I had the NG for a week and a half but am suspecting it was the breathing tube during surgery that messed me up pretty bad....
I had minor abdominal surger to remove a scar tissue adheason on my intestine three weeks ago and was intubated as well as concious when the NG tube was forcefully inserted into my nose. I had a...
Guru? Nah, just good old youthful arrogance. 24 year olds are invincible you know....
Didnt see the result. Probably not terrible as they waited six months to tell me....
The flu vaccine doesn't protect against common cold. There are 72 known strands of it meaning there is no way to vaccinate for it. Flu is the same way... Too many strands. They only put the top three...
I was bummed since I'm super competitive and had a shot at playing professional ball but I just found other outlets. Finished college became a successful young adult in a tough economy and invested...
I was told by a doctor a few years ago that our disease doesn't kill us early. We are set to live a long, and miserable life. Some see that as an albatross, and I see it as a challenge. Chrons...
I've just been taking a generic multi. They suggested today supementing with about 4000 iu... which seems a bit excessive. Ill probably ask the pharmacist what he thinks. Hope it gets rid of my pins...
I assume being deficient in vitamin d as well as the other big ones is common after a resection in the small bowel? I've been gaining weight so I'm obsorbig something. Just irks me they tell me my...
That's about how I've been lately. Sit on one position for a few seconds too long and I start to go pins an needles....
We will see. I have an app with my general practitioner in three weeks to drive him to test me more. He some complicated bloodwork done and some referrals probably. Luckily he is a practicing GP at...
Couldn't tell you when it was last checked. Unless its a rider on the met panel then it's been awhile. I take a multi vitamin for iron and b12. So my D should come in with that. Though its entirely...
Alright. I'll be hones y definition of remission is no cramps or gut pain. I never had the warm up period most people h e I went straight into "Holy cow I'm dying stage." Let's pretend this is a...
For scoped last month and was clean. Three areas of very mild irritation, not enough to change y diet or meds. My last cbc, so days ago only came back abnormal for albumin but I'm accepting this as...
Those of you in remission do you still get random pain in random spots and the feeling like you didn't get enough sleep? I've been told to get checked for fibromyalgia by a few people and one doctor...
Well as a note back. When I went to get my lungs and chest checked to make sure I didn't have anything physically wrong before I saw the allergy doc and the doctor seemed to blow off all my symptoms...
I'm assuming off on their range. All U.S. labs have different standards for normal. I just thought it was odd they left a message specifically for that though its probably because they couldn't get...
I'm already being treated with klonopin. I'm going to urgent care tonight to get checked for a respiratory/sinus infection. I'll ask the doc there if I should e worried about bad albumin. I know it's...
I got ahold of my latest lab results and was told over the phone my Albumin was out of range. I'm a constant worrier and going to see a doc tonight about some chest pain, probably due to allergies...
I had a stricture and major scarring in my TI. I opted for surgery and it saved my life. I suffer from Malobsorbtion now as we'll as loose stools due to bile salts or some other consequence of...
Well that sounds exotic an about my luck. Feeling a bit better. Ache is in my shoulders today. I'm guessing allergies or a mild flu deal. Haven't heard from the doctors office so either he's being...
I did my cbc and metabolic yesterday. I'm assuming I'll hear today or tomorrow as they are pretty prompt. As I don't have any other symptoms I expect them to come back normal. If something were wrong...
I wasn't doing the woe is me I'm dying speech. I was simply fact finding but if ibd everyone's responses great and informative. We shall all live to our old age and die there of something probably...
Past two days my arms and legs have ached like crazy. Muscular anches. Woke up in the middle of the night to my left shin achin as well but that might have been how cold my room was. Gettig my...
I drink regularly on the weekend and was in a fraternity in college. Take imuran 50mg each morning and do just fine. I notice I get hung over really easily now compared before but that's probably due...
To be cometely fair. I believe after looking our life expectancy is one year fewer than average....
Out of curiosity, as when I breathe deep it burns a bit...I attribute to weather changes...the temps and hunky are fluctuating by 40-50 degrees at a time day right now, but back to the point what is...
Gotcha Lynn. Was looking at it from another angle. COPD. That's a bummer. Luckily it looks like Chrons is linked from COPD not the other way around. Looks like you got unlucky :(...
Me either. I got curious dyer seeing three threads on here mentioning blood clots, possibly a fourth as of this morning, all took either imuran or 6mp. So I did so some research, I have an MA in...
I'm not sure terminal is the right answer. More like chronic....
Six years I have had it stowed away in the closet but I cramped for the first time in six years today. I hope it has to to with me using a different fiber tablet than normal. I usually get the...
What's the deal with this? I take 50mg Imuran daily and was never warned about blood clots. Is it really that common or is it only associated with 6mp?...
I am glad you are in remission. It looks like, sadly, you were one of the 4/10000 who stand a chance of developing cancer in their course of taking azathioprine. Though, I thought the estimated risk...
I was worried about cancer for a bit but klonopin and nicecupoftea beat that out of me a month back. Reason I was interested was that odd study suggesting median death was 58 if diagnosed before 29....
Curious to see what the modern prognosis for CD is, if anyone has that info handy. I read in the 50s it was a 30-60% killer during major flares but only 3% today. Has anyone ever asked their GI what...
A lot of people have had one issue or another with it. I never had any side effects or issues to this day. Been on it going on 6 years now. Increases chance for lymphoma and melanoma slightly....
Had my six year scope a few months back and came back clean. No active disease or polyps. Just one internal skin tag. One GI thinks my trouble is no closing between bowels leading to absorption. Doc...
Is it something you can pick up at like Walgreens without script? I won't see my doc for another three months. How much does it run?...
We have not. I saw a post elsewhere about that substance as well as another OTC herbal deal. Began with a P I think. Fiber tabs and probiotics were working but then, well honestly, crapped out on...
Really frustrating to beat every symptom but the D two-three times a day. Probiotic paired with high fiber and fiber tablets slow me down but not enough. Disheartening to see what I just ate a few...
I currently take Imuran once a day, 50 mg and I weigh 160 lbs. I used to drink in college and drank the years past. I have slowed down but do go out to the bar once a week and have a beer or two. I...
Depending on the size and if you are a smoker the odds of it not being bad are in your favor. If you haven't lived in a smoking environment, are not a heavy smoker, and are under 50 I wouldn't worry...
I'm in remission too but my bowels move fast due to minor IBD. When I came off tabs and only did high fiber my gut responded wih the old "Everyone out! Out the back!" Im thinking I need to hit the...
I stopped taking fiber supplements in favor of a high fiber diet a few weeks back. Also added a pro biotic. Went from one solid bm a day to sever loose and or water a day, like I was the past five...
The cost isn't so much the issue as his attitude toward their use. He wants to experiment with them and if I flare I have to take prefabs imuran together which makes me miserable. Imuran by itself...
The GI who I am most comfortable with suggested I try to find a doctor in the city I live in so I dont have to make a six hour journey I case something goes wrong. I saw a new GI. Had a scope done....
Every Afternoon with lunch. Perhaps I should do every other day? I wasn't instructed....
I was doin quite well. Getting by with vitamin tab and fiber tabs at lunch. Switch to a probiotic and high fiber diet, ditch the fiber tabs and it all goes to hell. Guess I'll be buying more fiber...
I had a shave biopsy done yeayerday on a 4mm mole that the doctor didn't think was an issue. It is sent for Biopsy and I was told if I didn't hear back I was all clear. However. I looked at the wound...
Thanks. I do worry too much. Far too much. That is why I am on anxiety medicine to combat it...which I haven't taken today so in away, your scolding helped save some restless sleeping, haha. I am...
