    So embarrassed with no easy way out

    Hi guys, I could really use some support right now. I'm a nurse and work the night shift with only one other nurse, so needless to say any long absences from the floor are very noticed. I'm at work tonight and was feeling wonderful! In fact, I still feel good; but I'm hiding in The laundry...

    I can't seem to stay awake; Even when my kids are home!

    Hi everyone! To give a little background, I was diagnosed in 2010 and am currently taking, prednisone, Imuran, Humira, Pentasa, and Lasix in an effort to get my CD to finally go into remission. I think it's working too because I definitely feel better now than I have in a very long time. My...

    Headaches on Imuran?

    Hi guys! I'm curious if anyone else has noticed headaches while taking Imuran? I just started it yesterday and I'm taking 200mg a day. Yesterday I did t notice any side effects at all, but now today I have this slight headache. It's more annoying than painful, but it would be nice to not have...

    When was your child diagnosed and what led to it?

    Hi everyone! I was diagnosed with CD in 2010 a few months after the birth of my first son. Now I'm pretty familiar with my disease, but I'm becoming more concerned about my son. I've spoken a little bit about it to my doctors when we go but no one seems to take me seriously at all. I do not want...

    Blood in your stool; what do you do?

    Hi guys! I just came back from a not so wonderful family vacation and I know I've got another bleed. Usually I bleed from low enough in the colon that the blood is still red and recognizable. This time however, it must be from much higher up because the stools are black and hard. I'm expecting...

    Delaying new meds to continue breastfeeding?

    Hi everyone! I'm feeling sort if stuck and need a little advice and support. There really isn't anyone in my area that I know, or has come forward, as having Crohn's and so sometimes it can be difficult to find knowledgable advice. My specialist is four hours away, and our docs here are...

    Does anyone else feel sick ALL the time?

    Hi guys, I'm new here and I'm hoping that some of you can give me some answers. Since my diagnosis with Crohn's two months ago I seem to be coming down with one thing after another. Three weeks after diagnosis, I contracted C.Diff. As soon as I got over that, I ended up with a yeast infection...

    Hi everyone! Im new to the site and new to Crohn's as well. For me it all started when i was 19 and started noticing knee pain.
