With swimming season creeping up I am finding myself concerned about the pool in our apartment. It's 20 feet away from where I live and I have 2 kids that love to swim. I was just wondering if it is...
I can't lay on my left side either, it's uncomfortable and usually sends me to the bathroom. It also gives me heartburn. When I lay on the right side, everything settles down....
I have been feeling good for months now but this morning I woke up and felt like someone wailed on my stomach. It hurts to stand up straight, cough, sneeze, etc... Can you be so swollen up that it...
I am currently having those symptoms too. It starts about 3 weeks after my infusion and hurts really bad. It is different joints different times too. But it helps my other symptoms so well that I am...
I am A- and had the shot twice. Symptoms were there before I had kids but were definitely worse after the birth of my son....
It took me 5 infusions before I finally felt a difference. But now there is a huge difference, I have my life back. The only side effects I have noticed is joint pain a week or so before my next...
I'm sorry your fiance has been going through this. Also, I know it's hard on the partner so you just writing this means you care and I bet that means the world to him. I have pancolitis and was going...
Blueheron, yes Remicade is expensive but I qualified to get it free for a year so I am not paying anything out of pocket for it. Today has been a little better, I doubled up on some allergy medicine...
The nurse who does my infusions told me that if I ever have such bad joint pain that I can't get out of bed I needed to head to the ER. I could get out of bed but it would hurt like heck and if I sit...
I have been weaned off the prednisone for over 6 months. But I have been really sick until here recently so that makes sense, thank you fruitgirl. Daffodil, I had no improvement of symptoms at all...
So, I started Remicade and have had 5 infusions. Finally they started working a little. I am not in remission by all means but I am having more good days than bad days. I actually had a 17 day streak...
So on sunday I went to the ER with a high fever, chills, and loss of blood. I ended up having c.diff, having to have a blood transfusion, getting my gall bladder removed, and loaded up with...

Thanks for the replies. Having blood clots was a new thing for me, but knowing other people have them makes me feel a little better I guess, hopefully you know what I mean. I'm exhausted today and I...
I was just wondering if any of you guys have had blood clots in the toilet after you have a bowel movement....
I am currently flaring really bad, pretty much peeing blood from the bottom and black coffee ground like stuff. I have been in the hospital 16 days this year and I just don't want to go back. I am on...
I was just wondering how long it took for you to see results with Remicade. I have had 2 infusions and have stayed the same if not a little worse. I'm feeling a little discouraged and would love to...
Is the Imuran supposed to help with urgency and blood or pain, or all of it?...
I have that too, I start out pretty normal in the morning and as the day progresses so does my tummy. By bed time I look 7-8 months pregnant. I hate it! But at least you are not alone......
Thanks, I will look it up....
I was recently diagnosed with right-sided colitis about a month ago and put on prednisone (30 mg. down from 40) and Lialda (just switched yesterday from Asacol hd 800 mg.) Anyways, in just a matter...
