I've been having some weird symptoms of late. Dizziness, humming, buzzing and nerve symptoms. I am going in for an MRI, but it seems like these symptoms are always worse after I eat. Does anyone else...
Am in the midst of a possible MS diagnosis - classic symptoms that have come and gone for 4 years and my grandfather had it. Symptoms MUCH worse as the summer is starting. The heat outside and hot...
Newly diagnosed with hyperthyroidism - last week. The first time I can get in to see an endocrinologist is 3+ weeks away. Symptoms include trouble breathing, trouble sleeping, frog in throat,...
I do have a vague feeling that the left arm tingling could be related to my neck problems. This was always the arm I had pain/numbness in and still do when I overwork my neck (I.e., sit at my...
I did have a bone density test done last year at the suggestion of my GI doc so thankfully I know that's not it. The pain did subside after a couple days so I will chalk it up to a flare issue....
Oh, forgot to mention, turns out this was the day right before my period started. I know that I have worse flare problems during my period and this is the second month in a row that I've had a bad...
Thanks for all the responses. My symptoms did end up passing and I felt better the next day. I have to admit that I did have onion rings for lunch (Bad, I know) and I was wondering about gall bladder...
A couple times in the past month I've had a few days where I get a lot of pain around my mid-section in my back. It's like I was working out and my muscles are sore, but I don't think it's my...
I had a really bad day yesterday after I ate lunch. I had lots of pain around my mid-back area every time I would breathe. Then I got weird chills and tingling feelings down to my feet and through my...
Just bumping this up... Any other probiotic thoughts? Thanks!...
I was diagnosed about 2.5 years ago and am currently not on any medication. Started out trying a few anti-inflamm meds and I wasn't getting any relief. I started on fiber and a probiotic and have...
I was diagnose with CD last summer. Now my 8-yr-old son is starting to have some weird symptoms. He has had a couple instances of messing in his pants (just a tiny bit) or having immediate diarrhea...
I came down with a bad, bad case of strep throat and after a trip to the clinic and the ER, I had to go on a round of omnicef and then another, stronger antibiotic. Even though the second drug is...
Well, gals, I'm glad to see we're all in the same "bind" here. Thanks for all the "support!"...
BRA!!! Am I the only one who has extreme discomfort when wearing a bra? What with the upper abdominal bloating and then having to sit at a computer to do my work, it's awful. It sure is nice on the...
Yes, I have asthma and CD. I developed asthma about 17 years ago after a BAD bout with pneumonia. Have had gut issues for 15+ years too, but only diagnosed with CD in the last year. I've been a...
I tried taking Entocort and after taking it for 3 days, I got really big side effects - sore mouth, shakes, extreme headache, breathing difficulty. I thought it was lost to me. Months later, my FNP...
Feeling the nausea when hungry might be a sign of GERD. I am currently on Aciphex for GERD twice a day and my nausea seems to be under control. The CD symptoms not so much but at least the nausea...
Wow, Ides, thanks for the info. I hope I can follow your example. That would be such a huge relief to me. I love my pets so much. They always help me when I'm feeling yucky from the CD....
Well, I don't have it as severe as you but yes, the constipation has started in for me. It used to be D, but now C. I make sure to take fiber pills every day and also, if needed, I do a stool...
I'm wondering if the CD has spread to my esophagus. I have a head cold/sore throat for the first time and my throat feels like it is almost totally closed down. I can hardly swallow. My throat isn't...
Just bumping to see if anyone else has any experience with this. Thanks!...
Well, maybe that's all it is - global warming! The water levels are lower so everything is sinking instead of floating!! /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...
OK, now this is going to sound crazy to some of you. If you think I'm crazy just look away. But, it seems like before I was dx'd with CD, my bm's would sit closer to the front of the toilet bottom....
I've been talking with my nurse practitioner. She really wants me to be on Humira, although my symptoms are currently not too bad. Everything else I've tried (entocort, pred, asacol)-I had reactions...
Sometimes I get the weirdest shiver sensation, get dizzy and nauseous and then I feel the urge to have a bowel movement. I don't always have the BM because right now I'm battling constipation. But,...
My doc is pretty much insisting that I start on Imuran. He wants me to go to Humira but I must start Imuran first. I already have asthma and slight allergies to my pets. But, after having my cats for...
It seems that all the oral medications I have tried, after 4-5 days I end up with the worst side effects. It doesn't seem like I'm allergic to the drug because I would think I'd have the reactions...
Yes, my asthma is amped up when I get a cold, but that is not the issue right now. Actually, when I had my annual pulmonary function test in May, my allergy doc told me that if I did that well next...
I have asthma (have had for 15 years). Newly diagnosed with CD and GERD. Asthma seems to really kick up when I am constipated or if my GERD is out of control. I was on Protonix (2x day) for almost 2...
I live in North Dakota and am about 7 hours from Mayo Clinic. People here often go there for a more extensive workup. My GI doc is not very helpful and has no bedside manner. I am having an ongoing...
I've had a few days of immense upper abdomen burning and yesterday was even having an asthma flare. Apparently when I get bad GERD my asthma really flares and nothing helps. I am already taking...
I have repeatedly asked my GI doc if I should take antibiotics and he always says it is not helpful. My opinion is, nothing else is helping me, maybe it will work. Why not try? But, I've also seen...
How did it affect you? I just started taking it. I was on it for 3 days and my eyes became extremely blurry (more than they have been)and my asthma was exacerbated. But the biggest thing was my right...
I started on Asacol this week and today I have awful pain in my heel/calf/back of my leg and lower back. It feels terrible and the skin on the back of my leg is hypersensitive. I don't see a rash,...
So, I'm going to start on Asacol and am supposed to take 2-400 mg 3 times a day. I was thinking about taking the 2-400 mg tablets twice a day. Part of the reason is I work from home and don't get my...
So I am still confused about how you know if you are in remission of not. I was supposed to start Asacol but have held off because I am feeling better. My gut issues (D and C) have gotten much...
I have a cousin who is now selling monavie, or acai berry, juice. She claims it has done wonders for her arthritic feelings and back pains and that they are getting good reports of its ability to...
I was given some samples of Flora-Q2 Probiotic from my doctor. I think it works great, but now when I started to look at buying it, it is normall over $50 for 3o capsules!! Crazy! Does anyone have a...
This may seem like an odd question, but it seems like when I wake up in the morning I have this buzzing/zinging/humming type feeling in my head and sort of down my arms and around my fingers. It is...
Well, it sure looks like I am not alone - unfortunately for us all. My breathing problems have been getting worse and now I'm also getting more of a stuffy nose. I went through all the allergy...
42 Had what I call IBS for about 15 years and nervous stomach issues as a child. My vision and joint pain, along with a slight increase in gut issues, is what really sent me to find the answer to my...
Dizziness was one of my first and main symptoms before I was dx'd with CD this summer. I was having dizzy spells, sometimes with the shakes and sweats/chills for months before I got dx'd. They kept...
Wow Judy! I should have "talked" to you before I started several off and on conversations with my doctor. Great info. knottedup - I feel for you. I have pretty much been going through the same thing....
HabsHockeyFan - Sorry to hear about your awful experience. I just wanted to ask you how long you were on the Pentasa before you had to now move on to something else. I am planning on starting Asacol...
I am not currently on any meds except for Protonix and I have the blurry vision too. It was one of my first symptoms before my actual CD dx. Seems worse in the sunlight and when I'm at the computer....
Interesting that you guys say this is a precursor to a flare. I started having arthritic like pain in my left elbow in December. By March my gut was acting up and by May I was getting dizzy spells...
This question is inspired by the thread about Chronies with C. I have C and then finally D. After being diagnosed I've tried to stay away from fiber foods but now I'm thinking I should start taking...
I agree. It seems like the fatigue is the worst thing. Some days I just can't get any work done. My head spins, I'm dizzy and my brain is fuzzy. My fatigue is the most intense after lunch. So I've...
My problem had always been D a couple times a week and now since I have been Dx'd I've been getting C. Not sure if it's cuz I cut back on fiber (and eating in general) or what. But now my problem...
