The ones in Winnipeg, Manitoba seem pretty shady....
Different things work to help each of us. Congrats on getting some relief. :)...
Hey guys, I've tried the steroid enemas, and still take salofalk, both pills and enemas. Not really working anymore, and the last time I went on prednisone, I got horribly ill, and stayed that way...
Hey all. Been awhile and hope everyone new and old is getting some relief! Question for the remicade users out there. Do any of you have any side effects from this drug, and if so what are they? I'm...
Hey guys, no, no narcotics while on duty. Mostly try to limit them, and tough it out when I have to at work. Still seeing Dr. G quincy, took about a half dozen biopsies and hopefully all is well....
Hello all, haven't been around in quite some time. I've been doing my best to handle things on my own, and have actually done pretty well, a lot through the advice that I recieved early on from...
I've been lucky I haven't had any bad gas in awhile.........:)...
Hi Cadillac Lover. I haven't been around for awhile and just stopped in today and saw this subject. I've been working out on and off for 17 years (I'm 36) and have had UC for 4 years now (actually...
Hey Sunshineonmyface, tough time you are having here. I think the stress from dealing with this disease is one of the hardest things to deal with. It's no wonder that so many of us also take some...
I have no idea what caused mine. I had never been hospitalized, was not taking any medications and almost never had. I was a clean eater, lived a healthy life and was in great shape. The only thing I...
Welcome to the forum NEM! Depends on your exercise routine. I would suggest using google and looking for Bodyforlife by Bill Phillips. I got in the leanest shape in my life by following that routine...
my partner at work cant believe i can stink him out while driving, both windows open in the car, and a crosswind.........
I recommend the book "its not about the bike" by lance armstrong. its inspiring and along these lines.......
I was lucky that I didn't get moonface or gain weight no prednisone. But I can sympathize with all of those that gained a lot of weight, even though they did nothing to cause it. That would suck. :(...
ugh...sinus infections are no fun. my wife has been sick for a month with a really bad one. and two of three kids have had it off and on during the last couple of months. ive been lucky to coast past...
I guess I am a lucky guy, being married and having an understanding wife. Even during a flare, in pain, etc. I am good to go, so having a mate is not a problem for me. I would not want to be single...
I'm 5'10" tall, and weigh around 175 lbs. I was always very skinny (when I was 18 I was the same height but 120 lbs) but through consistent weight training and proper nutrition I have been able to...
Health care coverage is a bit different in each province. In my province (Manitoba) we have Pharma care which after a deductible is satisfied (it is approximately 5% or so of your gross family...
I can honestly say that it saved me a lot of money on laxatives....
I thought I would start a bit of a fun thread about where we all are from. So many new members that its nice to see what place everyone lives in. I'm in Canada. :)...
Thats interesting Tabitha. My GI prescribed me loperamide (immodium) and said it was ok to take it whenever i needed it. I dont use it a ton, but totally helps out with the minor flares that i get...
Yeah it sucks being sick. If you want to sleep longer try zopiclone. puts you out for about 10 hours of solid sleep. I use them off and on to help with my sleep issues. Oh, and a big hug of sympathy...
Thats awesome kav! Positive thinking can be such a powerful tool in our general health and fitness. Congratulations!...
Sorry to hear that you are having a rough time Dawn. Don't be too upset, sometimes we have to give in to the pred just to make it through....
thats awesome. glad that you are doing better. at a future point in your life you will look back and not even keep the bad memories, because you will be able to have moved on. :)...
i agree about the water....
training on an empty stomach is better for fat loss, because instead of using carbs for energy your body uses its fat stores (which leans you up). i started boxing a couple months ago, and the...
Alrighty! Here we go! I'm a 35 year old male. Married for almost 12 years, been with my wife for 17 years. We have three children, girl, boy, girl, 6, 3, and 6 months. I have two younger brothers,...
If it was me, I would go to the local Police Station and submit a police report for lost property. Then go to your doctor and show him the report you made and ask him if he will cover the lost meds....
Hey peeps, gonna be out of Canada for a couple of weeks and wont be online. Wishing you all happy healthy poops! :) Stay safe!...
My partner at work can't believe how bad I am. We can have both windows in the car open and be driving with a crosswind and he still complains. He said he might file a workers compensation...
Hello all. As some of you may or may not know, I had had a terrible late 2006/early 2007 culminating in a surgery and then 4 months of recovery. Well its been a long road, but I am BACK IN ACTION!...
Oh Bob, I wish that I could send you some of my strength right now. If only we could share when one is up and the other is down. Thoughts and prayers are with you my friend, and I wish you a speedy...
My folks are both 59 and my mom says they still do daily. I hope i am like that at that age too....
good times sister!...
i worked a ten hour night shift doing desk duty at work and had to hit the bathroom every twenty minutes and was blasting from the rear while vomiting into a garbage can. worst night ever. other then...
yeah thats one of the symptoms i get. i hate the pain, but ive actually gotten used to it. tylenol 3 has helped me in the past, but every time i ask for them i either feel like im asking for...
I think I get that same effect from breathing....
awesome. babies rock! very happy for you! :)...
My drive is the same now (at 35) as it was at 18. I am good to go day or night, flare or not, in fact even when i couldn't get out of bed on my own after my surgery last year I was still wanting it....
I drink about 2 and half litres a day of actual water and feel that i am adequately hydrated. I also sweat a lot at the gym and still think that this is enough...for me. :) I also drink several cups...
Better safe then sorry. I would get it checked....
I have suffered from insomnia all my life, and its gotten worse the last few years. I currently use zopiclone as a prescription med to get to sleep when i really am just too run down. its a cheap...
I am always tired, but just so used to doing things while exhausted I just keep pushing. 9 hours of sleep doesn't sound too bad to me given your activity level. You have a lot going on. :)...
Harpo, what Tabitha was politely reminding you of is a rule of the forum: 9. No posts of lengthy articles. Sharing information is allowed, but the forums are not to be used to publish articles. It is...
i almost never dream as far as i know....
ugh. sorry to hear that. no fun. :(...
It took me a few months to start to feel "normal" (what is normal?) after being on the prednisone. i was lucky, in that i actually felt quite good on the pred, but im sure if i had been on longer...
Weight training is very important. And taking in enough calcium. People (especially women) tend to neglect weight training in their exercise regimes and this is a big mistake. There are just too many...
I had the h.pylori last year and took a triple dose of antibiotics. i also was on prednisone. no side effects from the antibiotics, if anything i actually got out of my flare while on them. but i had...
