Ok so this is sort of an update/WTH is going on kind of post. I just got married to my boyfriend of 4 years :soledance: and am now on his insurance. So I had to get a PCP and a new GI and then they wanted me to see a Urologist as well because I'm having some issues such as incontinence , pain...

Ok so I just went to the doctor yesterday, and was supposed to go on Humira, but now they are holding off. The x-ray of my lungs showed 2 nodules in my lower right lung(just below my breast) and so now they want me to have a CT scan this next week. Then I will go back in to see my doctor for the...

Bravo!

You poor dears! Will keep you and Rowan in my thoughts and prayers!:kiss:

So sorry to hear about your current plight ChrisnSteph1022. Sounds like you are really going through it, but hopefully you will be better soon! I had a major car accident(hit from behind) last year and it was horrible not being able to get around, especially the potty. I'm lucky I have an...

:( Sorry to hear the new med isn't doing the trick! I hope they find something that works for you soon! HUGS!

I have had bowel issues most of my life. The big D mostly, fevers, and cramps. Everyone thought that I had a sensitive stomach and would catch tummy viruses often 4-5 times a year. They would last longer than most people but, we thought it was "normal" for me since everyone is different and I am...

Thanks Terriernut, Hope you go in remission soon. It is true that the spread of my Crohn's is quite unfair, but I shall perservere and overcome. I will have to come check out the stoma forum as well! Thanks again!

How insufferably inconsiderate and cruel! I have flown several times since having my ostomy surgery and would never think of putting my med supplies under the plane! Hope we get lots of signatures!

Thanks Simon, Yes I remember the days of pain and strain on the "john", I did thankfully have a full abdominal collectomy with a procto-collectomy and an ileostomy in 1997. As most here I had symptoms of Crohn's most of my life but wasn't diagnosed till I was 23(1993). So now the disease is in...

HMMM, have never heard of Tysabri, what kind of drug is it?

Thanks Manzy! Have to say, what a beautiful little girl! So Sorry to hear that you have never been in remission, I had that same problem until I had my whole colon and rectum removed with a permanent ileostomy. Not saying that is the cure-all but I was desperate for relief. Hope you won't...

Thanks Bumble Bee for the positive thoughts, I'm not normally so down, but after being in remission for so long then having to go through all of this all over again it can be a bit over-whelming. Not that I think I deserve to be any different than anyone else here battling with this disease I...

I'm still pretty new here and so am still getting the hang of stuff here. Wanted to post an update since I haven't been on here in awhile. My Crohn's has been active so I haven't really been up to par :stinks: Anywho, I went to my G.I. yesterday and had a long discussion about my symptoms and...

I just recently had a EGD/Colonoscopy and as I have an ileostomy I eat a light breakfast(egg and toast) the day of prep and then broth/jello rest of the day. Started prep about 5pm and was done pretty quickly. Only had to drink 32 oz of the prep which was a blessing(nasty stuff). Good Luck on...

Hey Bella_Sky, I'm new here, but have been dealing with Crohn's for 20 years. I also had female trouble and thought as you did that it was just my gut until I had my colon removed and went into remission and the pain every month wasn't a flare. I had a bad relationship when I was diagnosed and...

Hmmmm I don't have any idea about what levels they were when they tested in October and then again in late Feb., and it will be June before I see that G.I. again. But I will get some extra B12 today so that I can start to feel somewhat normal. Thanks for the advice. How much Vitamin D should I...

Multivitamin-Alive Women's Energy(has fruits and veggies in it)has 1,000 IU of D, 6 mg of B6 and 18mcg of B12 also contains B1,2 &3 Then I supplement with Nature Made B-complex W/vitamin C Nature Made Calcium 600mg W/Vitamin D3 200 IU 2xdaily

Thanks David..They said vitamin B6 &12, vitamin D, potassium, iron, and all the nutrients you would get from multivitamins. I am currently taking all of the above, but they make my tummy hurt so it is hard to eat. Also had a blood transfusion while in the hospital 4 Pints, because I had lost...
