Hi Kate Yes I have to go back on the 25th July at the same time 10am it does not effect my holiday thank goodness. I was told by the IBD nurse that while I have the spots I can give someone chickenpox as it is the same virus. Wild horses would not stop me from this holiday as both my husband and...

Sunny here again today yes it is better than a kick up the arse with a steel toe boot cmack I am so jealous of you guys who have wild life near to where you live I only have concrete and traffic. I think that is why I am so grumpy what do you think?

Merv to us poms that is warm I think at the mo we around 15c and sunny which is just nice for me as I don't like really hot weather it makes me irritable but I am a grumpy old women anyway lol

Thank you for that Lisa I know everyone can get different symptoms that is why it can be so frustrating.

Thanks I am a little disappointed as I have waited six months for an appointment but better safe than sorry don't want to pass this on it is quite painful at the moment.

Hi miaxochi I am sure the capsule Endoscopy will answer a lot of questions for you. I think it is better than a normal endoscopy not as invasive for a start yes you have to take bowel prep and fast for a few hours but the results will be a lot more clear. I have mine at the end of July hope all...

Hi All The weather so far today cloudy with a chance of meat balls (always wanted to say that) I hope the wind has calmed down Merv it can get very tricky when out and about lol.

Hi All The weather in the north has not been as hot as the south but I have enjoyed it. Sunday it has gone cooler with some rain. I am still waiting for a good thunder storm but alas to no avail. I am sorry to hear what is going on at your end Bufford I bet it is lovely seeing the wild life why...

Hi All The capsule Endoscopy has been cancelled I have shingles the IBD nurse has said I am still contagious at the moment. I will go back on the 25th July instead.

Thank you for that I do get a lot of itching and it can get sore but not as bad as you.

Hi and welcome to the forum I do agree with you that doctors don't seem to acknowledge that us Crohnies can get other infections that are inflammatory related. I have a face rash that flares now and again the GP does not think it is related just gives me cream to use. I don't think doctors know...

Thanks to you both for your good wishes. I have had to go to the doctors been told I have shingles. I have the burning itch on my right shoulder the rash is sensitive to touch. I just hope things clear up a little for next week.

Hope all goes well with the scope Ron big hugs sent your way.

We are back to the rain again but not cold I am like you spooky where has the last six months gone, Never mind it will soon be Christmas (groan).

Hi Kate I know that polyps are sometimes found when a colonoscopy is done so I don't think you are strange everyone with crohns has different outcomes it is a gift that keep on giving Like you say wait till August and see what comes back sending you hugs

Hi Kate I hope you are feeling better also. I am having a capsule endoscopy on the 4th July hope to get some answers then. My husband and I are going on holiday at the end of July hope nothing gets in the way of that. First holiday in five years so keep your fingers crossed for me😁

Hi All A little rain this morning but blue sky at the moment. Venturing out later hope it stays dry.
