tsitodawg, I dont have private health insurance, which is really why I don't really get denied anything. Which is another problem actually with medicare and medicaid. The only thing Ive been denied...
I saw that wiki you looked at also and I just have to say thats its even titled narcotic dependence, and we should all know dependence is not that same as addiction or tolerance....
I agree, I found that ironically when I was not diagnosed and was not taking regular pain medication that the ER was more then happy to keep giving me medication, but now that I have a firm...
I dont know about the dry eyes, I have watery eyes I dont know if it has to do with my medications though. Have you thought of switching to prednisone to see if it helps? I mean look at it this way,...
how come you can eat salads? we're usually told to stay away from rufiage or however you spell it?...
If you have one auto-immune disease, then your much more likely to get another auto-immune disease, I don't remember the percentage but for some reason I want to say 50% more likely to get another, I...

I hope all turns out well for you today and that you get your scripts. There was no sense in you have to wait like that when it would have taken the doctor probably less then 5 minutes to call in...

maybe it was castor oil they gave me for a 'home remedy' I was speaking of, I thought it was crisco oil but i thought that sounded weird so maybe my mom used the same methods! I knew crohns culd be...
I'm really glad that 'nothing' happened to you then! I hope nothing continues to happen for you! lol...
Why does the methotrexate scare you more then the remicade? and why does remicade scare you at all? I feel people read side effects that rarely happen and the common ones that happen mostly go away...
CrohnsSince 95..... I just wanted to add to this thread that I know that when it comes to urine screens they can be thrown off by a multitude of things. I have had one urine screen come back saying I...

For me meats seem to be the best on my stomach also. You would think the toughness of having to digest it would make that meat would be out completely, but for me hamburger, chicken, steak things...
