    Coming off Aza

    Hi, everyone I haven't been on here for a while and I've generally been doing ok. In fact, probably just had my best year for ages. So, after being on aza for about 7 years my consultant has decided to try me coming off the drugs. I'm dropping the dose every three months starting now with...

    Re-introducing Agent X20

    Haven't been on the forum for a long time and I recently got a little email reminding me that you're all still here. So I thought I'd have a look at how everyone is getting on. A few re-introduction details: I've had Crohns for over 40 years. It feels like I've got off quite lightly (fingers...

    Agent is back

    I'm just re-introducing myself here and having a little catch-up. I was made redundant in 2010... and to be perfectly honest... my health has been much better since then. The last year at work was horrendously stressful and I've never looked back. One of the reasons I've hardly posted since is...

    Agent update

    Hi everyone I haven't really been far away, I've been logging in most days but not posting much. Been meaning to post an update, particularly about work-related issues for a while, but now seems to be the best time to do it. I was made redundant a while ago, but with the proviso that I had to...

    I've got IBS

    Been having a bit of a flare for the last six weeks and had a scheduled visit to see my consultant yesterday. That was probably a good thing, but I was a bit nervous as I didn't want to end up taking any more drugs or having to have any invasive tests done It wasn't my usual consultant, which...

    Liver problems

    My wife's nephew has had some recent health issues. He was quite a healthy guy in his 20s, but recently lost a lot of weight, constant D, passing blood. Sound familiar? At first the doctors were looking for cancer, but now they're thinking that he has severe crohns and his entire colon is badly...

    Orthodontic treatment

    I've read the recent threads on mouth ulcers... but I don't want to hijack anything, so I've set up a new thread This is something I'm genuinely undecided on, so I might as well get some opinions from you lot :) At the age of 53 (doesn't time fly) I've been thinking of getting some teeth...

    Dental issues

    Just thought I'd run this one by you all... see if anyone else had anything like this. I had to have a tooth out a week ago (very annoying to lose one after 52 years)! The dentist said I shouldn't have much of a problem, but I may get something known as "dry socket" which can be very painful...

    Constipated!

    Can you believe it? Seems to be a bit of a theme lately... it builds up during the week while I'm at work, then seems to resolve itself over the weekend, usually painfully and in a rather unpleasant fashion! Had a lot of trouble with a barium x-ray about 6 months ago, as even the laxatives and...

    Hi everyone!

    Another newbie here! There's an amazing variety of experiences and a lot of good advice and support on this forum. I'm hoping to make a bit more sense of everything, even though I was diagnosed a long time ago. I was diagnosed in 1972 when I was 16, but I always felt I had a relatively easy time...
