When I was a kid my pediatrician's name was Dr. Longnecker. I always liked going to see him because I thought it was so funny and it made me think of a giraffe....

Unbelievable! Sounds like you did eventually learn though. We'd been living together for 3 years when I had my surgery. She did come to see me after she drank her beer but only stayed a few minutes....
Hi. I'm an L too. (That just sounds too funny! /community/emoticons/smile.gif ) Howdy to my clan out there! I have CD and have a very supportive girlfriend because she coincidently has UC. In the...
I had the same problem. It's very, very common. My doctor had me take Benadryl before bed and it helped quite a bit. Hope you can get off it soon....
No problem. I have exactly the same problem on my web site....
Got it. Thanks!...
Hi everyone. I received an email telling me that there was a new post this morning from arvmike10 to my "What's wrong with me" post, but when I go look at it there is no new reply. Has this happened...
You guys make me feel so normal!!...
Hi Linda, Yes, I had my gall bladder taken out 4 years ago because I was having very frequent, severe attacks. The surgeon said I had one giant gallstone. I read somewhere after I was diagnosed with...
Thanks, Curley. I think the hardest part right now is just not knowing what it is. It was frustrating for years trying to get my gut diagnosed. At least now I have a course of action I can take with...
Wow, paramedman, you sound like me! I'll be looking forward to your results. Hang in there!...
Thanks for your responses. My dr. appt. is this coming Tuesday. At first they said the earliest opening was Nov. 28th!! but I pleaded and got in on a cancellation. Good thing because the saga...
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with Crohn's this past January after many years of suffering the symptoms. I went on Prednisone for 5 1/2 months, was completely weaned off by about mid July. I'd never...
It's so great to connect with other people who understand what my life is like!...
I was on a jury once and my stomach was going crazy the whole time the attorneys were giving their opening statements. It was so loud that everyone in the courtroom could hear it. All I could do was...
I went undiagnosed and was miserable for years before they finally found Crohn's last January. By that time I was so sick I was waking up 3 or 4 nights a week in excrutiating pain. I live alone and I...
My pain feels like bone pain -- not muscle, but not stiff, swollen joints either. I have pain in my thumbs, wrists, elbows, right hip, back of thighs, knees, balls of the feet and toes. My p.c.p....
Thanks everyone for your comments. I see the doctor again tomorrow for the joint pain. Hopefully something good will come of it!...
I would definitely call your doctor tomorrow. There's no use in putting yourself through any more misery than necessary. I'm learning to be a lot more assertive! For my doctor it's life as usual, but...
Hobbling around like someone's grandma is exactly right. When I told the doctor I all of a sudden feel old, he asked me what old feels like. I told him that when I drive across town and get out of my...
Hi everyone. This is my first post to this forum. I’m a 48 year old woman who was diagnosed with Crohn’s last January after years of being told I had IBS and basically to just deal with it. Within 5...
