Sedation doest not always work during a colonoscopy. In my experience, about 1 in 3 or 4 scopes were extremely painful. Even in people with healthy colon they can be painful.

Im sorry you had to go through that stress and age related discomfort the social worker put you in. Things like that should not happen. Always remember people like you who have a 40+ year experience can teach about IBD to young doctors and especially to social workers;) Your story shows how we...

Thanks a lot Jo-mom. Hopefully I'll have a short experience just like you did. I do have tea tree at home and thought of trying it too. I'll try it tonight!

Thank you very much both for your responses:) I reached the Humira nurse today. She said she has had few cases of skin problems with Humira, but nothing I like describe around the eyes. She told me to contact my GI. I have searched the web and I have seen a Dr's web site with photos of...

Hi Spacedog666, Did your eye skin issue cleared out? What happened? Was it Humira? I am currently dealing with skin issues around both my eyes too, since a month or so, suspecting a Humira reaction. Both eyes at the same time. No new skin product, I dont use any makeup either. been on Humira for...

You started at what dose of prednisone 2 months ago?

The key is to go see IBD nutrionnist at the hospital. If she doesnt work in teams with the GI, you will probably get only general mainstream advices on general health habits.

Hi and welcome to the Forum! I am on Humira too and it works really well for me. It also kicked very fast in my case. Hope it works well for you too!

Did you try protofoam once or twice /day? You can ask your Dr for twice a day.

Hi and welcome to the forum! I use an air frier too. I use it for kale chips mostly 😋 Sometimes for a mix of colored peppers and onions. Tomorrow, I am trying fried chickpeas! Im going to trying something such as (without the sugar) : https://sweetpeasandsaffron.com/crispy-air-fryer-chickpeas/...

Great that you can ask your GP for a fecal calpro! I know some people who have struggled getting a diagnosis because of periods of remissions and flares. Anybody who suspects an IBD should ideally have a scope when symptoms are present. Sometimes even with no symptoms, a scope can catch a mild...

Hi Mike and welcome. Most people get a colonoscopy when they have more indicators. Depending on your coverage and where you live, GI practice and care can greatly differ. Let's say you have a proactive and cautious doctor compared to most people around the world. It is true the chances are much...

Hi and welcome to the forum. Fecal calprotectine is an easy test that can reveal a lot. Hope you can have access to another test soon and if the number is high again, I hope you get a colonoscopy with biopsies this time, to clarify whats going on in your bowels. I would do the calpro and scoping...

I already had one small semi-internal hemorrhoid size of a pea and I could see it with a mirror when I was forcing its way out.

no, no fever during my sinus infection. Mine was visible on one side of sinus under x-ray.

Yes purified or demineralized water, thats what I am using when needed. Its not expensive. I was using the extra strength salt sachets by NeilMeds in the pot. Really bend your head in the sink when you do the procedure and go very gently when blowing your nose, this will help for the irritation...

Definately possible. I have disease in the rectum, UC type of inflammation. The mucus and the blood form and accumulate alone in the rectum in the inflammatory process, when there is disease activity. Passing gaz for instance, several times a day, can become a challenge when disease is active in...
