Just had my biopsy today. This is my second, since they didn't remove enough the last time round. I have to disagree on the pain thing. I find this no worse then going to the dentist. I had some...
Hi Morph, Try not to scare yourself. Your symptoms can be caused by any number of things, and even if it does turn out to be crohns - it isn't a death sentance. Most people live almost normal and...
Thanks all! I am going to give it the day today, and if it doesn't give by tomorrow morning I will call my doctor. The laxitive didn't do any good at all and all that came out was hot air! hehe... I...
oh.. and my stomach is kinda upset as well. No vomiting tho......
No pain tonight before the laxitives, but I have had this pain from time to time before. No diarreah either, jut formed and very thin stool... Thanks.....
Hi guys, For the past 2-3 weeks I have hardly been able to pass any stool. I go 4-5 times a day, but only leave a minimal amount of stool in the toilet each time. I am not diagnosed with anything...
Hey Jen, I was jut reading this post: http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=17&m=1256074 by Glutengirl. She says in this post that she gets the swelling that you mention in this...
Hi all, I have been sick with what they think might be colitis (not diagnosed) for 3 years now. about 10 years ago my ankle started bothering me. Never ached when I was sitting, but on movement it...
Hi, I was just wondering if anyone here has had a minty/menthol sensation in the mouth/nose/throat before. It might even be better to describe it as a feeling of breathing in vapor. The past few...
Thanks or the qucik reply Erin! Mine is actually hard to see unless you look at my thumb from the front. I thought it might be tough skin, but I have been at home sick for months now and I have done...
I just noticed a skin colored bump on the side of my thumb (right by the joint). Just wondering how these nodules feel to touch. Anyone?...
You say nothing about what kind of pain you have, but I figured I would let you know about Ankylosing spondylitis in any case... You can read about it here:...
I may have mild crohns, but I have wild gas. I just gave up trying to find out what the cause is. Every time I think I know, my intestines prove me wrong... For some odd reason it is mostly odorless....
Sherry, I am in the exact same situation as you are. My pain has gotten more and more severe. Both Ides and Keah have the same thing and know a great deal about joint/tendon problems that go with...
Hi Ides! Thank you so much for your reply. I keep thinking that my crohn's (if thats what it is) has to be secondary to the joint pain. I can actually remember the first time I had pain in the sacro...
Just bumping......
Hi.. I know the both of you have arthritis along with crohns and hoping you might be able to clear up a few things for me. In the past year I have had bouts of what I am almost sure is enthesitis,...
I had a bad case of that! I couldn't walk at all from the pain and I turned out to be low on vitamin D. Pia...
Are any of you HLA-B27 positive?...
Wow... do I relate to your story Keah! I haven't had this since childhood, but it started in 2000 and that would be about 6 years before I found out about Crohns. I have a very mild case of it (so...
Marie... Thank you so much for the link to kickas.org. I am starting to realize that I most likely am looking at AS. Pains started in my ankles, then knees some months later. This kept up for about a...
Wondering if anyone here has AS. I am having serious pain all over, butt included! My pain started long before I ever knew of crohns and has been getting worse each and every year. It's gotten to the...
My joint/tendon/ligament pain started before I knew I had anything going on in my intestines. That was in 2000 and I was 35. My ankle was the first joint that acted up. I still have it too. Feels...
Thanks... PB.. Do you remember how long it would last?...
The front part of the roof of my mouth seems to be swollen (the hard palate). It hurts and when I used a mirror to look at it, I could see a small round lump. I was just wondering if anyone knows if...
Hi, I have been having some issues like getting real tired after eating breakfast. It doesn't happen every day, but more often then not. I also have a number of other symptoms like excessive thirst...
Hi, I just replied to the same question in the Arthritis forum. Vit. D is connected to a few other hormones and taking supplments can mask the true values of those hormones....
Just want to let you know that you should have your PTH and Calcium levels checked before starting Vit. D supplements. The three are all connected to each other and taking supplements of vitamin D...
I just started reading about the PR. It seems that you can actually have reoccouring bouts of it and that it doesn't always cause swelling. I did find a forum, so I'm getting some good info from...
Do any of you have Palindromic Rheumatism??...
Hi, I have been having alot of joint pain lately and was wondering if anyone could be kind enough to describe the kind of pain they have with their IBD. My pain is sharp and short-lived. It usually...
Hi, I've been sick with various symptoms for the past year or so. Diagnosed with hypothyroidism, IBD, and high blood pressure. One of my symptoms is joint pain... well at least I think its joint...
ok.. it's time for her to find a new doctor... Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulate the production of estrogen in the ovaries. FSH and LH and others are produced...
Thank you all for your replies... I am so NOT looking forward to this. I read the letter again and it says prep! Think I am going to give them a call just to make sure... The prep is the worst part...
Your not alone... :)...
Hi guys... Haven't been here for a while and whatever sort of IBD I have is mild. I am going to have a SBFT soon tho. My GI wants to see if I have any inflammation to support the Crohn's theory....
Hi Ducky, I was on Asacol, but since my Chrons is so mild I am off them at the moment. I don't see any redness, and I dont feel any heat coming from the joints that are affected. I have been to a...
Hi, In the past few weeks I have been having "attacks" in multiple parts of my body. My toes ache and my fingers feel like they are affected by tendonitis. (my middle finger is swollen). I have...
Hi Ann, I wish I could answer your question, but my mom has passed away and to be honest I dont remember what kind of tests they ran. She was on meds, so they were pretty sure she had the parkinsons....
Ann, I am so sorry that you are going through all this. I wish from the very bottom of my heart that I could help you in some way. I have multiple symptoms as well, but not nearly as severe as you. I...
I am also subclinical. I have been hypo for about 6 months now. My symptoms started when my TSH was only 2,4 ( with 0,8 - 4,5 being normal range at my lab) I felt awful! In my case tho, meds took...
Hey Box, I'm not a doctor, but I am having alot of issues going on myself. I have alot of symptoms, but the symptom that caused me to look for help was diarreah. They did a colonscopy and found ulcer...
Your cortisol deficency is causing most of your symptoms; fatigue, weight loss, waking up feeling like your hung over and so on. Low cortisol causes fatigue, weight loss, inability to fight stress,...
Hi all, I am currently undergoing lots of tests for both this and that. The doctors have found ulcers in my colon and they think I have either UC or Crohn's. I hav also been diagnosed with...
Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has dry eyes. If so have you noticed that your eyes tend to feel dry or uncomfortable when your GERD is acting up? I have found out that my eyes dry out and I get a...
Ok.. I am a BIG BABY , and I was soooo scared of having my upper scope. The first thing I told my doctor when I got into his office was how scared I was and that I wanted to be sedated. He just...
I have had a bad case of that. Not only did my tounge burn, but so did my whole upper mouth. In fact my whole upper mouth was swollen. It went away on its own after about a week or so. I havent had...
Hi Freewill... Babz has already given you lots of great advise. If you have been diagnosed and know that no underlying illness/disease is causing your arthritis, then all is well. I just wanted to...
Babz... Frustrated is how you feel when you have all these symptoms. Not to talk about the fact that your whole body is probably screaming and telling you that there is something more going on. And...
Done, Iris.....
