I started to look for actual human research done on Xanax and Pregnancy and this is what I have found: Reproductive Data on Specific BZDs Alprazolam (Xanax) Several human studies exist on alprazolam...
I have been doing research on the computer since yesterday and this is what I have found and am confused. I can't find any studies showing that there has been human studies during pregnancy (only in...
Thank you for responding to my post. I have tried every medication under the sun and for some reason had bad reactions to them so this doctor I have been seeing since 2004 decided it was best to just...

Thank You everyone for all your support. I had to put another post up because last night I was in a lot of pain in my tummy (it was a burning type pain) and I felt a hard mass. My husband and I went...

Thank You Nanners. The doctor didn't even tell me to follow up with GI about my gallbladder but told me to follow up with them about my liver even though I told her I told them and they keep telling...
Hi Nanners, I actually did eat a fatty meal yesterday after the infusion but I have ate it a lot of other times :-(. I had a philly cheese steak (minus the onions and cooked well done) with french...

I know I really sound crazy right now because the anxiety is really kicking in. I forgot to ask if it is better for me to eat because I am so nervous I don't want to and feel like I am about to throw...
Thank you everyone, I really wish I could say I am feeling less nervous but I'm not. I am so anxious that my body is shaking (as if I was cold) and I feel like I'm going to throw up. I really don't...
Thank you everyone, I have a couple of questions.........If I am going to have some type of side effects or reaction will it happen while I am there getting the infusion? If everything goes ok when I...

Marina coil? Do you mean the Marina IUD? Or are you talking about the coils that are put in each tube (similar to getting tubes tied)? If you are taling about the Marina IUD then it can cause some...
When I am having a lot of D I take imodium. I think you might want to call your doctor first and ask. The reason why I say this is because maybe you should make sure it's not a stomach flu or...
Hi John, I found out I had crohn's 4 years ago and bcause of fear of medication and denial of having crohn's I wasn't letting the doctors treat me with the right medications. Over this last year I...
I know how you feel and have been there but you have to keep fighting. I have EIGHT kids (2 of my oldest moved to another state and my 3rd oldest has her own life about an hour away). My youngest 5...
Congrats!!!! Try not to worry and put yourself under more stress. My GI doctor told me both Humira and Remicaid are class B medications which means they are safe during pregnancy. Make sure to get...

The biggest problem I have is everyday D for 4 years now. I can't plan anything at all, not even the next day. I feel bad because my kids will ask if we can do something and all I can tell them is we...
Thank you so much everyone. I am starting to relax more but am sure as soon as I find out the exact day I start I will be posting again. One thing that sares me is I could do well the first infusion...

Thank You so much Beck, you have been so supportive to me since my first post. I really wish I could have started the Humira this week because I defiantly felt much more comfortable with that option...
I was suppose to start Humira this week but after going to the GI clinic Tuesday they feel Remicaid would be better because of perianal disese and rectal fistulas. I have another post up regarding...
Hi Everyone and thank you again for the support. I am not going to lie, I am still nervous especially after reading a post this morning with someone who just received their second infusion friday and...
I am suppose to start Remicaid (possibly as early as next week). I put a post up because I am very nervous. I read someplace about getting flu like symtoms after getting an infusion and when I asked...
Thank you so much everyone for taking the time to write me. I wish I could stop feeling so anxious about this and focus more on the positive (that this might really work for me). If I am already...
I drank a lot of orange and yellow gaterade so I wouldn't dehydrate because it puts the electrolytes back after running to the bathroom so much and helped to keep me from feeling so weak. I also had...
Hello Everyone, I went to my GI and they felt that Remicaid will be the better choice for me regarding the perianal disease and rectal fistulas. I thought I was ok with the decission but came home...

Hi Julia, I do have the option to go on Remicaid and while I was just admitted in the hospital they were going to give it to me but I got really scared. I never got out of my head what a doctor told...
Ok, Now I feel so overwhelmed and sad. Just when I started to not feel so anxious about taking Humira to help me live again I am seeing that it didn't help anyone with perianal disease or fistulas's....
I am suppose to start Humira this week. I wanted to ask you if you think the Humira didn't work because you already took Remicaid first? I haven't been on anything to control my crohn's except for...
Beck, I am so happy to hear that you sound ok. I heard you can do it in your belly or leg but I think I might get it done in my belly too. Did the nurse suggest the belly? Did the nurse say how long...
Awwww Becktoria, I know how you are feeling. You wrote to me on my post titled "Please Read....Im so scared". Remember what you said to me? You are going to think positive...
Hi, Did you start the Humira yet? If so, how are you feeling? Do you have the pen injecstions or the syringe? Were the injections painful as I heard they were? Sorry for all the questions but as I...
