    A GI Issue deja-vu....help!

    Hey guys.... So most of you won't know me, but I was a regular member of this forum years ago when I was, like you, frustrated and undiagnosed. I ended up diagnosed with Behcets disease, an autoimmune vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels) in December of 2012. Slowly but surely I...

    Malnutrition/Weight loss

    Hey Everyone! I haven't posted a thread in quite a while, so before I ask my question, let me catch you up. ;) I have finally been given a label for my condition. After my ANA came back positive, and I responded well to a prednisone trial, I have been diagnosed with "Mixed Connective Tissue...

    My Journey Continues

    Hey everyone, this is an update and a rant, all in the same post! My last thread, "Pill can results", ended with the pill cam coming back normal. I want to get a copy of photos from this, because it was really hard to believe that is was normal, but I haven't been able to get that done since I...

    Bone Loss?

    Hey everyone, I have noticed lately that I seem to be losing bone. I didn't notice much because I wasn't buying shoes, but since I got back from Germany I have replaced a lot of stuff and I noticed that my feet are much smaller than they used to be. I went from an 8.5 to a 6.5 in about a year...

    How do you deal with this AND everything else in life?

    Ok, so I am having some trouble with life at the moment. This is both a rant and a "looking for advice" thread. Just a little background...I have had symptoms of this illness (whatever this illness may be) since I was 15. It only started to get back about 15 months ago. When it got this bad, I...

    Pill Cam Results

    Well, if you got excited by seeing the title of this thread, I'm really sorry. The same thing happened to me when my GI emailed me this very title today! He didn't get around to looking at the 55,000 pictures. He leaves tomorrow, and his email to me says he wont be able to look through them...

    New turn in my road to diagnosis

    Hello everyone. I just wanted to give an update on how things are going for me, since I rarely do that outside of the undiagnosed club. Since my hospital visit I have had symptoms come and go, but overall my flares are getting longer and more severe. About a month ago I had an ulcer appear on...

    Update/Question

    Hello All, I wanted to let you guys know whats been going on with my "search for crohn's journey". I have told the undiagnosed club, but I wanted to share with all!

    What would you do?

    Ok, so if you don't know, two months ago I was rediagnosed with severe IBS. The GI who did this did not do any tests than blood tests, and my small bowel was never checked. Well, about a week and three days ago my pain started to get worse. It feels like a gaping open hole, middle left side...

    Best Husband Ever!

    So I was in a musical here on base the past couple weeks. We did Cabaret, and I was a kit kat girl, so I danced on stage in just underwear and a tank top. The first time we did it in our costumes, I was an idiot and just wore the costume underwear, not my own underneath. Of course, I had an...

    Update

    Well, like every doctors appointment I've had, this one left me confused and disappointed. I went to a new GP at the clinic on base, because I wanted a second opinion on my options. Well, this one ripped me apart it seemed. She said that most people with depression problems feel like they have...
