I have never had high blood sugar to my knowledge. I don't think they regularly check though, but I had good results for both my kids on the fasting glucose tests. As for recently, I had eggs for...
Oh, I should probably mention, the medication I was on has no adverse effects listed that would explain any of my symptoms....
Hi all, I'm a sufferer of chronic illness and have a autoimmune disease. To me, it seems like I have all of them sometimes and they switch off, sometimes I'll have bad arthritis and then it goes away...
I probably should have let you know too, abscesses are not really horrible deals for me for some reason... I've had probably thousands of them in the last 20 years. When they did my resection they...
Hey guys! I have a history of partial obstructions and had one this past weekend...since it's my like 6th one, and I just go to the hospital to be "observed" until they let me go, I decided to go the...
So, I feel really stupid now, because I have tried to be in denial about CD for so long that I have not been able to establish a long term GI, or other doc for that matter; and since I was diagnosed...
Amen beachlife! /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...
Supernurse.... I"m sure this is WAY too late of a reply, but depending on your health insurance you can get a free 7 day starter dose at the pharmacy until things are straightened out with your doc....
Sorry if this has been covered in the past, I didn't have the patience to read through all the posts.... Anyway, been taking Humira for... oh about 4 months or so and the last injection I had went...
I just wanted to say about work, try not to take people's comments to heart. They are trying to support you in the only way they know how and they may feel as uncomfortable saying it to you as you...
Anyone have any ideas of why I have intermittent pain in the tips of my digits?? it started in my toes and I thought about gout (that's what my PCP Dx when I had a similar pain at 17, along with...
I have a strange form of CD... not so much with the D, more with abscesses and pain. I have already had a bowel resection at 17 when they found about 10 active abscesses and many more scars from ones...
Tired... I hear the suffering you are going through day in and day out. You shouldn't have to do it alone!! I'm glad you've found us! Have you told your family your feelings on this? You may need to...
From my four year old: What do you get when you cross an elephant and a fish? Swimming Trunks What did the lightbulb say when it was turned off? I'm DElighted! What did Winnie the Pooh say to his...
I had those bumps!!! When I first was Dx with CD and was in the hospital for what seemed like forever,I kept getting tons and tons of ingrown hair thingies! I too just kept scratching them and...
I have an appointment to see the OB on Wednesday, I just had the last episode on Friday, and now having thoughts about bearing a sick child... seems more pressing than waiting a few more days. I...
I think my first sign came when I was about 11 too. I got a big skin tab on my rectum. Didn't really think anthing of it and it was nothing I was about to talk to anyone about. I developed a mass on...
I'm freakin out a little. I'm about 7 months pregnant and my CD is doing relatively well. I do have about a 4 in narrowing at the resection site and had a partial obstruction at about 3-4 months...
Have safe sex and take your anti-virals is the only advice I can think of. This would apply even if he didn't have a suppressed immune system. I hope that he already knows about the herpes, so you...
Not safe!...
We're any of you that had a partial resection smart enough to ask your GI about how you were put back together? For some reason after 15 years, it's really perplexing me. I now have CD again at the...
Well, in case anyone reads this in the future, I would like to add a couple of cents... I was on here looking up tips myself because I am currently prepping for my own lovely procedure. I think next...
Okay, okay....so scientifically, the odds are against me; and knowing that I'm at least doing what is in my control to try to avoid something potentially awful, does make a lot more sense than to...
The only test I've had right now was a full blood panel that showed I had a high sed rate = inflamation. My last colonoscopy was in 2007 and showed active disease, but a pretty healthy gut otherwise,...
Anyone out there go for a long time with no meds and had disasterous results? I have a strange version of CD. I had a REALLY bad flare in 1994; blockage, 2 ruptured abscesses, then eventual resection...
I'm sure no one will see this message related to one at the very beginning of this post, but there was a post about how some lives near a waste dump and the incidence of CD is high in the area. Let...
Hello all- I just had a C-scopy that confirmed I have active disease. I had a baby about a yr ago and am still breastfeeding her. My GI wants me to wait until I wean her to put me on Pentasa....
