Hi, considering the severity of the main CD episode you got, I agree too that it is safer to be on a treatment. You are indeed in a delicate situation on choosing about doubling the current Humira or going on Entyvio, with the cancers going on. Regarding possible side effects, Entyvio is known...

Hi and welcome! I have searched the litterature about Keto and Crohn's and I didnt find anything. In the last 5 years or so, a lot of interest for diets research have been ongoing for IBD. Results are coming out slowly. If you want to start with something not too difficult, I'd suggest the...

Dont blame yourself for selfish idiocy. Take it this way instead: Its better to know now than 2 or 10 years after marriage and kids who is selfish and who is not a good person for a life partner, a true friend, or a true lover. People with heart, empathy and intelligence all combined will never...

Are you feeling any better? maybe a dentist could help you. I recently had an episode of ear ache lasting a few days, going on and off. Luckely, I understood the problem: it was coming from my pillow while sleeping. It was too hard and pressing my ear. They call it ''Pillow otalgia''. I changed...

Hi there, I am so sorry about your issues and i understand all your concerns. I wish i could give inputs on ileostomy but I dont have much info aside that a J-Pouch is not an option if the rectum is diseased. I have already asked my GI about it just out of curiosity and he told me that this...

Hi and welcome to the forum, Im wondering if your disease is fully under control now? Have you been declared in remission? Those sweats, could they be related to fever, which can be a CD symptom of disease activity? Only a colonoscopy with biopsy can confirm a remission. Improvement of clinical...

Oh yeah, definately and unfortunately. For oral prednisone, in my first years of disease, 30mg would put me in remission. For the same disease activity, years later, it had to be upped to 40 and even 50mg twice. And now even at this dosage, it takes more time for it to kick in and for me to...

Hi crohnsinct, I'm sorry to hear about your daughter ongoing struggles. I try to remember correctly this question I already asked my GI about using cortisone rectal therapy for the long term, if this was possible or if this would be detrimental to the colon. To my best recollection, I think the...

I can only imagine how many women, even if this is a rare symptom of the disease, can suffer in silence or without answers. Some of the most common symptoms of vulval CD are itching, swelling and soreness of the vulva. These symptoms could be easily self- doctor- misdiagnosed as benign...

Good luck with colonoscopy! Hopefully Humira will work well for you. I am on it too since about 9 months. Its not perfect remedy yet for me, but Im doing pretty good:)
