HI and welcome. IM sorry about what you are going through. What were the thoughts of the drs you met considering clean imaging and tests? Any mentionned possible dyspepsia? This is a very common condition of GI upper track, just like irritable bowel syndrome is for lower GI track...

I find this study to be highly questionnable and honnestly to the point of being unethical. Mainly, the diet protocol really made me unhappy: ''Participants randomly assigned to the control diet (referred to hereafter as the high-meat group) were instructed to follow their usual diet with the...

OMG! what a bad experience! completly ridiculous this guy!!! You'll find a better one for sure! In my patient career, I got two doctors who were terrible. One rhuemy and one ENT. Both appeared fine at the begining, but bad surprises were coming in terms of personality and attitude. I ran away...

Hi, yes polyps are a different thing. Most are harmless, but since some can develop into cancer over time, its safer to remove them when found during a scope. These polyps can be found in healthy and IBD patients. However, IBD patients are at increased risks of colonic cancer and that is one of...

Hi there and welcome to the forum. Your new doctor has a another impression on your disease but he saw your insides only once. With time, he will be able to have a clearer picture and opinion. CD and UC can sometimes be hard to diagnosed precisely. I have been such a case. I exhibit features of...

That is super! Congrats! Definitely worth fighting for our rights, every time.

Thank you guys for your replies. Got a call from my nurse today. the calpro 900 confirmed my relapse (quite surprised with this very high number) and my Humira level is very good at 30. GI wants to wait another 3 months to see how it goes and tells me not to discourage, that Humira can take...

Thats very generous of you, but not a good idea for your own health. Your system is in peace right now and you dont want to risk awaking the beast with an important surgery. Our kidneys filters a lot and also our medication. I think we need both of them for our journey with IBD, as you are still...

Hi Betty and welcome. Im sorry about your issues. before my Crohn's diagnosis, I had the same thought as you are having: ''I have a parasite''. Seems like a common thought when we have GI issues! Considering your symtoms, it is true a medical visit is important. Fonctional issue such as...

I think that if the thinking of the GI is to wait months to give a chance to Humira, it should be in combo with a kick therapy. Theres no point of suffering or risking aggravating his condition imo. We dont like steroids, but what about a course of ENN? has your son already tried it in the past...

Im sorry for this diagnosis. My father suffers from this in both knees since about 15 years. he is 75. He has seen a rhuemy and they cant do nothing about this condition except recommending acetominofen (Tylenol), injecting cortisone or a lubricant fluid in the knees , such as Synvisc, every six...

Thanks for the info Cucurbita. Im sorry about your hospital stay and flare and I hope you are feeling better now. I read in another thread of yours that you were on a course of EEN last month. What happened so that you flared again? EEN did not work well?

Thank you very much! I will call back the nurse and suggest those labs and calpro as a preparation. My next injection is in 11 days.

Thx very much guys for your replies. I called my IBD nurse. GI is on a leave from work :( Will probably be back in August... There's another GI taking patients in the meantime, but the nurse and I have agreed that I would take cortison enemas for a couple of weeks and wait to see my GI when he...

Hey guys, I entered full remission very rapidly in last January fallowing my first shots of Humira. Unfortunately, since a week, I notice a return of symptoms and I can now confirm its a flare in the rectum again. I will call my IBD team leater today to let them know. I have read Humira can be...

Hi ThinkPink. I so hope for you you find a way to open up to that nice manager at your job. If you like your job and would like to keep it, its best you open up. Otherwise you can imagine the same issue could come again at any new job. Maybe you could have a Dr's note to help bring the...

Hi there. Im with all the others on this. I would abstain. The risk to hurt yourself is quite high in my opinion, especially you have a history of complication in the anal region. Our tissues are more fragile than healthy people, even if on remission. Anal intercourse would put a big stress on...

Hi Adam and welcome to the forum:) You will find a great community here! Lots of members have been around for years here to support and get support. This forum is truly is great place and I hope you will continue to grace us with you presence and contribution, as you are quite well articulate...

Yes definately contact the care support, but I would contact the one you can use right now in the US. I guess the canadian site wont be able to help until you have the remicade prescription given to them by a Canadian GI doctor. I dont think they would make a move without that. Do you have an...

Im so sorry for your son Happy. If I remember correct, you used to take enteral liquid diets right? Would your son be willing to try a course to see if his health improuves with that? -Just an idea!
