Growing up I always had very long healthy, thick nails. Then I started eating really healthy and cut most processed foods. Overtime my nails became brittle and began peeling off in layers. I assumed...
Also, do you take a multivitamin, that often will cause a neon yellow color...
I have yet to experience a mild flare, my first...and only ( so far) was bad. If I went from sitting to standing without taking my time I usually blacked out...needless to say I did very little...
Were you taking this medication before? Why did you increase to double strength?...
Actually highly recommended! I have had tetanus, hepatitis b, pneumonia, flu each year, etc...however, I am also a nurse and exposed to most of these on a daily basis...so being on Humira I'm...
Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried dandelion root or had any success/failure with it? I'm working on my nurse practitioner degree and my evidenced based practice project/literature review is on...
Yes, my GYN yesterday that I saw was in agreement with it not being potassium. I'm also taking Magnesium, but after speaking to her I increased it to 1000mg. I just started calcium & vitamin D...
I have been off Prednisone for almost 8 months now, my multivitamin also has a small amount of K+. I don't have diarrhea, no vomiting, and no diuretics, and my kidneys work- biggest reasons for K+...
I had my first flare in August 2013, was able to obtain remission after a tough go, via scope by the middle of November and taper off 80mg Prednisone my December. I ultimately ended up on Humira 40mg...
I know this is going to be an annoying post, and hopefully is perceived appropriately, and I dont know your entire history, but it does sound like you have built up quite a tolerance. However...
I am pretty sure I only have a job right now because I worked from home....if they knew how little I worked during my first (and only so far) flare...I would probably have been fired! I managed to...
I live on Madeira Beach in FLorida. I currently work from home full time as an RN for an insurance company, I also work every other weekend at the hospital. I'm also in school working on my Master's...
Maybe completely off topic, but biologics literally saved my life. I have been on Humira since October 2013- and thus far (hopefully I don't jinx myself) I have had really good luck. Zero side...
I'm a little perplexed on how he contracted c-diff? Does he have other health problems? It's just unusual for a "normal healthy 4 year old." Had he been on antibiotics for something? In the hospital?...
I also have had no issues when traveling. If the ice pack is frozen, it's not a problem. If for some reason the do take it, you can always get ice inside the terminal to pack in there. When I went...
I thought it was kind of sarcastic & funny...but I'm messed up like that!...
Bahaha a special coconut picked by a monkey in Brazil!...
Exercise and maintaining a healthy weight are the top two things to help improve arthritis and diabetes both-swimming, stationary biking, or light resistance training (either some weights or...
I used to only poop every 2-4 days, one big one. It wasn't until I became a nurse that I found out I was "weird!" I would give anything to go back to being weird! Lol...
My first thoughts were also depression or sleep apnea...while she may be sleeping, or laying in bed, it may not be good quality sleep. I get up several times a night to pee and I'm exhausted by mid...
I can't even begin to list all the problems. In the beginning, they would call me to refill it. I would go ahead and order then they would call me the day of delivery to tell me they couldn't fill it...
I wish I had that option...if I fill it so many times at a local pharmacy they "deny" it!...
I agree. When I tried to complain to my insurance company, they directed me to call Accredo..... I was like ummm,thanks!? I just needed to vent! I hate having to be so nasty, but after beating this...
Am I the only one that uses the specialty pharmacy Accredo? I'm required to use delivery pharmacy by my insurance for any maintenance medications. They have caused me nothing but issues since I...
1. My insurance dictated that I try Humira first. So no, I really had no option- fortunately I'm happy with it :-) 2-nope, just Lialda 3-see#2 4 I was on 80mg of Prednisone when I started...
Are you sure it's not a hemmhroid? Generally these will leave blood on TP, but not in the stool. I have a few...a and am in remission. They don't bother me too bad unless I have a large stool or a...
Not to start anything,..but in the hospital I was not allowed oatmeal on a low reside diet...apparently too much fiber per serving! I didn't look, mostly because I was so sick I didn't care- but may...
Ha! Well I live in Florida so we are hitting mid 70s most days now...starting to see summer in the neaaaaar future!!...
Nope...they can stay in the freezer....I wish there was a way to upload a picture! I agree about the sugar stealthguardian...although I justify it by saying I don't really eat any other sugar besides...
I use lifeway, used strawberry flavor with these...I know making your own is ideal...but between two jobs, a boyfriend, and working out 6 days a week...not everything gets done:-)...I forgot to add I...
That's sugar free pudding, and I froze for about 2 hours...
So I just did a little experiment---used about half a bottle of Keifer, some vanilla whey protein, and strawberries diced small- poured into Popsicle molds after mixing all ingredients! Went down...
I have to admit I go in and let it all go, however- I wait until everyone leaves to leave the stall! Lol... Has any one else noticed their poo doesn't stink as bad any more!? Is it just me!?...
I think I live simply...but according to your definition, no...lol I live in a small (I'm talking about 600sq ft) directly across from the beach. I work out several days a week, work a full time job...
I can be a sarcastic witch if you rub me the wrong way...I probably would have said something to the effect of "oh really? You can cure autoimmune diseases!? Why are you working as a PCP!?"...
Correct...subcutaneous injections CAN generally be given in the arm...I'm not really sure why Humira that sing an option. However, that is also why it's given in the back of the arm...the fatty...
It can be given in the fatty part of the back of the arm- the tricep area. However, I admin my own, so no idea how I would pinch with one hand and inject with the other...my GI didn't even offer it...
I'm total opposite! In the thigh makes me want to cry!...
Btw...Propofol is not general anesthesia. General anesthesia usually requires a paralytic and you are unable to control your own airway...it can be used during general anesthesia, but in conjunction...
Propofol is an incredibly common drug- and it is infact a sedative. The reason most providers like it so much as it has a very short half-life. You stop administering it and within just about...
We all knew what you meant...it just made me smile!...
Maybe that's Efferdent...lol...
I hope they gave you Effient for your heart attack, as I'm pretty sure Effident is used to clean dentures! :-) Hehe...so cute, I couldn't resist!...
I didn't read every response, but... It sounds like you had atrial fibrillation with RVR (rapid ventricular response). The top part of the heart sort of "quivers," and doesn't preform a full pump....
I am starting my master's in May. I will be doing 1-2 classes at a time... My full time job is 40hours, but a work at home gig, then I have a part time job I do every other weekend. I'm not so...
I started at slowly working out again....I had lost so much muscle being sick for so long. I used to squat 155lbs (I'm a female weight around 140)... When I got sick I had two grocery bags in my hand...
I have been on Humira since October...I'm in remission and feel great. I work a full time and a part time job, eat what I want for the most part. I work in a hospital as a nurse- so I have had all of...
I have been on Humira since October...I would say it took me a solid 8-10 weeks to start feeling normal again...I was also weaning from 80mg of Prednisone. But it did seem like every week things got...
I used to gag this down every morning because I heard it would aide in weight loss( ummmm...yah right ) but I know there are some other great benefits, and if it will help UC I'm gunna give it...
I thought I responded on here...but nope like a looney toon I posted it as it's own thread. I have been in "remission" with Humira since November, but recently started having mucous nearly every trip...
