Hi all, Is this normal for anxiety? I have had it about 5 times in the past three months. The first occured at school (was stressed out - nursing school), one occured in hospital after being...
Okay so I want to start taking probiotics. Going to talk to my doctor about it in December at my next appointment. What ones does everyone take that are most effective? And do you need a...
I also wanted to agree with Dingleerie, taking the 6mp with he biologic is where the majority of the risk comes from. Especially with the cancers and stuff like that. The risk is higher in males than...
Hello, Okay, so I will have had Crohn's for a year now in December. I was 18 when I was diagnosed. I tried pred and everything else and by April, I had enough. They told me my disease was mild and is...
Hi everyone, I just discovered what I believe is ringworm on my upper arm...it's itchy and has a red ring around it. I am about to go to the store and buy some anti fungal cream, but I was worried...
Yeah I cried uncontrollably the first time mainly because the first one was a series of four shots and I knew what was coming...I surprisingly found it much better having to do the last two myself...
Ice cube is a very good idea, and the siting it out before does too...Thanks! Did it just not work for you and thats why you only used it for 3 months? I mainly asked this question because I didn't...
I started Humira yesterday, and my gosh those injections are killer! I took them in my thigh but I know you can do stomach too...Any advice for the pain? It seriously made me cry because I was not...
I have been having random dizziness since last Friday, was on 2 pills Budesonide at the time and 6 Asacol HD over the course of the day. Also hydrocort enemas. I just started Humira yesterday and...
Red_34, How long approximately do the infusions last? Thanks for answering all my questions : ) UC2012, I am so glad to hear something good about Humira, many people seem to not have good experiences...
He told me Humira was milder than Remicade and since I have very 'mild' UC that I should do well on it. I kind of think he tells me all of this just to make me feel better because I have had more...
Hmm, well he gave me hydro cortisone enemas yesterday and I just used the first one last night. That was my first experience with one and let me tell you it was awkward but I think I am used to it...
Andrina, I'm very sorry to hear that it isn't working for you yet..maybe with more time it will? Good luck! Jay79, thanks for your imput. I'm actualy really really nervous to start this medicine...
I am currently in college right now, but luckily for me my college is ten minutes away so I don't have to stay in a dorm. I would definitely want my own room...without a doubt, especially during...
Apriso did not work for me, I was switched from Asacol HD to Apriso because he said it was a lesser dose and since I was almost symptom free that I would benefit more from Apriso. That was not the...
I just saw my doctor today and he gave me Rowasa enemas and in a few weeks I am starting Humira as well. I am very very nervous about this...
I was switched from Asacol HD to Apriso by my doc when I was pretty much symptoms free and right on the edge of being in remission. Once I switched though my symptoms came back pretty bad. That might...
I went to my GI doctor this morning as all my other medications seem to be failing...and I was told that he wanted to start me on Humira within the next two weeks or so. For the time being he gave me...
Yeah reading through posts on here has been my main source of information. And are there any rectal meds that you would suggest above others? And thanks for the link :-)...
My doctor has never even mentioned rectal meds to me...is that something I should ask him about then? I have no clue about a lot of these medicines because I am relatively new to this disease so I...
lookforcure, I have been reading about this for a little while after I read your post and and I am definitely thinking about trying it. I am about to go to the websites now and look it up. I am on...
I don't take Pred but I do take Budesonide which is also a steroid but kinda different I guess and I have lost twenty pounds, 140 down to 120, since I was diagnosed in December and first put on it. I...
Whoops forgot to update my signature before I posted that... I am off Apriso as of the beginning of April. Started back on Asacol HD two capsules three times a day. And still on Budesonide two...
Hi everyone, So I am on Budesonide and Asacol HD (my list of meds are in my signature). I am getting under control again, had a minor flare in the end of March early April. All blood has stopped...
Thanks so much for your replies, this helps so much. I just hope I have good results. But okay, I see the difference now between grain fed and grass fed...thanks so much :D...
I am definitely going to try this Paleo diet! I have been reading up on it and all of the foods it lists I LOVE. I really hope this helps, it would honestly be a miracle. I do have a question though,...

Hi everyone, I just recently bought the book 'Breaking the Vicious Cycle' by Elaine Gottschall because I was interested in reading it to see what the recipes are and everything behind the diet. I...
Thanks to everyone for their replies, I really enjoy reading the stories and it really opens my eyes to a lot of things. I hate having to go out in public and eat. So if I do, I try to find a small...
Thanks so much for your response...my doctor has no clue what could be causing it, but it gets to the point where you just need some relief. I have had back pain in the past, but it never seems to...
I would love for some people to share their experiences with uc and their personal relationships. Is your partner supportive? I am new to this whole experience and would love to hear some stories!...
I take Budesonide, 3 capsules daily. I was just diagnosed in the end of December 2011, so this and Asacol HD were the first medicines I have been put on. Budesonide has worked wonderfully for me so...
Hi all, For the past two months or so, I have been experiencing a dull, aching pain in my right calf (on the outer side and the back). Just the other day, the same exact pain started in my left leg...
