When I googled it, I thought the same thing, but I don't have one of those mother rashes like they mentioned. It's really not bothersome so I thought of just leaving it. Thanks for your help!...
Hi all, After I was in the hospital this past February for a horrendous flare-up, i was put on Prednisone and Remicade. Since then, I tapered down from 50mg of Pred and just finally came off of it....
Too funny... I just finished reading it when Crohn's was mentioned on Modern Family... Episode is called "Sleeper." Aired 4/30/14. Didn't say much, just claims that having Crohn's would help a...
I'm really curious about this! Did they compare you with others with Crohns?...
Also, I forgot to mention there's tons of blood in my stool but sample said nothing was wrong, and blood and pain in urine. :-(...
Hi all, It's been a while since I've posted thankfully because I was feeling better. Unfortunately, now, I've hit the worst I've ever been, which may not be so bad in comparison to some of you, but...

Anyone have any advice/experiences to share about azasan? Doc just prescribed as maintenance. Curious to anyone's input. Thanks!...
Hi Kix, I am also 23 and, although not for as long as you have, know what it's like to be down about this. It's really frightening. I'm a teacher, and don't have the availability to run to the...

Thanks! I definitely feel better about the infusions now! We'll see how entocort goes! Be well!...
Thanks Gumby! Going to email my doctor today about starting the iron infusions. Hoping i'm not allergic either!...
Big Betty, thanks for the advice. He said he just wants to use it to kick me into remission, then run more tests. He said he didn't want to start any maintenance yet because my disease is only in the...

Thank you all for the advice. I took cvs brand Tylenol arthritis (all Tylenol is recalled right now FYI) and its worked wonders on my body aches. Essentially pain free. Continue to be worried about...
