""""Doctors diagnosed his ailment as intussusception, an intestinal condition found mostly in young children and which Bice may have had since he was born. The doctors hope this latest surgery will...
i think i understand, as i ended up with my problem being my entire focus and forgot there was a world beyond the door, so to speak. it just took so much to deal and cope, everything faded in the...
pb4, i want to thank you for this thread. i am having issues totally unrelated to my H's crohns, but your thread reminded me of how i can cope, and to look for every possible way to do it. now i just...
aw im so glad this helped! i hope for good news from the dr, let me know? talking to you helped me too..:) hang in there....
i sure understand the idea it helps to know what caused something. if not, we just worry even worse. i know i wont try anything with aspirin in it to see! im not sure i understand salicylate...
if indeed this is somehow allergy related, keep benadryl with you and maybe a epi pen for the peace of mind. the fear? i practice all the time, sometimes i win, sometimes the fear wins. calming...
all my lip did was be numb.. and huge..lol. i didnt relate it either as did the dr or pharmacist...until once i took the benadryl and the lip went down but in a hour i was completely hoarse. scared...
does benadryl cause it to go down? if so, its a allergic reaction and doesnt have to be to a new med or food. asacol is kin to aspirin and since im allergic to aspirin, i get the same thing, swollen...
imho* it almost sounds like it is twisting and then causing a blockage. esp as to how it resolves and comes back. might be something to ask? a colonoscopy wont show the twist unless it happening...
my granddaughter had this, and she had to have a colonoscopy and biopsies to dx why. they can check for nerves, cells of any kind, (hers was milk protein allergy) and advise appropriate measures to...
unfortunately, the vaccine will not work against all strains of HPV, nor will it prevent all cervical cancers. its just a "help", if you will. that said, one can have abnormal pap results without...
and true milk protein allergy. it can (and has with my granddaughter) paralized her colon. to a point of malnutrition. however, it can be caught with a simple blood test. not the colonoscopy we were...
stkitt, why is that? they (any med pros--dr- nurse etc)hate it when i ask to see the results. i tended to my granma, mom and my dad and became quite proficient as a nurse and able to read many tests...
i so wish you luck with this. probably the hardest thing is the time it takes to actually dx crohns vs uc. my H's GI dxed UC as his wasnt in his small intestine at all. the biopsies did not indicate...
my H also has myasthenia gravis as well as crohns....
i so appreciate you all sharing the stories about your bleeding to help others. i still wonder about where my H bleeding will go eventually and i think i have a answer from others threads. he will...
i have to thank you. for one, the best laugh i have had in weeks! for 2, someone else like me who finds humor in almost anything. i would love your mom. i love your type style and how you told this...
im not sure most have a clue. my H's dr gives him keflex when his joints swell. now any crohnnie knows what keflex will do. almost any antib will do it and we have to choose accordingly to the...
my granddaughter was a year old when she had hers. she was on a restricted diet before it (several days) and then we used miralax. all in all, what i found so sad was after it she hoarded food...
cipro is very bad for forming kidney stones,also. i have had several even without having crohns and the pain is unreal...15 on a 1-10 scale. worse than birth. you have my thoughts and prayers....
((mary)) ty for being so kind. i would be under the common sense idea also, however, some of the world just doesnt think that way. why pay a collector to harass for money when we have not close to...
ok, ty:)...
ty for the replies! yes, we had 2 social workers or financial advisors or whoever they were. she applied for indigent help, but one must be homeless to qualify for that. i have heard others say they...
just have a question for ya....you said this in another thread... """"plus, you can a) negotiate a lower price (hospitals would rather some money than no money) AND b) get set up on a payment...
i really send good vibes for you to feel better soon. entocort and pred are both steroids but work in very different ways on the body and places. obviously he is bringing out the big guns fully...
oh, i so hope it catches on. the way it is now makes no sense. we had that experience once, where a woman (we could see her hand with red nails, never forgot it) was obviously dead or dying. (was on...
i read the link with interest. it is my dream someday that a ER wont be just a beginning point but the first step in good care for seriously ill patients. i envision a triage set up, with one set of...
i find all the replies really interesting to this question. i wanted to add my experience to this thread. my H is the crohnie, and a alcoholic. 2 drs have refused to treat him until he stops...
ty kindly for the link and info....
sorry, another question. is there a certain number on the added risk of colon cancer in crohns patients? or is it like fistulas and strictures--some are more at risk than others? my H (who has the...
we all know drs are human and make mistakes. the problem arises because , as one ped dr told us, "if it isnt on the chart, it didnt happen". what? we could have gotten the numerous ER reports (we...
raw milk can be very dangerous...please be careful using it. some wild fish also can be contaminated....
i really send you good thoughts and prayers on this. i would run so fast to a new dr the old one would taste my dust. who does he think he is? you are entitled to a copy of all your tests, and if you...
thanks randy, i will go look at it. :) its my husband who has crohns, just so everyone knows. i like your explanation...thanks:) jen, hi. the cone shaped are in his stomach, or were when his endo was...
i dont think i quite understand this, so if someone could give me a idea of what causes the bleeding in crohns? (this may sound dumb ...) i know the ulcers. do they bleed because they are ulcers or ,...
((gail)) good point. thanks. if that is what he needs to wake up, well, so be it. i have to trust God on this and be grateful i have this place when it all becomes overwhelming to me. :) what will...
you seem like such a kind person, miracles. so many here do. we or i have to watch not invading my H's space. not crossing what isnt my business into what should be his. its a fine line.... the last...
((miracles)) a hug and all good wishes and prayers your way:) i so wish you the best in all this. you have so much courage....
thank you so much. i know there are no answers, and no way to get him to listen or care about himself. the hugs and ears you all gave were what i needed and i thank you for it and the kind words you...
hugs to you also, becoming undone! ty! this would be a very personal choice for you and your spouse or significant other. i could only give my view on what i want or need. what im frustrated about ,...
thanks ((guys)) and ((gals)) yes, he is a alcoholic and yes, im a al anon. i asked him today, talked to him with our daughter (she is 30), he just said he didnt feel bad and dropped it. i said why...
thank yall for caring and really just listening. i just need to get it out sometimes, i get so frustrated and i dont understand him. i guess i get scared for him and for me, if i can cope with this...
just need to vent... cleaned blood off the toilet again, (my husband has crohns and is the one who wont comply with any drs.....or take his meds halfway right) it is just so hard to handle somedays,...
altho i dont have crohns, my husband does and i feel i live with it also. so i wanted to add my view and experience to your question. it seems to be completely individual. i have asked this question...
my husband is the one with crohns and he is half japanese and half white. im not sure how that qualifies.....he is adopted so we dont have any of his medical history or his biological family's either....
indeed a radiologist is a MD. however, speaking for here, texas, they dare not tell ya what the results are. we never even see one. they read them, send the report to the dr who requested the test,...
dont know about where you are, but in texas its very illegal for anyone other than your dr to tell you test results. this person could and would lose his job here. his job, a radiologist (not a tech)...
my husband was misdiagnosed as UC until they found it in his stomach and did the prometheus test.... really didnt make any diff for him tho....he wont do a thing to help himself. his stomach pictures...
its very difficult to know how much is lost...i understand that. his one and only colonoscopy showed crohns (altho they first dxed him with UC) in his large bowel. no hemmies. the ulcers were...
yeah, its me with another question. :) my husband with crohns, the one who wont take his meds or quit drinking, has been bleeding with his BMs again. i only know because he will forget and i can find...
