Hi Sprout and welcome. I know what you mean about telling people how you feel. I have started always saying, "I'm on the mend." I say this everytime, whether I'm in extreme pain or actually having a better day... A lot of days I just want to crawl into bed and never come out. I feel like...

I smiled at your "scream." I've had a few of those. It is so frustrating, between the different drug treatments, surgery, pain, confusing or uncaring doctors, it's really a tough road. But well worth it...life that is. Get yourself informed about it all; then make the best calm, intelligent...

I agree, your body will definitely tell you when you're doing too much. I just forget to listen. And I know what you mean about loved ones treating like a breakable doll. I am recovering from surgery in March and just went back at work 3 weeks ago. The way I handle work and Crohn's is...

Same here. I'm okay in the morning then by the time evening comes around I'm bloated with pain. My doctor said go ahead and take 4 Gas-Xs per day, and it does help. It's definitely worse when I eat a full meal (as oppose to little snacks all day). Has anyone tried Beano. I thought it had...

Hi Jill, Thanks for responding! I did a couple weeks on Prednisone and now I'm taking Pentasa and Tramadol. There are so many meds. How do you tell if your doctor's doing the right thing, or is it a hit or miss kind of thing? This is really a lousy disease...and the young people! Sorry, I...

I have Crohn's and have had pain in my jaw also. I believe it's from clenching my teeth in my sleep because of the pain I feel in my gut. During the day I try to consciously relax my jaw by aliening my teeth and just relaxing the jaw. It does help. Stress also will cause a person to clench...

thanks for listening Hi. So my story is....February 28, 2011 I went to the hospital with a stomach ache. Doctor said it was an appendisitis. A CT scan was done and the small intenstine and colon were also inflamed. Tried to drink all the stuff for a colonoscopy but it wouldn't go down...
