what's RLS?...
Ice cream would be good just because it's easier on your stomach and higher in calories. Or high calorie drinks...
Okay thank you guys! I know that if you don't keep track your body will cause an allergic reaction. So I had a minor freak out because that happened with Remicade when I was 11 or 12. JAB-- How are...
I've been taking vitamins for years and they NOW decided to tell me that chewable vitamins are better to take. Do you guys take the pill form or chewable form?...
So I'm having a brain fart and I need someone to reassure me before I freak out. I had my first dose of Humira on June 25. I take my second dose of two pens this friday right? July 9th? I wait two...
Get better!!!!!...
Thanks again for all your advice. I know that if I feel really bad I should probably contact someone right away or go to the ER before it gets worse. Sounds like it's very hard when an obstruction...
Sounds like you all have had the same symptoms. I appreciate you telling me what they are. I'm so paranoid now because I'm so close of getting an obstruction. I'm a walking time bomb for now! I...
I had my appointment with the surgeon today. I was supposed to have surgery July 8th but they are postponing it until I've taken Humira for a full month. They said my stricture might close as the...
WORSE THING EVER!! I gagged every sip I drank and puked some up at the end. I held my nose and took a chaser of lemon lime soda each time. It tastes like thick salty chemically lemonade. Try not to...
Just got back from my first four Humira injections. Those hurt pretty bad, way more than a b-12 injection. I survived though. Hope this makes me feel great. Mmac - how did it go for you today?...
My first Humira injections are tomorrow as well!! Not nervous at all... sucks I got my 2nd Gardasil shot today so I'm already one shot in for the week :) Good luck tomorrow! I hope it helps both of...
WISH YOU THE BEST WITH EVERYTHING!!...
Hi JAB! What happened with your doctor's appointment? Did they conclude what you'll have to have done? Well, my resection is being done because I have a stricture that is almost closed. I have a...
Steak and wild rice No stomach aches yet! lol...
Good Luck with everything your health and your bar exam!...
So, my surgeon's assistant says recovery time is 6-8 weeks. Please tell me this isn't true......
Mine won't even call me back!!! I need to have surgery ASAP!...
I don't know where your pain is but sometimes I get really sharp pains when I stand up on the side right above my pelvic bone. It's not a very nice surprise either....
You guys are incredible! Thank you so much for all your information, advice, stories, and considerations. Everything you say is so greatly appreciated especially when you have no clue what's going to...
