If you have a good IV nurse ... great. But, don't hesitate to switch clinics or request a change in IV nurses if you get several bad sticks, black-and-blue marks, etc. There is a huge range of skills...
My problems have involved all other parts of the legs and feet (not toes per se) especially ankles, calves, and tops of the feet. After reading the posts (thanks), I now think that whether it's...
Thanks much....
Any Crohn's folks had severe trouble with swelling of the feet and legs? I have had minor, transient trouble with this over the years which I associated with aging and heredity (my Dad had swollen...
Thanks ... I was resuming doing some Yoga style stretching for my back (prescribed by a PT I had seen from Dr. referral) and became quite ill for over a week. I had also over-endulged at the X'mas...
Many years ago I think I saw something published about Crohn's symptoms being made worse by strenous exercise -- even healthy workouts. Does anyone know anything on this? Any personal reports. (This...
I often have muscle and joint pain, but my docs and research suggest these may also be from the Crohn's itself (or related immune system issues). Also, since you have recently stopped the pred., you...

Fatigue. Absolutely, like many, I don't sleep well. Also trips to restroom can wear a person out....
I think the Asacol and the Asulfadine dissolve in different parts of the gut, and while the are both ASA's, they do not share all ingredients. Thanks to all....

Thanks to all. I'm using my home town Gasteroenterologist since the Mayo team had no new insights on the Crohn's part of my situation ... mainly (as does my home Doc.) they needed to know what's...
/community/emoticons/confused.gif I am being followed both locally and at the Mayo Clinic for lung infiltrates seen on CT scans. The scans are ambiguous, with even some improvement seen between...
Does anyone know of any information (either anecdotal or research)about taking half doses of BOTH Asacol and Azulfidine (i.e., 3 tabs Asacol in AM and 2 tabs Azulfidine in PM each day)? I seem to get...
