My crohns is doing pretty good so far. Haven't been in the hospital since last march. My next Remicade treatment is on Feb 4th. I did freak out about 2 weeks ago, when I thought I was having a...
I dunno if this topic has been posted, but is it safe for a crohn's patient to eat sushi? I've always veered away from the raw stuff, but always wanted to try it. Also, do any of ya'll tend to freak...
hi, I was wondering if any of ya'll know if there is any grants out there for people that are disabled with crohns. After suffering from 5 flareups last year (4 of those requiring me to go to the...
You suffer how? I'm suppose to start Remicade on wednesday..and I'm have a bit of apprehension....
I start my remicade infusions next wednesday and I have two questions. The first was about how long does each infusion lasts. And did any of yall have any physical reactions to it? like did you feel...
Well I went to my GI doctor today (I was in the hospital ER last week with a obstruction). He said that my CT scan showed alot of "internal fistulas". He said that I need to go the Remicade route...
Last wednesday I had another (as the er doctors called it) a "mild to moderate obstruction". This is the 4th flare I've had since august. I've been hospitalized once in august and also in november....
During my most recent flares, I have had a lot of gut noises. Like the other people in here have said, I think it has something to do with inflammation....
I've found that I can barely drink two beers before I get the "sick" feeling in my gut. After my second hospitalization I have sworn off booze and smoking. "Ya don't drink, don't smoke, what do ya do"...
I was given Ambien while I was in the hospital back in August. I had a bad reaction to it, felt as though bugs were all over my hands. I can fall asleep pretty easily every night. I do wake up from...
hey mcleaver1969, when you do have the symptoms of a "blockage", when do you deceide its time to go to the hospital. I have had your symptoms before but whenever I start throwing up, I tend to panic...
I was on 60mg of pred when I got out of the hospital (november 23rd-27th). I'm tapering, so right now I'm only on 20mg a day. I have noticed, I can't get enough to drink today. I have drank almost a...

I do have insurance...just not any drug coverage. After reading all the side effects from the Humira...I dunno if I am comfortable taking it. Of course, all the drugs I am on now, have a ton of side...
He said at first it sounded like a bug, but when I said I was having some pain in my lower right abdomen yesterday, he began to think it may have been a blockage. He wants me to check into Humira...
yes, I see my GI doctor tommorrow. He did a colonoscopy in may, and said that my crohns was actually very good. I had a few ulcers and a fistula, but he (the dr) was very pleased with how the disease...
They only did the CT Scan. In august, they did CT scans and rounds of xrays. I assume I was almost blocked, since my symptoms were similar, except for the sweats, which I had this time. When ya'll...
My name is Matthew and I was diagnosed with crohn's disease about 8 years ago. My GI doc put me on Asacol, and I have had much success with it. With the occasional flare-up every year, I had been...
