    Low Grade Fever

    Every afternoon for about a month and a half now, my temperature goes up to about 99.6. It seems to happen around 3:30 p.m. without fail. My normal temperature runs low (about 97.7). When it gets up to 99, I start feeling very tired and unwell. Does anyone else have this problem? I just had...

    Humira and the Flu

    Just curious, has anyone come down with the flu since being on Humira? I've been taking Humira for 2.5 years and recently came down with two strains of the flu at the same time. One of the strains was even covered by the flu shot. Anyway, I'm now having issues with horrible post-flu fatigue...

    Flaring and "Head" Issues

    Does anyone feel like their head is fuzzy during a flare? I'm pretty sure that I'm flaring and for the past two days, I've had a dull headache, my brain feels fuzzy and my eyes are tired. It's not a lot of fun.

    Can anyone tell me how long I may be out of work after resection surgery and if all resection surgeries require an ostomy bag? Thank you!

    Uceris

    Has anyone tried Uceris? If so, I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts. I recently had a bowel obstruction, so my doctor wants to try it along with Humira. Thanks!

    Pentasa and Skin Problems

    Has anyone had trouble with rashes or reddening of the skin while on Pentasa? I've been on it for many years and recently started breaking out in a rash. I was on Prednisone for a bit and the rash got better, but flared up as soon as I stopped taking it. The rash is on my legs and arms. All...

    Should I get a flu shot?

    Hello everyone. I just started Humira on 9/6 (first loading dose) and I was wondering if I should be in any great hurry to get a flu shot? Thanks.

    6-MP and Nausea??

    Hi everyone! I'm going on week 3 of taking 50 mg. of 6-MP and have been very nauseated this week. The nausea comes in waves. I also have a terrible metallic taste in my mouth and nothing tastes like it used to. Does anyone else experience those symptoms? If the nausea continues, I'm not...

    Abdominal Itching

    Does anyone experience an intense abdominal itching that feels like it's coming from the inside out? I've been experiencing that for about a week and am wondering if it's Crohn's related. Thanks.

    C Diff diagnosis

    Crohn's flare and bladder symptoms

    Just curious if anyone else notices an increased urge to urinate when having a Crohn's flare? I can definitely tell a difference when I'm flaring. It almost feels like a bladder infection, but I know it's not because of the other symptoms I have that go along with Crohn's. Any feedback would...

    The Calm Before the Storm

    Just wondering if anyone notices feeling really well right before a flare? I've noticed that I have an extra burst of energy and feel extraordinarily well a day or two before a flare and then I crash and wind up sick as a dog and can't get out of bed for a day or two. I would love hearing from...

    Hemorrhoids

    Does anyone have problems with hemorrhoids? If so, what can you recommend to help with the pain? I was told by a doctor many years ago that Crohn's patients can't use Preparation H; however, a pharmacist told me today that you can. I'm confused. Thanks!
