About 5 years ago I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, I don't really have any symptoms form it, aside from a headache from time to time if I eat it. Therefore I'm not always the best when it comes...
Tour thank you so much for the list, I can so relate to many and it put a smile on my face :) The doctor said I have an upper respetory infection and an infected cyst on my head, prescribed doxycline...
I should have clarified about the antibiotic .... I have a cyst On my head that is infected and I needed antibiotics for it last time. I'm really falling apart, cyst, deep cough, stye, and tail end...
I love this place because I can share everything and no one judges ... Well at least not till now: I fell asleep in the bathroom on the floor! I was up last night throwing up (I have some virus that...
Okay, so here's my long story short for those who don't know what's going on. I was released from the hospital last Monday after a 10 day stay for a flare. Going home I still felt kinda bad, but was...
I had thought that too about the pain Meds but it was before taking them ... Then I couldn't take them (couldn't keep down) so then I get behind on pain which makes me sick... Vicious cycle. Sorry to...
My next dose is on Friday (the 6th). Will they give it to me if I am sick? I'm actually at the Er right now, my throat is covered in blood and is super painful, in addition to all the other symptoms....
I'm feeling a little better now, ate some crackers and ginger ale and my stomach hasn't protested yet (knock wood). I'm really not Sure what's going on with me and it's so Frustrating. My throat is...
They gave me oxycodone (I think that's the name... It's Percocet without the Tylenol). It has helped a lot, but now I'm sick with something else, I had projectile vomiting (thank God my boyfriend was...
Today's appointment went much better, the doctor really listened to me and gave me some good pain Meds and didn't make me feel uncomfortable talking about it at all. My throat was bothering me too,...
Well I was released from the hospital on Monday after being there for 10 days due to flare. I get horrible pain with my flares (they said that it could also have to do with having ibs). Well they...
I have Celiac Disease and Ulcerative Colitis and my doctor thought I was crazy when I told him that eating gluten helped stop my flares, he couldn't figure it out. But in doing some more research and...
Just a quick update, the doctors came in and aren't sure if it is because of the remicade or not, it appears there is less blood in my BMs today, so that's something. They have put me on tussillion...
I have been in patient with a flare of my uc since last Thursday. They had to all the required testing and started the infusion last night, but they had to stop it after about a tenth of the bag...
"I would rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies" Wow, I have never heard this expression, but I love it!...
Lol oh yes, my furry friends always take the best care of me when I am not feeling well--- they are always so perceptive about how I am feeling and what I need (as long as they get what they need......
Glad to hear another success story! I am very helpful and more optimistic than I have been in a while! Sorry for the typos and spelling errors in my posts... I'm typing from my iPhone and can't...
That's a good idea about starting a blog, I am a writer so I usually find that getting my thoughts down makes me feel better, and the blog would be good idea so then it would be only those that...
This disease has really showed me who my real friends are. I am 30 and have always had some health problems (celiac disease, anxiety), but this is much more of an intense disease (at least for me)....
Oh wow, thank you so much for the positive information on it! HOw wonderful would it be to cry from joy and not pain on the toilet! They are awaiting the TB results before they can start it, but...
Sorry to hear about your daughter, I would suggest starting your own thread so that you can get information specific to what she is going through. Take care...
Luckily I work from home doing transcription and editing, but sometimes even that is hard because I have to start and stop a lot and it will sometimes mess up my transcription because I lose my...
I am hoping it is a miracle drug, but I also want to help it along its way. I've actually never taken probiotics and I'm starting to think that is something I really need to get on. Does anyone have...
I am from Southern Vermont, where it was 80 degrees yesterday! My GI is in NH and I have a great team of doctors that I work with! I was actually accepted to Westfield State in Westfield, MA... what...
I was diagnosed with UC about a year ago, since then I have been admitted to the hospital three times (currently in patient). I have only been here for five days (last time it was over two weeks) and...
A mini update: I had the PICC line put in yesterday, it wasn't too bad, but if I try to move my arm to much or lift something it really bothers me, so I have to be careful with it. I also go to have...
Thanks for all the responses. I have been gluten free for a while now, have to admit I haven't been perfect since I was diagnosed with celiac in 2008, but have been perfect since 2011. I am thinking...
First off, sorry for any spacing or spelling errors as I'm posting this on my iPhone. I was diagnosed with UC last April and since then have had two flares. I was hospitalized for three weeks in late...
I called today, thinking that they might just say to start the prednisone I had left over from the flare of a few months ago. They wanted to see me in office, so I set up an appointment for 3...
I am currently on Lialda, Prozac, Phenergan, Bentyl, Tylenol, and ativan. When it first started I thought it was a one off, but then it kept happening and I'm ashamed to say I had an accident....
Or is there no need to call at all? I just went into "remission" about a month ago, and was in the hospital for three weeks. This current bout has been going on for a week now. I have called my...
I haven't been on here since late last year when I was in the hospital do to a flare. To complicate matters I also have Celiac Disease and IBS. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks, at first for getting...
When I was in the hospital about three weeks ago I kind of passed out and they didn't really check me over right after. My mom kept being like "shouldn't she have a ct or at least have a doctor come...
I just spoke to my doctor's nurse about the indomethacin and they said to stop it right away. Now I'm just concerned what they will treat with because I know most GI docs don't like narcotic...
I haven't posted in a while, last time I did I was in the hospital, well I was there for 2 weeks, then went down to Mass General a few days later because I wasn't getting any better. All my "labs"...
I have decided to seek another option, especially after the one I was just speaking with said that it sounded like I might just have a touch of "IBS" Really? I've been in patient for 2 weeks with...
I have been in patient for almost 2 weeks now, and have just been switched to oral prednisone. It is the worst stuff EVER! I passed out last night from throwing up, and when I was on the ground I was...
So the GI doctors just came in and said that I can try to eat and take oral steroids today and if they are okay I can go home tomorrow. I know I should be happy about this, as it is Christmas, but...
The only steroids I'm on at this point are the IV ones and the Lialda. I have never had bleeding post colonoscpy before, so I'm relieved to find that it is to be expected. It's amazing how something...
I also have some weird type of blister thing on my elbow along with one on my thumb. No idea where they came from. They aren't bed sores, but puss filled...the nurse said it looks like a spider bite,...
Well I just got out of the colonoscopy.. didn't really show too much, minor pan-colitis and they took biopsies for infection. The whole thing was horrible, my regular GI had told me that whenever I...
I will certainly keep you all posted, I'm scheduled for 11 AM as long as I'm clear. No fun sleepy state for me, I have to be given general because I have a high tolerance to things that make me...
I am about 40% done with the prep and it seems to be "clearing" up some. I just asked to see if they can give me Ativan as sometimes that helps with the pukey feeling Plus would help my nerves at the...
Nurse just came in and have to drink the whole jug and they don't have any flavoring to put in it :( I seriously feel like crying. I am thankful for the IV phenergan, but also so worried about puking...
Well the nurse just came in and said that they are gonna do the colonoscopy tomorrow... I am really not looking forward to the prep, although I'd be shocked if I had much left in me anyways... I'm...
notsosicklygirl: they said that if the symptoms don't improve by tomorrow I will have a scope. At this time I'm honestly not seeing anything wrong with having one, as my symptoms keep going back and...
Thanks everyone, I am always happy to make more e-friends :) My name is Liz btw :) I am hoping it is something obvious too, just the other day I looked at my boyfriend and went "wouldn't it be nice...
First off I want to say this site has helped me so much, I don't post too often, but lurk all the time. I was diagnosed with moderate left side colitis in the spring, had been doing okay with it...
Just thought that I would check in and say that they admitted me for IV steroids, hopefully here for only a few days, but I guess we'll see. I really don't want to be here for Christmas...
Thank you so much for all the information, Peace&Harmony. I will be sure to pick up some ginger tea. I have been taking the pred with food, but doesn't seem to help much. Thanks for the prayers :)...
