I take RSO, THC and CBD... I slipped for a while and stopped but have kicked back into taking it daily and I can tell you it helps me a lot. It slows my system right down and turns my usually liquid...
I have been taking RSO for quite some time and feel it is near impossible to get to the recommended dosage amount. If I had a month off I would be able to follow the plan but anything over 100mg and...
That was kind of what I knew... I was just wishing when I posted this. I even had a scheduled c-section cause I was terrified if I ripped I would never heal.. Was just looking for the sphincter fairy...
Ok so I am just looking for feedback on rectum issues.... As with many of you, the countless hours of sitting and straining have taken their toll on my rear.. I know they can do some sort of surgery...
Hey all. Looking for feedback... Had my 2nd resection about 23 months ago. Have been doing pretty good since. Went in wed for an MRI just to see where things stand. Yesterday afternoon, approx 24h...
What happened that we can now discuss the dreaded MJ plant on this board? I am beyond pleased!! We need to step outside the lines drawn by big pharma care and look into those herbal / natural...
We all have those worries. I am a single mother to a three year old and am terrified on a daily basis. If you believe us woman only have to work part time then you have not met this one.... My job...
Just wondering if anyone else has suffered days of pain after a colonoscopy? I had a bowel resection at the end of March and just had my follow-up colonoscopy. I awoke from the procedure in quite a...
I apparently have extremely low iron and am losing hair by the handfuls. I too just started iron therapy and hope with all of hope that it will solve the problem. I had a small bowel resection on...
I am losing my hair at an alarming rate right now. I never even considered the meds. I thought it was an after effect of surgery and severe iron deficiency. Thanks for the info on the shampoo. If I...
Prednisone is so very hard on your body. I cannot believe any doctor in their right mind would allow you to take it for that many years. Its absolutely obscene. Long term use can lead to the loss of...
My last surgery was in March of this year and the surgeon just had me guzzle a liter of apple juice. It did the same thing to me that the fleets did... I was well flushed!!...
March 28th of this year I had a small bowel resection to remove scar tissue that built up since my first resection in 97. Approx 3 inches of scar tissue was causing the issue but that being said...
For my resection a few weeks back all my dr had me do was guzzle 1 liter of apple juice. I thought he was out of his mind but within an hour I was in the bathroom and my bowels were flushing out. If...
I would take Imuran over Prednisone any day. The side effects of pred are 1000X worse (for me) than anything I have suffered from Imuran, which to date is nothing. I have been on it for a number of...
March 28th I had my 2nd small bowel resection. The first one was back in 97 and I do not recall all that much about my recovery etc.I am now struggling with the length of time my healing is taking...
I had a good 10 years before my first flare. Have had 2 small ones in the last 3 years but overall I am pretty stable. Watching the foods I eat and the amount of stress is my life is seriously...
I have about 5 feet removed in the TI area and without 3 immodium a day I would be like a faucet. Even with 3 immodium I still do not have properly formed stools, but it def helps. Tell her not to...
Moving from British Columbia to Alberta. I sure hope if I need the Remicade or Humera, that Alberta Health Care will help me out!!! I have been told the cost is insane....
I was at my pharmasist this morning picking up some pain meds and he was all over me about addiction and how much medication I take. Apparently he printed my history and 60 T3's a month is crazy in...
No I cannot see the bruising, I am just assuming giving the feeling......
Just need feedback and opinions.. My 18 month old, 27 lb son cannon balled onto my belly the other morning. Since then I have been in severe pain. Everything feels pretty swollen and bruised and I...
They will not take blood if you are on any meds (in Canada atleast) And Crohn's excluded me from donating......
I just had my first child in June and I am 37. I flared during my pregnancy and ended up in the hospital twice due to dehydration. Doctors put me on Entocort and from that point on I was fine. Smooth...
I have taken both and would have to say that hands down Entocort wins. I gained 70lbs in 3 months on pred. I also got arthritic joints when trying to taper off pred. Had rage and emotional issues on...
Hey all.... My son is 4 months and is only breastfed... I do not wish to wean him yet. However, my tummy is starting to bug and I am worried about the meds. I have been taking Pentasa for the last...
Thought this was interesting http://news.yahoo.com/s/hsn/20100504/hl_hsn/aspirinmayincreaseriskofcrohnsdisease ...
I was pretty much told to give up my hopes for being a mom... My hormones seriously effect my Crohn's and I lost a few pregnancies because my body got so out of whack and I got so terribly ill. That...
I am currently on Entocort and have had no adverse side effects. It did take a little but to kick in and start working though. Almost 3 weeks I think. Compared to pred, which was the alternative for...
I went off Imuran cause it crashed my immune system after I accidently double dosed... It was a blessing cause I ended up preggers like 8 months after I stopped it but.... I do think that is can def...
Bless you for being the good momma you are :o) But I wish to follow suit with the others and suggest you ask your son what he wants with regards to your being there. I know your intentions are good...
Still doing good, well as good as can be :o) Now that the Entocort has kicked in I am feeling way better. 23 weeks today and praying I stay on this path. So nice to feel baby kicking, not tummy...
The first 17 weeks or so of this pregnancy were bliss and then I nose dived.... Losing weight due to an inability to eat... Back on all the meds... Just praying they start doing their thing asap. I...
Just need some feedback from all you wise ones. As some of you who have been active on the board know, I have been in emerg 2 times over the last 3 weeks for pain meds, rehydration etc.... 21 weeks...
Ended up in emerg again yesterday. Sever pain and dehydration after 18 hours of vomiting and D... Needless to say I started the Entocort.. All docs incl OBGYN suggested it so it is what I am doing......
Anyone have any feedback on taking oxycodone during a flair? Tylenol 3 seems to be being laughed at by my pain and this is the only alternative I have in the house......
Last time I took some I almost ended up in the ER... The pain they caused trumped the pain I was fighting by about 1000. I would stay away from them totally....
I have only had to do a prep once but will say that the fleets was nasty gross gross stuff...... The only way I got it into me was by mixing it will frozen white grape juice concentrate. I thawed the...
The Imodium boxes in Canada bear the Canadian Crohn's and Colitis Foundation logo and states that Imodium is a proud sponsor of. If this were a detrimental thing to take with CD I doubt they would be...
It's not about not being on meds. I have no problem taking meds which I know are safe but the Entecort is scary. Skeletal defects in rabbits??!? Ya, I think I will pass. I have lived 37 years longing...
**Update** Went to pick my prescript ions up at the pharmacist today and when I asked for her to consult on the Entocort she went 3 shades of pale.... Said she would have to be on her death bed to...
Hey gang.... So I saw my gastro last Friday and he put me back on pentasa full time and also prescribed Entocort... I am scared!!! I have found nothing good or positive about pregnancy and Entocort...
YAY.... Got an appointment with my gastro specialist for next Friday. Very happy about that. Overall feeling 1000% better. Moved up from rice to chicken soup and onto white toast today and so far so...
Apparenlty no referral has been sent in to my gastro so I have to go back to my GP this weekend and make sure that gets done.... Was advised when I called the gastro yesterday that their waiting list...
The reason for no meds was that last year at about this time my immune system crashed out and I got desperately ill. Being that I was on Imuran and it is an immune suppressor I thought I should stop...
I am looking for input from anyone with anything to share. I am 18 weeks pregnant as of today and up until last week things were going superbly. However, last Friday we had a company BBQ lunch and I...
I am trying to find a copy of a poem I once read, I believe it was titled I AM CROHN'S.... Anyone know what I am talking about ? If so, have you a copy? Can you post it?...
My teeth are a mess. I have begged them to pull them but my $$ motivated dentist figured it was best to crown every tooth possible.. The meds do nothing good for the teeth... And the physical effects...
Thanks for the info.... Interesting that it has a cd link of sorts. The wonky gene runs in the family I guess. I thought of Remicade and told her to query her doc about it so maybe that could help. I...
Hello folks. I am a member from The Crohn's board. That's my bane.. But the reason I am here is my cousin. She is my neighbor and is going through something I hope someone here can help me get my...
