What about hair loss? Is one worse then the other. On imuran my hair thinned out a bit, but was manageable.

Thank you! I have taken humira with imuran in the past, currently on humira, but methotrexate might be added for joints.

What is the difference between imuran and methotrexate?

Hi Everyone! I have a question about body aches. In the past I have had joint issues when in a flare, usually my knees. Lately the back of my thighs ache, kind of like if I had just worked out but I didn't. Is this a sign of arthritis aswell? I am very stiff in the mornings. I thought...

I had my usual shakology shake for breakfast with a coffee. My morning snack today is a banana, lunch is a chicken sandwich, Afternoon snack is a piece of homemade banana bread.

GREAT post! So many important points! Thank you for sharing!

Cmack, What pharmacy do you get the VSL#3?

A lot of these foods I would not be able to tolerate, too much finer is tricky for me, raw veggies can be tough, any roughage. Is this because of where me crohns is at? I have it right where the small meets the large. A girl at work has crohns in large bowel and eats everything I can't.

I bought some glucosamine with MSM, and it has that ingredient "c" word you guys mentioned. I will give it a try. I saw turmeric there and thought about it, next time I'm in the pharmacy I will try it. Thanks!

Thanks! I know it does suck, but I'm trying to stay positive and not get myself down.

Thank you for all the support and suggestions, I really appreciate it.

Ok, in the meantime I bought some glucosamine to try. I guess it wouldn't hurt. Also been applying ice. I'm also going to be very careful with my diet and make sure it's easier foods to digest, even if I'm not in pain. Hopefully inflammation will go down in my gut and transfer over to my knees.

Yes, it does happen every time I flare. I will keep my appointments.

Ok, it's only been a few weeks since the initial symptoms of flare, so I guess it's hard to tell. Think I should still book with a rheumatologist? Or wait it out a few more weeks to see if it calms down?

So, could I have had type one and now have type two? It seems in the past it a Ways calmed down right with the crohns, this time it's not. Or, is it possible my crohns isn't calm?

A few weeks ago I went to ER with a flare a possible partial blockage. I'm on prednisone, crohns seems to have calm down and my knees were doing ok, until this week I lowered the prednisone and my knees are hurting again. I see the family dr on Monday to get referred for a rheumatologist. In the...

Thank you, I will look into this.

Ok, thanks!

Ok thanks. Where would I get tiger balm? Do u apply it for pain? Inflammation?

Does anyone take glucosamine for their joints? Notice any difference?
