I think that's the best advice that I've gotten in a really long time, Dave. Thank you so much! You are absolutely right, and after all that we go through, we can't let someone who isn't invested in...
Thank you so much for your response, Dave. I agree with everything that you said. It would make sense that my current Dr hasn't seen any disease activity because I'm on so much medication and maybe...
I was dx'd in 2006 by GI #2 (after GI #1 did a EGD/Colonoscopy and found gastroparesis but couldn't explain my 21 bms each day). First I had positive identification from the pill-cam suggesting early...
this. This isn't exactly in the vaginal region, so there's not much to go off of. Also, it's not like you can just take a little lookie-loo yourself. it. It's an embarrassing enough disease. I'm...
I don't know of any link between the two. I was 15 when I was diagnosed with endometriosis based on my symptoms of severe lower right quadrant pain. I was 23 when a CT scan showed uterine fibroids....
one of the more disgusting issues of our disease. I have Severe CD in both large and small intestines, Celiac's Disease, gastroparesis, and IBS. In September, surprise of all surprises, I found out...

I'm right there with you!! My tests came back negative, but I am having some intense pain in my lower back (sacrolitis) and knees. It feels like pockets of air in between the joints! I thought I...

I'm right there with you! My PCP gave me Medrol to see if that will help...otherwise, looks like I'll be on my honeymoon in Ireland in pain! Best, M....

That was similar to my last scope at the end of June. How could I possibly be dx'd with Crohn's from four different methods, but not have any sign of it now?!?!!?! But, remission is a tricky thing,...
In any event, he did let me stay on the the Remicade. :) Best, M. ...
I actually have Crohn's in my jujenum, terminal ileum, and ascending colon. I also have a severe case of IBS-D as well as gastroparesis (paralyed stomach)...sometimes there can be more than just one...
I'm sorry but I don't have an answer for you. Lomotil actually didn't work for me at all! I'm on Lotronex now. I would suspect that Lomotil is something that you can't take forever...but I'm just not...
She ordered the usual tests, but I noticed that I haven't had an ANA or Rhemotid Panal done prior to this. ...I thought that was a little strange since I've had CD for over a year and a half now,...

Congrats on your passion! My fiance (in two months, husband) is a new firefighter/EMT and has met another ff/EMT with Crohn's. I don't know if he has an ostomy or ileostomy, but I will ask for you!...
I have that as well, but I have been dx'd with gastroparesis. A gastric emptying scan (where you eat an egg sandwich that has a radioactive marker in it, and then take x-rays of your back and abdomen...
