Thanks VG and blks...
Sorry to Butt in but I thought I was the only one having that little Sneezing/Coughing squirt problem. Is a little urgency now and then a common/normal thing as well?? The urgency that i get...
Sometimes mine would get slightly better and sometimes alot worse. On a good day it would only be 1/4 around the stoma but sometimes as of lately 1/2 way and more blotchy and it would hurt for a bit...
I have had slightleaking under my wafer or under the adapt ring for the full two years since my surgery. The bottom half skin around my stoma has never healed and I always leak a little under the...
Just wondering how anybody that uses this finds it ?? It has been almost 2 years since my Ileostomy surgery and the skin at the bottom of my stoma has never healed. Waste always seems to get under...
duh, now why didn't I think of that, especially when I buy other stuff on eBay. I just picked up 2 boxes of my 14803 for $30 less !! Thanks gmark !! :-)...
Hi Larasmom, My email is up......
Hi Ann, I am interested in your 18123 bags if you are not going to use them, I have made my email visible, please email me :-) Thank you, Darryl...
I'm in Arnprior Ann, about 40 minutes away from you :-) Lol!! Now you got me wondering if I even want to try the flat nonconvex ones now. But they are half the price of the convex which makes me...
Thank You, canmeddirect.ca is definitely cheaper and looks like free shipping as well :-)...
Hi peeps, Right now I'm looking for a way to cut costs on my ostomy supplies without giving up the quality. The Ontario government apparently gives me $600 per year. I figure the supplies I use now...
My flare up lasted 2 years, remicade and humira didn't help, I was off for that whole two years. I had an Ileostomy surgery July 18th. Went back to work last month. Feel great, no regrets and I...
Just so new people with ostomy pouch's know, a good temporary cover is a bag with a drawstring like the old purple Crown Royal whiskey bags. While I'm waiting for an actual bag cover I ordered to...
Well I tried my first adapt ring on Saturday, went on well and didn't feel like I needed a chance till yesterday so I got 4+ days out of it. However stuff did get past the adapt seal I realized when...
I'd still be staying away from stuff with skins for now, you said you had red peppers. Also means cherries, grapes, apple skins, peach skins, etc... And raw veggies as they are harder to digest.....
I had a fistula form just after they put me on remicade for Ulcerative colitis. That was pretty much 2 years ago. I just had my ileostomy July 18th and I still have this damn fistula. They are...
Yes the directions do say that but I can't see that putting on the skin around the stoma first and then pressing the wafer on would make a difference. If anything I found it to be easier to see. I...
I though someone said that it swelled so that it almost covered the stoma I think. Do you flatten it and do it just a little larger than the stoma or do you leave a little extra room around the stoma...
As for showering I have a big thick towel I wrap around chest high. I then shave in the shower wash my hair, arms and legs. Then I remove the towel and just use a hand shower head to spray my lower...
I just had my surgery almost 6 weeks ago and have been using the Hollister 2 piece new image convex drainable with very little problems. I like it for the following reasons... Waterproof - swimming...
I have read some posts in here on these rings from 2010 and 2012 and would like to hear some newer comments on them. Some one said they tend to swell and turtleneck and I would like to know what that...
Thanks, and I'm happy for you. Must be nice getting your life back !! :-)...
I never actually heard of it to tell you the truth. But it's too late now, I can't give up my surgery date. My other problem is that for the last year and a half I have had a fissure form and never...
Here's a good one, I'm on a 6-9 month waiting list for surgery unless there's a cancelation so for the last 3 months I've been trying to get approved for Simponi as a last try instead of surgery...
I haven't had bad side effects and i was on Humira once a week, now twice a week. However i did shoot it once while i was just starting a cold and that was not a good decision. I had fever like...
Hi Gonk, i noticed you never did a repost in the Qing Dai thread on wether it did anything for you or not, could you please let us know. I'm very interested in it......
yeah i think that's were i plan to be going in 3 months is surgery. I have to wait 3 months to see my doctor again so if the new double dose of Humira doesn't put me in remission then i'm not taking...
KS, How long have you been on Simponi and how well has it worked, are you inflamed currently at all ??...
Thanks, but it's kinda making me nervous seeing as how nobody else seems to have done it yet. I think i know how a lab rat feels now......
Oh it's right, that i have no doubt of, just was hoping to find someone whose been through the same dose......
Is anyone else on this dose. When i first started this in like May i think they gave me 4 pens in one day, 2 weeks later they gave me 2 pens in one day and i seemed to be improving and i went to 1...
Never thought of shaking the crap out of it or stirring the bubbles out, gonna have to give that a whirl.....
Gingerale is the worst i find, even though it's usually suppose to be good for you if your sick. I find it gives me very terrible nights of gas on the throne. I am a coke drinker and while it's never...
Well so much for starting that... i took just my first 2 capsules the other day and had the big D for the rest of the day and night. Wasn't going to try again until after my colonoscopy this...
I've Used Humira for the past eight months, first couple of weeks was good then went to every two weeks and not so great. They put me back to every week and there was no change. I'm still on it but...
Sorry, misread your earlier post.....:-)...
I was on it for my first flare up, i lasted one day on it and broke out into hives and was itchy for the next week, they are guessing that i was allergic to it and iwas never brave enough to try it...
Hi John, Yeah my eating habits are atrocious, which is why i feel i'm down this path, contrary to my doctor who says he feels diet and eating habits have nothing to do with it. I still really find...
My insurance wouldn't cover Humira because it's not on the actual list of treatments for UC. So my Humira has been being paid for by something called 'compassionte care' for the past 6 months or so....
Hi everyone, Being new here, this is my first post. I am on long term disability and have been for about 15 months. I have not had alot of time to read here yet to compare my condition with everybody...
