I was thinking kidney stone. Warm bath should help if it is that. Hope you feel better....
Never had any issues with being sleepy or heart racing. Mark-glad you are still feeling well. I would love to get off the Humira. 6-mp is scary to me too though. Maybe do that next instead of another...
I will check when I get home about the mg. I don't know?? I gotta tell you, I was not impressed with Dr. Stein at all. I have been doing medical research for 20 years (I am not a doctor), but some of...
It sound like he has added a lot of information since I had any dealings with him. I am going to have to check out his website again. I am currently on 1 Neuroreplete, 1 D5 Macuna 40%, and 2...
Instantcoffee, Let us know how it goes. I hope it works for you. What supplements are you using? Did you get them from Dr. Stein? Just curious because I would love to have options in that regard....
Aguywithuc- You don't have to tell me......I will check out LondonLurker's post....
Canada Mark- How are you feeling? Still in remission from the Oregano oil protocol? I will say this about trying to get off the Humira and the Amino Acids. My issues with my UC seem to stem around my...
I'm around, just lurking from time to time. I am still on this therapy. BUT, and it is a big BUT, I also do it in conjunction with Humira. I started them about the same time.....and I have tried to...
Did they leave your ovaries in?...
I was given no other option but surgery. Today is 4 weeks and I do feel a bit better. Still have a lot of swelling (I am told that is normal because there is no where for it to go). So, I guess I...
It took about a month for me. But I have always been really receptive to meds. I hope it works for you....
No banding. I heard that would be a walk in the park compared to what they did to me. So, I had internal and external ones removed. They made 3 incisions around my anus like a Y, removed what they...
Just had an hemmrhoidectomy. Not fun. After 14 years of those buggers hanging around, I finally bit the bullet and had the surgery. Anyone contemplating it, don't. After 3 weeks, I am finally back to...
I did suprep last time and agree with Sherry. I only needed half the prep, which was good because I don't think I could have gotten the last bit down. Good luck....
My GI said that long term effects have not been proven yet. He prefers other biologics before it because of that reason....
I have been reading the same things. VERY long and painful recovery. I tried butchers broom but it gave me awful pain in my jaw. I'm scouring the internet for other options....
I'm trying. I have upped my fiber. What else can I do? I use baby wipes when I can and sitz baths as I can. Any other recommendations?...
My GI told me to go get my Hemmie cut out at my last c-scope. BUt, I hardly ever have issues with it, so I postponed....especially after reading how painful it is and how long the recovery is. Now, I...
Old Hat- I am doing ok. Some days are better than others, but basically, I am living again. Working, running my kids around. Too busy to think about it much. My bad days are much better than they...
Hi guys, Its been a while since I have logged on. I have been lurking around and reading all of your posts. I thought some of you would find this article interesting....especially if you feel better...
Great. My company is switching to Blue Cross in Jan. This stinks....
Made me sicker than a dog. 5 days after starting back up, I was in the worst flare of my life. But, I know everyone is different. Just didn't work for me....
Awesome news! Enjoy being healthy and double enjoy the pain meds....
I am with Canada Mark. I love pred. Never had any side effects and felt great on it. You might get lucky and feel great!! Put me back into remission fast and helped me gain some much needed weight...
keep me posted on what your GI makes of it. I am super interested. Glad you doing well. That puts a smile on my face....
Doing ok. I have been having a week or so every month that totally sucks, but other than that, I am doing ok. I really want to try spirulina, but there is a warning not to use it with Humira. So, I...
Is anyone taking this while on Humira or remicade. I just read that it can "possibly" interact, but wanted to see if anyone has tried it....
I located some butchers broom and will pick that up today. I will let you know how that helps with the internal one. I have been reading some very disturbing things about the surgery....don't want to...
So sitz baths work for internal hemmies? I always thought they were for external....
Badgut-Was it Rutin?...
I tried to search for this, but I remember a while ago someone posting about supplements they are taking for internal hemmies. I was wondering if anyone is using anything, or can recommend anything....
That is awesome....
ipoop-if you really want an article, e-mail me....
Praying for a quick recovery....
Hayden- I have been on Humira for a little over a year. No infections (knock on wood), nothing really bad to report. The shots hurt, and it is expensive. But I really don't have anything else bad to...
Thanks for sending me this. I am still on the Amino acids. They seem to help me. Canada Mark-the info about estrogens-well, that would explain why women have a hard time during certain times in their...
None of my jobs have I been able to work from home. Cells to feed, experiments to run. But after I worked there for a while, I let my boss' know what is going on with my health, and they (luckily for...
I work out as much as I can. I think it helps. But you need to listen to your body....
I am on Humira too. I have also been in remission via c-scope in July. Every month I have a day of blood and mucous. Not a lot of either, but definitely noticable. Once a month, but other than that,...
I did medical research for years. As long as I got my work done, nobody said anything to me. Now, I am a biology lab manager at the local university. All of my co-workers and all of my boss' know...
kazbern-I don't know which one it is. That is what I am trying to figure out. Banana-how long after your simponi shot did your dizziness show up? Just got my blood work back from the doc and it all...
Been on Humira a year with no issues. Took shot on Friday, on Monday got hot flashed and lightheaded with dizziness. This has been going on for 5 days now. Is tons worse when I get really hungry. I...
Faith-sorry to hear it stopped working. that stinks. I heard (not sure if it is true) that Vedoluzimab will be approved soon. That is the way I am going when (not if) Humira stops working for me. I...
Me too. Been on it for a year now. C-scope shows remission. The only side effect I have is that it has raised my cholesterol. I have no other issues or complaints with it. And it has been a...
oh yeah, and I now have really high cholesterol. only 5-7% of people get this side effect, I guess I am one of the lucky ones....
Been on it for a year now. If I go to every week, I get awfully bloated and uncomfortable. Seems to help me. My only complaint is that I think it affects my eyesight...but that may just be me getting...
Mark- better than you felt on the amino acids at your best???...
I do take tumeric already, but probably not a dose that would do too much. I take salmon oil from puritans pride. I will look at the omega 3 content. Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it....
So, my cholesterol is way high. Usually i am right around 200, but now it is 262, and I have been eating better. I searched and sure enough, high cholesterol is a side effect in 5-7% of patients. I...
