Thank you, the doctors were told to check my CRP's so when they came back and told me they were average, I questioned my WBC count and also my iron levels, and they just said "oh we were just told to look at your CRP's but your WBC count was quite high." So just a quick update, my mum spoke to...

really? Well I am taking azathioprine and remicade/infliximab which the 2 put together are known to cause pancreatitis so I wouldn't be surprised if it was that. Just out of interest, how were you DX with pancreatitis and how was it treated?

Okay, because I noticed it a couple of hours ago and I immediately thought "hmm this is strange" and then it's just been getting a fair bit worse, and it's just made me think that perhaps it could be to do with all my Crohn's symptoms or something along the lines of that, I'll have to tell my...

Just thought I'd add, over the past few hours or so I've been feeling a lot of pain in the kidney sort of area on the left side of my back, could this have anything to do with my crohn's?

Thank you for your reply. I understand what they're thinking, and I often think that because Crohn's isn't the only condition affecting me (I have arthritis in my hands and hip, so cannot walk without an aid, and I also have severe lung problems and stuff), my parents are almost in denial, they...

Hi, so I'm 15.5 and am a female who's had Crohn's since I was 9. I have flare-up's every four months or so. Right now I'm having a severe flare-up and haven't been to school for 2 weeks, and have been ill for 3 weeks. Over this period of time I haven't eaten or drank barely anything, yet I...

Nope, fortunately for me, no school!

Exactly! Well my mum has noticed to some extent how bad my lungs are getting and said she wouldn't send me to school anyway. I know this is a Crohn's forum so I hope I don't get in trouble for bringing up my lungs however, it's just gotten so difficult to breathe today. I've felt as though my...

Hahaha, my parents will visit me and then complain about me being grumpy when they visit- well I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like people coming into your hospital room and moving all your stuff, plus I don't feel good when Im in there! :) Generally a half-day would be possible however, my school...

Well you see, we really have no clue! There is a chance I could have Crohn's in my lungs, its very rare but could easily be the case. I'm sure there will somehow be a link between the two. Exactly, and it would make it a heck of a lot easier as it would save the trips to-and-from the hospital...

Exactly! I am however quite worried about the pulmonary side of things as I have lost a further 19% of my lung capacity, therefore it if is not raised in the next week, I will be admitted and probably put on oxygen for a while in hospital. Then meanwhile I guess I can also have my crohns fixed...

GEC, I wasn't admitted to the hospital but very soon I'll be having an MRI or my stomach (MRE) and a colonoscopy/endoscopy to show my disease in action. However, I am being admitted next Wednesday by my pulmonary doc if my lung function does not improve (it never does!). So hopefully they'll do...

Yeah, they are just, well you know how friends are, often they show their true colours. I don't get invited out anymore on weekends or anything and it's just so upsetting. I personally think they are embarrassed to be out with me because I am just such a wreck, medically and I'm a cripple. I...

Yes, I'm still on Remicade and have been for about 4 years. Generally when I am admitted to the hospital, I stay there for about 2 weeks at the minimum. I think I am due for my infusion in 2 weeks, and generally if I'm admitted and due my remicade, they just keep me in and do it on-ward. I have...

Sorry, is that the Mediport or PICC line (:

Yeah, I'm just hoping he'll book me in for the scopes tomorrow (he usually books them under emerg. because generally it is an emergency ahahha) as I can then sort out what the problem is, and work towards fixing it asap! I know, its awful! And because I'm only 15, its quite uncommon to have...

@afidz, I'm considering mentioning either a PICC line or MediPort if I am admitted to the hospital (which I most probably will be). I posted another thread elsewhere explaining what's going on with me at the moment; http://www.crohnsforum.com/newreply.php?do=postreply&t=49876 From the sound of...

Can they? Even better! Do you think its worth considering? Or even a mediport?

Thanks you so much GEC, I've got my appointment in a matter of hours and am feeling absolutely horrible. I'm actually praying he'll admit me as when I'm in the hospital I'm able to get the proper treatment in which cannot be provided at home, like strong pain meds, IV fluids and things like...
