Sorry to hear about your Dad, praying for everything to balance out. Glad to hear that your UC is not showing itself through all this that you are dealing with. :)...
Thankfully I am just lactose intolerant and am enjoying Lactaid and all that they offer at least what I can get my hands on lactaid wise. But, it sounds to me that you are just unable to have dairy...
i work with children myself, it's hard to get your UC managed in an environment like working with kids. It is understandable about maintaining ratio and giving the kids stability. I've been in...
Before I went on Humira, I started Remicade, horrible reaction to the Remicade, so a week after my last dose attempt of Remicade, I started Humira and Imuran. Almost a month and a half later I went...
When I was first diagnosed and in remission, but my body was still sensitive to foods, I had deep fried breaded onions from Burger King. Well, I ended up having abdominal pain after a couple of hours...
Fried Chicken! I would eat fried chicken either for lunch or dinner. I don't know when, but if I were able to eat that again I'd be in heaven....
We haven't discussed anything yet, maybe my next appointment we will discuss the next step....
Some of you may know that I have been pregnant in the past and have miscarried. The last pregnancy lasted almost 8 weeks, but the baby measured 6 weeks when I was suppose to be 7 weeks 1 day. Well, I...
Praying for you guys!...
BeatUC: I know to people with Crohn's. 1 is my age the other is old enough to be my grandma. But, I've learned from them that it's through out the entire digestive tract. It's not cureable. Read what...
I think Crohns is more popular than UC because there is no cure. The disease is through out the entire digestive tract. That's why UC is not that popular in people's minds. But, I don't lie about my...
I don't have answers for you, but I want to congratulate you on the pregnancy, I am 8 weeks 5 days pregnant! When r u due? R u due in April?...
Sure hope all goes well tomorrow! Glad it's happening sooner than expected. Will be praying for you two!...
andrina: Read this post. It states that Humira just got approved. http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=2112433...
When I first started Humira and took the loading dose, those pens caught me off guard. It was really hard. Glad to hear it was easy for you!...
I'm wondering if the Remicade doesn't work if your doctor could request to the insurance company stating that you did not respond to the Remicade and need to take Humira since it's the next step...
Are you on the pens on the syrnge?...
Yeah, that sure made my day! Then yesterday I got some more awesome news. I thought I miscarried again, but it turns out I hadn't. The baby is still growing, but the heart beat is still low, but it...
Isn't it nice to get surprises like that? I'm still a bit excited, I've never paid $5 for my humira before. This is going to be new to me....
I don't have that worry, but when they called, I was kind of wondering what they were trying to do. I had a feeling it was a negative call, but it wasn't....
I have taken time off of work due to an unfair work enironment and my pregnancy. So, right now we are depending on my husband's income to get us through while I look for another job, but, out of the...
I get "blips" every summer. I've also noticed the amount of fast food I eat will depend on how bad the flare will be. So, my hubby and I have been careful with the amount of fast food we consume and...
That's not bad of a co-pay. Mine costs $20 for a months worth of Humira....
Sure hope you get some relief with starting Humira..... it sure has done the trick for me....
I am in remission, but when I do have a flare up, all I get is blood in my formed stool. I never get horribly bad. So, maybe since you are still seeing mucus, you might still be in a flare and may...
I know the feeling, I've had my blood drawn so much I know where the best veins are. LOL...
1- what is the most horrible side effect anyone has ever had by taking it? No side effects whatsoever 2-What is the longest period of time you'd taken it? I took it for a year and a half 3-For how...
I'm lactose intolerant, even though I'm in remission, I still avoid lactose products. I actually avoid all my red flag foods that can lead to a flare....
My mom has bad asthma and when she was pregnant with me she took prednisone. I was totally fine, so, if that helps, and if that's what your doctor wants to put you on, then I hope this info makes you...
Humira has been my life line, i wouldn't stop it unless I chose to go towards surgery....
Your Welcome Beth75, just a heads up though when you talk to your GI, he/ she might suggest u to be in remission for 3 months before conceiving. Good luck!...
I'm doing good, I'm thinking of getting off of BBC too. This pregnancy is going better than the past ones, but I am still having spotting problems which are concerning me. So, I'm laying low on...
I was wondering where you were Boxermom2! Glad to have finally caught back up with u!...
I was flaring before my pregnancy. Even before I got a positive, I was flaring a little. But after I got my positive, the flare went away....
I'm actually allergic to Remicade. I almost went into anaphalyctic shock while getting the infusion. I've been on Humira since 2007 and it's been my miracle drug. I only have seasonal flares, and...
My screen name is simple. I work in day care so when I talk to the children, I sometimes call them sweetie, and 31105 is my wedding anniversary. March 11, 2005. Almost 6 1/2 years ago, I married the...
Working in child care, no matter what you will get sick until you are used to being in child care. After I got diagnosed with UC, I thought my body was going to react differently when I went back to...
Here is the PDF File, http://www.michigan.gov/documents/dhs/BCAL-PUB-0008_241660_7.pdf Here is the site u need to go to to search for other stuff....
The state licensing site will tell you all the rules that you need to know in day care, child teacher ratio, naptime ratio, u name it it's there. For "Testimony" its your story. How you became a...
Day care is all about ratio. Look for a state licensing site on the internet for your state and study that. I have had a lot of encounters of horrible day cares, so just be careful. The best ones are...
So, you have diverticulitis. My Grangpa had that and they just had to cut out a portion of his colon that the disease was at and then he's been fine. This could be a blessing in disguise since it's a...
Wow! That's nice... do they have a fill in doc while he's out?...
Keep me informed, I am curious to see if there have been changes in the past 4 years....
Humira is like the last step medicine before surgery. At least that's what I was told 4 years ago. I think, if I got my facts right, it was just FDA approved for UC....
Did u inject yourself on your own? Did you have any training? How many pens did you use? My first dose was 4 pens which is the loading dose. Also, I had to take it to my doctor's office to be trained...
I haven't been there for a year so FMLA is out for me. :(...
LOL! I got time off for a week, but I am trying to get disability now. I am unable to pull from my work, so I am trying Cali. Sure hope it works....
This is my first job here in Az, first pregnancy while working. I've miscarried twice before when I wasn't working. I just don't want the stress of my work to cause a miscarriage this time around....
I just feel like I'm being rail roaded and they are trying to get me to quit. I don't like how the situation is right now, but I don't know how to get out of it. I don't want to deal with all the...
I am having a hard time at work again. I told my boss and assistant Dircetor on Monday that I'm pregnant, and now they are finding any fault with me. They are trying to control my need to go to the...
