    Hemorrhoids

    Do any of you have problems with hemorrhoids and is this common for people with IBD? I have one and I've been putting Prep H on it. It is soooo uncomfortable. Sometimes I have a hard time falling asleep at night because it hurts so bad. I have problems with bleeding but I don't know if it's...

    Why don't others understand?!

    So today I had a family member who is very close to me basically say that I am faking my illness and need to go back to school and work, and that I can't possibly be so sick and unable to do it since my doctor's haven't found out what's wrong with me and I don't have a diagnosis. Most days I can...

    Don't know what to do anymore

    Hello everyone, long time, no talk! I still read the forum, although I never post anymore, mostly because I haven't had any news to discuss until now. I have still yet to be diagnosed. I just saw my third gastrologist on Thursday, and long story short, they still don't know what's wrong with...

    Endometriosis or IC with Crohn's?

    Does anyone else also have endo or interstitial cystitis? I just found out I have endo last week after having a laparoscopy. My gastro was thinking that the reason for my D and bleeding was due to endo on my bowels, because I would only flare on my period. I was hoping that was going to be it as...

    How did you cope with being diagnosed?

    I'm having a hard time coping with this. This is unusual for me, because, and not to sound really corny, I've overcome quite a bit in my life and never let it hold me down or get the best of me. But this is different. I've accepted that I'm going to have this the rest of my life, and there is...

    Nervous about colonoscopy and EGD

    Yesterday I was able to finally go the gastro's office. I really like my doctor; he's nice without being babying, he's straightforward, and he explained everything in great detail. Much better than my physician LOL! I'm feeling better about everything, but I'm really really nervous about having...

    My doctor sucks

    A few days ago I went to the doctor to get a referral, which the gastroenterology center near me requires. I've been seeing this doctor for about a year, so he knows the extent of my stomach problems. He has told me before that he doesn't think I have Crohn's or UC, however this was before I was...

    Anxiety

    Does anyone else suffer from anxiety? Ever since I had my first flare-up at school, I'm scared to leave the house at times, enough that it affects my school attendance. I don't travel far at all. I rarely go visit my mother and in-laws because I'm afraid of having to go to the bathroom while I'm...

    At what point to do you go to the hospital?

    I've heard that when you have Crohn's disease you end up going to the hospital for it quite often. I've only been to the hospital twice due to my Crohn's, once because I was severely vomiting for about a week, and another time because I was bleeding very heavily, and at that time I had no idea...

    Hello everyone---IBD newbie

    After being sick for several years, in January I was told that I may have Crohns or Ulcerative Colitis. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks I will have a definitive answer! I'm very fortunate in that I'm able to control my symptoms through dieting. The only time I get really, really sick...
