Have already prayed, hope all is well with you and your family. I'm in Northern Cali. My father in law is in San Diego. So far he is ok....
I think we all should tell our docs about this forum, maybe they could gain some insight into the lives of their patients....
I'm with you Tess. I'm a country girl too. I wouldn't even go into the city for something like that! You are brave or dedicated. I live where there are mostly almond trees, cows and horses. Early...
Thanks for that. I'll let my Mom know. She swears by bleach and has been dubbed the name "the bleach lady". I always thought I was doing good with the antbacterial soap. I'll have to rethink it. And...
My husband had an MSRA infection. We thought it was just a boil at first. It spread 2in wide and 2 1/2 to 3in deep. We don't know where he picked it up but I had been in the hospital right before...
Hi All, Went ER. The CT scan didn't show anything but they kept me for pain, vomitting and diarrhea. My docs are gone until today. No GI close by, we live in a rural county so there aren't many GI's...
I hope not. I am going to start Remicade soon. I'm already overweight. Oh I hope not!...
I looked on the web on you can get one for about $30.00. I'm gonna do it. I just didn't know if I was being over-reactive....
I understand! Don't worry about it if you must use it. I had an "accident" in the ER. A nurse had to come clean me up. That's embarassing. But she was real nice and was more empathetic than anything....
Does anyone have a medic alert braclet? I read in the entocort pkg that I should get one? I think about it sometimes, like if I was in an accident or something. Just wanted to see what others...
Ahhh, good idea. Thank you. My husband made a big batch of chicken noodle soup last night. That's what I will do. Thanks Judy, I really appreciate the advice....
There was no GI on duty or even one in the county! I live in a rural area and my GI is the only GI at the hospital I go to. They are all at some conference. The fluids did help. I was low in...
I am so glad you mentioned this. My GI always asks me if there has been any weight loss. As if I have to have weight loss to have CD?! I thought maybe it was me being histrionic. Anyway, I think...
Hi All, Well I spent Tuesday night in the hospital. CT scan didn't show anything but they kept me bc of pain, vomitting and diarrehea. They put me and diluadid. It helps but makes me very loopy. I'm...
Thanks Gail. Right now I am on almost dbl vicodin. I am going to go into ER in the am after my son goes to school. Both my GI's are out of state at a conference. My family is supportive and helping...
That sucks, I don't have any advice really. Just wanted you to know you have a fellow crohnie that knows how you feel. I'm new to the forum as well. I'm sure some of the others can help you out a...
I am in so much pain. Vicodin isn't working. I have narrowing but not sure if it's scarring or inflammation. I have pressure and noises like something is filling up inside. My back is killing me too....
Amen Matthew! Song- sorry to hear you having a terrible time. We all can relate. You got some good advice. Now try to relax as much as possible. I've been learning that these things don't get...
thanks everyone. I'm trying to get ahold of my GI. He's out of the state. I had a really bad night. Vicodin isn't working anymore. I'm trying to avoid the ER. I think I might have a fistula or...
Oh yes, me too. Lots of noises from my belly. Of course it's usually in the middle of a lecture at school! lol...
Wow, you guys are great. My GI doc always gives me "the look" when I ask for pain medication. He only gives me Vicodon 5/50. Lately it doesn't work. I have pain when walking and driving over bumps...
Thanks Guys, reading the posts have been very informative too. It's good to have people to talk to. My 9 year old son tells me often that when he grows up he is going to find a cure for CD. He asks...
Yahoo! Good for you. I am so glad you are feeling better. That's so good. Congrats!...
yes, I get the sweats during the day too. I had a hesterectomy so I know it's partly due to hormones but I has them before the surgery. It seems they are worse when I have a flare up. Has anyone...
I was DX with IBS first too. They finally did exploratory laproscopic surgery and seen the inflammation. Then a blood test later the DX was firm....
Hello Everyone, I am new to this chat room stuff. I was diagnosed about 1 1/2 years ago. I posted all the details earlier but did it as a reply to someone. It was lengthy and whinny. I've just felt...
Sorry, I just figured that out. Thanks....
Hello Everyone, I've never been apart of a chat room like this before. However, I think I need this one. I stopped working 2 years ago but had digestive problems for 3 years before that. 1 1/2 yrs...
