I have had crohn's since maybe middle school (wasn't diagnosed until this past year). and have definitely been affected by it. I graduated and everything, but I had like a 3.0 when I could have had a...

Well I am not a man, but I am on prozac. It's almost been a month now, and it is causing me difficulty/inability to achieve orgasm....

Hi. I had food allergy tests done. I am allergic to bananas, shellfish, onions, and kiwi. I also am anemic and take iron supplements for that. I have tons of other environmental and medication...

Well... I made it through nursing school, having a surgery every semester and still being on the Dean's list with a 3.9 GPA! I am graduating in one month! I have an RN job awaiting me in January on a...

haha. :-P...

Well, for me when I have them I either take an ativan or if I don't have that with me, I will make sure I have a water bottle. For some reason the water helps me. Obviously it is psychological. But...

Crohn's Colitis, IBS, GERD, PCOS, ITP (immuno thrombocytopenia purpura), kidney stones (but that's not a disease), lactose intolerant, gluten intolerance, Anxiety, Depression, weight gain from PCOS,...

Oh my god... its so freaky sometimes how stories can be so similar, especially on this board! I say that because with my last GF when i had my gall bladder out, she was there right after the surgery,...

yeah I have had skin and RAST tests with mixed results. We actually just learned about all of the hypersensitivities, antibodies, etc in school. (I'll have my RN in one month!) I just wanted to hear...

Hi everyone, I am usually in the Crohn's forum. But I have lots of allergies. The environmental ones that reacted during the skin test include grass, dust mites, mold, dog dander, cat dander, rodent,...

Potatoqwn: That sounds exactly like my last emergency surgery! I have had 4 emergency surgeries, 3 of which were ovarian cysts. One of them was exactly like yours. I had pain pain pain and finally...

I am a L. I guess you can't type the full word or it gets bleeped out... which seems a little messed up, but in any case... It's hard for other people to understand that sometimes we just feel like...

Thanks! I hope other people reply. Maybe the SEX in the title scared them?? lol. I see you are a wife of a crohnie!! Us crohnies appreciate the shout out and the support. :-)...

YAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!...

Yeah, you are smart! You never know how a person's body will react until its too late. Especially with all the other meds we put in our bodies every day! Well, I am speaking for myself and others who...

Well it sounds like you have thrombocytopenia (low platelets). It's secondary to other things usually... That can be caused by many different things. I have ITP (immune thrombocytopenia purpura)...

I have PCOS (poly cystic ovary syndrome) but not sure if it has any correlation to Crohn's. There are probably the same percentage of people in the non-crohn's population with it. But I am not sure....

Definitely sounds like crohn's to me. I have pretty much all of the same symptoms as you. The colonoscopy usually is a very good way of diagnosing. Right lower quadrant pain is more classic terminal...

You could cause yourself to go into acute renal failure if you drink while on those heavy duty meds. Don't do it. :-)...

Not thin here. I was normal weight my whole life though (female; about 130 and 5 foot 1) until about age 21 when I gained 80 lb in one year out of no where. This came as a shock to me since I have...

Congrats on going to nursing school. I graduate in december (RN)! I usually will just bring an ensure (or a generic ensure) or a protein bar for lunch... It's too risky otherwise, then I find myself...

ESR is estimated sedimentation rate, correct? This helps determine inflammation... BUt mine was near normal while I was in a severe flare (before remicade)also. I have moderate to severe crohn's and...

I thought narrow stools indicated narrowing of the bowel. This happens with inflammation and I believe when the intestine heals and scar tissue forms....

the chest tightness and SOB has happened to me all 3 times I have had remicade and they don't seem to bothered by that. They just stop it, infuse benedryl, and then restart at like 30ml/hr. My...

I would suggest a colonoscopy. I don't really know what else to suggest. It certainly sounds like you could have the crohn's that tends towards constipation. Hopefully someone with the constipation...
