None taken! Embarrassingly enough it's only recently that I even heard of the anti candida diet in regards to sinus issues. It would've never occurred to me that there was a connection. I was just...
Hello everyone, I'm looking for some advice about my chronic sinus pain! As long as I can remember I've had allergies. When I was kid they were just seasonal and easily managed with OTC allergy...
Hello, I've posted on here before and have always received helpful replies so I thought I'd give this question a shot! I was diagnosed with Crohn's 5 years ago and it has been a battle every step of...
I've been taking Flonase for several months now due to a horrible allergy season. Within the past few months I started getting ringing in my ears which won't stop, even with the use of antibiotics....
Hello, I've had chronic allergies for pretty much my entire life and I have them year round. Primarily I get sneezing, itchy/watery eyes, and a runny nose, but I also suffer from horrible sinus pain...
Hello everyone, So about a month and a half ago I had a small bowel resection (thanks Crohn's!) as well as removal of an abscess that had been giving me trouble for a while. I now have a temporary...
I'm not sure if either of the posters who responded to me will see this, but I just wanted to give a quick update and thank you both for telling me to call my doctor! Long story short, I did end up...
Thank you so much for your response! Yes, it crossed my mind that it could be an infection as well. I did end up calling him but unfortunately he wasn't in today so I'll most likely have to wait...
Thanks for your response! I was afraid of that being the answer lol. As you said, we get so used to feeling unwell that sometimes we just kind of accept it. I also feel like I'm "bothering" my doctor...
Hello everyone, I'm posting on here because I've gotten good responses in the past, which I very much appreciate! So I've been on Humira and Imuran for a little over six months now (I was on them...
@pb4 That's a good idea; I was getting blood work done weekly when I was on the steroids but now it's gone down to once every few months. I'm sure when I tell my gastro about the hair loss he'll want...
@Duffle Hmm, that's interesting, because my iron has been incredibly low too (my gastro started me on iron pills to try and get it back up, which he recommended I keep taking). Although it has...
Has anyone experienced hair loss while taking Humira? I just recently started taking Humira again about a month ago. Previously I was on it for a few months around late 2014/early 2015 (along with...
Thank you both for your replies! I agree that we tend to blame medicines and I think part of the reason I feel so frustrated is because none of the treatments I've tried so far have helped my...
I'm so sorry to hear what you've been through. I didn't realize until today all of the awful side effects these medicines can cause. I just recently got off of Prednisone which caused some...
Hi everyone, I found a lot of support and help when I first joined/posted on here a couple months ago so I thought I'd try again. I just got off my third treatment for my relatively newly-diagnosed...
Well I guess technically Pentasa IS covered by my insurance..but it's $125 for a 30 day supply : / So, not exactly feasible for a college student who works part time. My brother did have fistulas,...
@kazbern Yeah, that's definitely my goal, because I will never forget how miserable my brother was when he had to get his surgery. He waited much too long to go to the doctor and as a result, his...
Okay, so the doctor's office just called me back and said oops, you totally do have active Crohn's in your small bowel, our bad. : / So I guess that's my answer! Thanks everyone for your answers (=...
Thanks for your response @clonehead, it really reassured me. Now that I think about it, it's probably definitely just as you said; after all, if they already noticed Crohn's in a certain area of my...
My brother has Crohn's disease and over the summer had to have surgery for it. For months I had been having all of the same symptoms he had prior to getting diagnosed and they just kept getting...
