Thanks LaSanne . . . . I would really like to know if I am the only Crohn's patient who has these terrible mouth sores, and the Colchicine is one of the "new" therapies for this . . .but (like many...
I would like to know if anyone is taking colchicine for the mouth sores that sometimes come with Crohn's? I have been prescribed this (it's mainly used for gout!!) . . . . I get terrible and constant...
Thanks Rango . . . . got a prescription for "Magic Mouthwash" from my doc....
Do any of you have terrible mouth sores associated with Crohn's? I am wondering what you do about them, do your doctors prescribe anything, or do you have to just live with them? Thanks for the...
Yes, I would love to hear of any success stories that you all have with alternative medicine . . . I am on Humira, 6MP and Lialda . . . . so I am not neglecting western medicine, but I am still not...
What does the homeopath do? I am really interested in combining western and eastern medicine to get me whole...
has anyone tried Reiki as an alternative medicine for Crohns? I just had a session that really impacted me . . . I could feel the heat and light over my abdomen . . . but the next day I had bad...
I had the same thing happen to me a few months ago . . . I called the Humira number and they sent me a new epi-pen. I had to send the old pen to them, as they sometimes have a faulty needle...
I've been on Humira for over two years . . . no terrible side effects...

Thanks Stripey, I have been so upset, I meant 6 MP, not MP3 (that's a recording format). I am so concerned that the interaction of the three immuno-suppressant drugs will be too much for me. But I...
Erwin, I am scared too, I am about to take 6MP and I am already on Humira and Lialda . . . I don't know what to expect!...
Is anyone on the forum taking all three of these? I have been taking Humira for over a year, Lialda (a form of asacol) for many years, and now, following a terrible colonoscopy, my Doc is adding MP3....
Thanks! I'll try it!...
Yes, but it's scary to have to find a new Doc after 12 years with one I love . . ....

This is good news for me, I will start Lialda next week after about 15 years on Asacol. I was worried about hair loss, but I think Asacol and Lialda are about the same for that . . . . I take 9...
Thanks Stray Dog . . . this is helpful....
Thanks Nanners, I'm a little leery too . . . I have had great success with the asacol and humira . . . . I hope someone might be able to shed light on any differences with Lialda...
