yayyy! It's good to be home eh? I was stuck in the hospital too and didn't realize the comforts of home that I took for granted ;) Feel better!...
aw man :( I'm really sorry! That's the last thing you need right now :P I was so worried about how my b/f would take it when I was in the hospital, he had to play single daddy, and it's not even his...
Thank you for the wishes everyone! Things are going well still and I am managing to get all the things done that need to be done now at home. laundry.... dishes... homework...bills... FUNNNNNN...
yayyyy I just got my first infusion a few days ago and it is a miracle for me. I went from being in the hospital for nearly two weeks to suddenly NORMAL again.. (knock on wood) I feel amazing! Hope...
the miralax was good for my prep, it didn't bother my tummy at all. Everyone is different though :P hope yours goes well! the prep is the worst part lol...
OH, one more thing, while I was in there they did a colonoscopy on me WITHOUT sedation or pain meds.. has anyone had to do that before? OMG it hurt so bad especially when they started doing...
wow, I'm glad you're ok! I just got out of the hospital too and it was pretty scary. The only thing that worked for me was the remicade. Not looking forward to the bill! haha...
I was in the hospital for 10 days! It was the worst! Everything went wrong and no medications improved my condition. I was on a clear liquid diet for the WHOLE time! That is JUST broth and jello...
that does suck! hopefully she is at least understanding, sometimes jsut the stress of that can play a role! The prednisone definitely jsut turned me into a horrible person all around. I hated it and...
that's funny vicoden girl- the past two days the pain has been so bad I have been using my stockpile of vicoden that I have never used from all the surgeries I have had.. I have to say.. it's helping...
yes I had a colonoscopy, but it showed no inflammation. It only showed that there was a sort of "road rash" looking portion of my intestine. Other than that they said it looked fine......
I may be in denial about my disease, but I really don't think I have UC. I know that soy and corn bother me horribly. As soon as I eat anything containing them, I can feel my stomach cramping up and...
ya between my son waking up at night and myself having to get up and GO it makes for a pretty unrestful evening :(...
sounds like me.. ugh luckily my bathtub is next to the toilet.. so i can do both haha...
i have actually had problems with this before and it wasn't any poo coming out- it's straight blood :( i dont know what to do either.. it's hard to explain to someone at work that you have to go home...
i'm on prednisone and asacol I am checked regularly for anemia and i have been fine so far. I am on vacation in NYC and just worried that I am going to lose too much blood! I don't want to go to the...
How much blood is too much blood? If I'm losing so much, should I be going to the hospital? If I feel shaky and nauseous? I asked a nurse one time, and they said if I had a fever to go in.. but what...
sounds like the story of my life.. as well as the meds not working :P...
everyone is different, and some people can handle the nicotine and some cant. I do believe it is what finally did it for me to get rid of this flare, and I think now that I am not bleeding I can...
So, I read a lot about how nicotine is found to positively affect UC - not Chrohns. I have UC, and there is no way I would smoke, but hey they do have the patches or the gum. A couple weeks during a...
i started getting them when I started the asacol and my prednisone makes me shaky all the time...
I run every day, it does give me energy, but getting the motivation is sometimes hard.. :P...
We all know how you feel though, you would do ANYTHING if you just figured out what it was that was causing it. It's really maddening! It could be a chemical in the soap, so who knows, everyone is...
Thanks for sharing, I do know what connective tissue is, although I was unaware that prednisone destroys it. I am currently trying to get off of it, but of course have to do the taper :P When my dr....
