Did you have Covid? Still waiting for biopsy results?

Hi there and welcome to the forum! So many new treatments have come up to help us in the last 2 decades and research in the IBD field is really booming. I was diagnosed in 2001 and that was a complete different era with way more limits to treatments! Things have changed a lot since then and it...

Considering your symptoms (weight loss, diarrhoea, blood in stool, lower right abdominal pain etc) I think a colonoscopy remains a very important thing to do. Hopefully you get it before you start any other treatment that could mask possible information in your colon.

Great news!

Hi, Unfortunately no, there are no test to diagnose a dormant , in remission, crohn's. Its good that you have your past reports with you, I am hoping these will be enough. Any of the doctors who treated you back then still practicing and who could wrote a note for you for your new doctors...

Welcome and thanks for joining:) Glad to read you have been doing this fine! I am sure your experience will give some reassurance to people who are facing or undecided about the surgery! thanks a lot!

Red flag! I can only image what happens to someone who answers : ''yes I am disabled''... : No call back. Unless the job is with a special program encouraging people with disabilities to apply. (and this would be mentioned) So lets all be aware, discrimination is common, and illegal in job...

Im sorry for what you are going through, I can imagine its difficult time. Some symptoms make me think of migraine. A month in this state is a lot. I'd contact the GI asap. Discussion with primary doc could be useful too for an opinion. If the conclusion is that these symptoms are caused by your...

The info you got is probably from lesions in the terminal ileum, which is the final section of the small intestine. This part can be reached and checked with a colonoscopy (which offers the very best views, along with the biopsies taken during the scope). The ileum of the small bowel is indeed...

I know a person who wore a belt for inguinal hernia. Looking at google, there seem to be models for umbilical hernia too. Belts could help postpone the surgery. These are probably sold in pharmacies so a pharmacist could guide you with this. I am thinking about an evaluation by a...

what are the new neurological symptoms you experience since taking your medication? are they mild,moderate or severe?

If you keep healthy with medication, maybe you will be able to return to work. i too encourage you strongly to take your meds and to continue your medical appointments. If methotraxe alone was working for these 2 disease altogether already its a very good luck you have. keep going!

Yes this happens to me. Im glad you are getting a colonoscopy next week. maybe the disease is located in the lower part of the colon and/or rectum where budesonide is not best option.

Ok well hang on! Im hoping better results are coming:)

How is your daughter doing? Any help with the proctofoam? I hope she got some relief.
