You are so sweet. Yes, the pancreatitis pain is worse than any others I have experienced, bar the raw Crohn's Disease on my sit-upon. It was just as painful. It brought tears with every BM, I...

Hi Lynn, I lost my dad when I was 11, and my mother when I was 16. Of course, at first it was devastating and so very sad. Now, I do have such sweet memories of them, and those memories make me so...
I am sorry for the problems that keep you from trying it. I wish you could take it. It truly works for me. God bless and stay well, Maddi...
Hi Lyn, Thanks for your kind words. Yes, it is devastating to watch your loved one slip away, further and further out of your grasp. You want to hold on, but eventually, they let go of your grasp. We...
Hi Lynn, I hope this discovery brings help to those in dispair. My husbands father has recently been diagnosed with Altzheimer's Disease. It seems he sleeps 18 and even more hours a day! He doesn't...
Yeah, but for many, including me, when a Benadryl is taken at bedtime, you sleep like a log! And, at that point, "I don't know nothin' about RLS or shaking or jerking my legs or massaging my legs, or...

Hi Gillian and Martha, I have had numerous surgeries too. My staples usually came out in ten days or so. But I guess each patients healing process and progress is individual. Have you asked your...
Hi LFW, I have had my bag lose it's seal and mess me up! I have had it while sleeping and also while up and about . I lamented over this "stinky" situation in the past, and I got a couple of answers....
Thanks, Cindy, for your reply and information. I was afraid that this might be Crohn's involvement in the Stoma. My GI says that my colonoscopy last month was looking very good! I can't imagine that...
I don't know why I wasn't given the option! Do you think it was because I had my rectum and sigmoid disected and left inside for several months to try and give it a rest to see if it would heal. I...
Hi Sue, Yes, that helps with my understanding. I was not given a choice (my Chron's was in the sigmoid/rectum area and so maybe I should have had that option!) I only know how the colostomy works...
Hi RJ, I am sorry this first session turned out to be unbeneficial to you. I hope your next session will be able to be about you and your feelings. If you find no benefit from this psychiatrist (hey!...
Thanks Sue for answering my questions. I am about ready to try almost anything! What is the difference between J-pouch and colostomy? I was not given an option, I just woke up to a colostomy! I had a...
Hi Mystic! Congratulations on the upcoming blessed event /community/emoticons/yeah.gif I am excited for you! I can see your dilema, but I have not been pregnant with an ostomy. There are people on...
Before my colostomy, I had the most horrible burning in my "sit-upon". I had Crohn's Disease in my sigmoid colon and throughout my rectum. Evey BM caused horrendous pain to my "you-know-what". I had...
Hi RJ, I'll keep you in my prayers for a good session tomorrow! Do let me know how things go! I will be thinking about you! God bless and stay well, Madelyn...
Most people who suffer chronic pain will inherit some depression as well. It is almost like a side effect! Anyway, it is understandable. Have you spoken to your GI about this and how it is affecting...
Hi Redjeep, I am a Chronie, too. I also have Chronic Pancreatitis. I think I understand your concerns with the Chron's, meds, and Strep. You are taking the Immunosupresent drug Immuron to keep your...
