You will hear all sorts of experiences here but I did it for about 8 weeks and I had a little extra acne on my face, but otherwise I was perfectly fine. It seemed to help me and now I'm off of it....
That's interesting about the Entocort. I was diagnosed in Jan, and was on it for 6 weeks. The Dr had me stop and gave me some options which included Pentasa. As I don't have any symptoms right now, I...
Just wanted to say hi! I was just diagnosed last month too. Fissures are the WORST. They make me cry, they hurt so bad. Luckily they only bother me really bad about once a month, or less if I am...
My thoughts are with you! Stay strong....
Can the biopsy confirm Crohn's? I kept asking the nurse and she 'couldn't say - I had to speak with the Dr' and then the Dr couldn't come to the phone and just wanted to see me in 4 weeks. I'm seeing...
The nurse called me today, my colonoscopy was on the 5th where the Dr said there was much inflammation and scarring especially by the ilium. She basically said "it sounds like you have Crohn's" so I...
I started on Friday and I haven't noticed a thing... I was just diagnosed and I don't have any symptoms right now so... I have no idea what it's doing. :)...
What is the site where you found ratings by Dr? I think my Dr is educated but he has no bedside manner and if he wouldn't have fluffed off my concerned two years ago about it being IBS and me being...
You can do it MTK. I can't imagine the pain you are going through but try to think how wonderful it will be if the leak will be healed in three months!...
You have permission to feel crappy about this whole thing but we have no control what we pass along. Now at least your Mom can get some help to feel better and know what this is. I was just diagnosed...
Hi Walrus, I don't have any advice to give you as I just was diagnosed and am starting Entocort 9m today. I just wanted to say hi and hope that you can solve your problem. Waking up to poop is...
Daunting, try not to read too much into the bad cases. Every case is completely different. You should definitely get on some depression medication for a few months and see how you do. It's really...
Hello Daunting! I just was diagnosed as well and the constant bloody D and cramping feelings are terrible. You are on the right path by seeing specialists and people who can help you. If some of the...
I have no idea but I've seen a few posts on here with people talking about constipation so I think that might be one of the problems as well? If you have constipation, you could get an obstruction,...
Oh no! I hate it when companies do that. I have been on VSL#3 for the past 3 months and I like it....
Oh man :( Hope the sun will come out soon. I can't imagine all that shoveling and snow....
Just wanted to say hi. I'm new as well, just diagnosed....
Oh man, it's freaking me out! i start on Ento tomorrow... I kind of want to pluck out peoples eyeballs and stomp on em though, that sounds entertaining! :) Seriously, that's suck, I hope you can find...
@Kaz - How good I USED to feel? Wow, I don't even remember that anymore! It sounds like you have had a lot of progress since getting diagnosed, that is great to see. @NCOT - That's good info to know....
I'm starting Entocort today. I really appreciate all these comments!...
Well. Just diagnosed last night and I've been haunting Dr Google and found this community. So hello! :) And help? Quick recap: 2005 - developed fissure 2007 - pregnant with my 2nd child, became (what...
