I have been on Humira since June 1st. I take the shot every two wks. I have been having swelling of my feet, legs, face - pretty much all over. Shortness of breath. Called my GI dr. and she said it...
Thanks for your input. I finally have a dr. appt today at 3:00. I also made an appt. to see a GI at Emory University in Atlanta. I believe this practice in my town is just too busy. I plan to give my...
I hope your appointment goes okay. I understand your frustration. My sister has IBS and she said to me, "Now you know what I go through." Another time she said, "You might as well get use to it....
Okay! I'm back. I need help from you all b/c my GI is unreachable! Last Thurs., I woke up at 1:30 a.m. w/severe abdominal cramps. Thought I was going to pass out and throw up at the same time. Call...
Hey guys. I have a question. I went for my six week ck-up after being diagnosed with Crohn's on Friday. At first, my GI said he wanted me to schedule a barium x-ray when I came back in. Well, he now...

Fruitcake - You have definitely been through so much more than me. However, I can understand your frustration. I went to the doctor in 2005 b/c I had blood and mucus in my stool. They performed a...
I go back Nov. 9 for more testing. I plan to ask then, so I'll be sure to post about what I was told. When I go back, I have to drink barium and they are going to take a "picture". I am not sure what...
Thank you for you post. What is an "upper" flare? I have experienced terrible reflux, but I have also been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia....
I am hoping someone can give me input on this. I was just diagnosed with Crohn's on 10/9/07. Originally, dr. thought it was UC. Biopsy and diagnostics proved otherwise. Currently, I'm taking...
Strange you should bring this up. I was just diagnosed with Crohn's on 10/9/07. I am 37 years old. I suffered from night sweats about 2 weeks before I had the flare-up that required me to go to the...
