Thank you everyone who replied to me. I am feeling much better about the who issue this morning. Seems in the past all I have heard is how terrible prednisone is, the awful side effects etc etc but...
Thank you David. I have been reading a few other threads on here tonight and one really hit home with me. Made me realize that things could be away worse and that I should be looking for the bright...
I take the 30 mg/day for 2 weeks and then see my dr. He said he would start a taper than down to 25 mg/day. I know that I am just feeling sorry for myself tonight. Hopefully in the morning I will...
I had my appt with my doctor today and he said the P word - I never wanted to hear to word prednisone come out of his mouth. In the past I have tried Salofalk (didn't have much improvement on it),...
I understand why the protocol has to be followed and I understand that it is for my safety as well as the safety of others who may get the drug in the future. The impatience comes from feeling so...
Thank you Nanners....
My life, healthwise, seems to be upside down right now. I am going to be starting on a study drug - just going through all the protocol that has to be done prior to the first treatment. I was on...
" taking folic acid. I was told that taking it really helps with the nasty side effects of metho injections. I started on it right away and for the first month I had periods of mild just not feeling...
Hi, my name is Pat. I posted on a different forum and Kitt was nice enough to mention this forum to me and suggest that I should visit here. Right now I would say that the major source of anxiety and...
I am so sorry you are going through all this. I hope you get your scope as scheduled! Going through the prep and then getting cancelled would have me livid!...
Thanks for your reply and I will be checking out the anxiety and panic forum for sure. When my husband had the angiogram that showed he needed his triple bypass in 2002 he was ruled out for stents....
Yes, it was the scope sterilizer that was down. We don't have an annual deductible so $wise it doesn't matter if it is in Dec or Jan. Normally I would ask to be put on a cancellation list, but being...
I was suppose to have my scope/dialation yesterday but because of problems with the machine I got cancelled and rescheduled to Jan 13th. Because they didn't know if the machine just might be up and...
Intersting answers to the question. I have been living with Crohn's since 1990. In 1990 I had a resection and basically have never had a formed BM since that time. Since the D was my only symptom I...
I am wondering if anyone else suffers from this? By doing research online this is what I think my dh is going through and we are getting desperate for something that might relieve his symptoms...
I guess when my doctor said he was doing another scope/dilation ASAP he really meant it. The hospital just phoned to say they want me to come in on December 9th for the colonoscopy/dialation under...
Thanks Nanners. I am not sure if he would give me a general or not. Also not sure if I really want the general. Yes it does hurt but it doesn't last that long and I do get to go home quickly. I am...
Sorry you are feeling so badly. Feel better soon....
Latest scope was nasty, but I already new that. Have a stricture higher up which can not be dialated the traditional way so have to go in for another scope but done under xray. This is totally new to...
Hi there, and thank you for the welcome. I wasn't given the option of medication after my surgery. They did the resection, then they talked to me about diet and how each person is different and it...
I am so thankful that I have found this forum. I have spent quite some time reading through old posts and they have really given me some insight and some good information. I have an appointment with...
My doctor started me on injectable Methotrexate in March of this year. He said that we were going this route in order to try to get me off of endocort. He also stated that we would start with...
