Thanks Peggy!...
Hi guys, as it says in my signature, I have Bipolar and Chron's. I have to give a 30 min presentation in my Ecological Methodology class in an hour and a half. Naturally, with my medical problems, I...
HAHAHAHAHA Good one! :smile:...
I'm sorry you are having such a hard time. As for how I handle it, well, I'm not really the person to offer good advice, lol. But I can tell you that most of us here have gone through or are...
Hi, sorry you are having such a rough time! I started Humira after not responding to Pred and 6MP. I haven't noticed any positive effects yet, but it's only been three and a half weeks. Some people...
Adhesions- I never thought about that! Can they detect those on a test? I know once you get them, you might as well keep them because they will more than likely come back. Its ironic, but I would...
I've been having extremely bad upper right abdominal pain since mid May. After months of various treatments and tests, the doc finally decided I had a nonfunctioning gallbladder. I had the HIDA scan...
I take 12/day. The only side effect I've noticed is increased hair loss in the drain. :-) I've been on this dose for almost a year. Good luck to you, I hope it works!...
I started Humira a week and a half ago. I went from having D several times a day for years, to being constipated today. Hoping it will even itself out, lol. I use the pens and did all four shots in...
I saw it in San Francisco a few years ago. Even though I'm a biologist, it still made me queasy seeing actual dead humans. I thought it was amazing though, and I stayed for over two hours. I thought...
Yes, absolutely. Is it where it almost feels like its your bottom ribs that hurt? Thats how I feel. My idiot doc said there was nothing on my CT scan in that region so it couldn't be the CD that was...
Hi all, Just got back from the docs. Did all four shots myself. It wasn't that bad, but it did burn like hellfire for a few seconds. I'm over it now though. I feel kind of woozy but I think its due...
and I'm super nervous. It seems like everyone that works at my doc's office is about as sharp as a bowling ball. Yesterday I asked the receptionist what I should bring to my appointment and she said,...
Ooooh! I'm so happy for you!!! Congrats! :cool:...
Ditto the hug! I wish you well. :-)...
Lauren, I have Blue Cross and I'm going through the exact same thing right now. According to the GI, Blue Cross approved me, but for some reason my pharmacy can't seem to get that information. So...
I drink the V8 fusion. It has fruit in it as well. Tasted terrible at first, but once I got used to it, it wasn't that bad. :cool:...
I was on Entocort 9mgs for five weeks. I had horrible headaches every day and it did nothing to help my CD symptoms. Actually, I went to the bathroom more often. It was awful. :mad:...
Hi Prof, I assume you are talking about Neurontin aka Gabapentin. I've been taking 1200mg a day for almost four years and have never noticed this side effect. But of course, everyone is different....
My knees are killing me. I went to an orthopedic surgeon and had a bunch of tests done and they told me that I was probably pre-arthritic and they said I had cysts in the back of my knees. I know...
Hi Vicky, I weigh 110 lbs and I'm taking 75mgs. However, the side effects are so bad my doc sent me in for tests due to suspected bone marrow suppression. Even though my blood values came out okay,...
Hooray College!!! :cool:...
So far, all tests are normal.. however, I haven't had a blood test since the dose increase. I called the doc's office this morning to inquire about the side effects and they said they'd call me back...
My doc raised my dosage of 6mp from 50mg to 75mg two weeks ago. Since then I have felt nauseated, had extreme fatigue, loss of appetite, headaches, and abdominal pain. I've been running a low grade...
Hi Sukay, thanks for the reply. I pretty much relapsed into a nervous breakdown on Tuesday and had to rush in to see my psychiatrist who put me on Ativan and Abilify. I'm still in a manic state, and...
Hey guys, I've been posting on the Chron's disease board, but I've been having a unique problem that others cannot really grasp if they don't have BP. My doctor put me on prednisone and I think it's...
