Thank you!!!

Hello All, I'm back...Totally forgot I was even here until i got a reminder email...just reading up on posts to see whats new and whats still old...I am pushing 50 in January and just had a colonoscopy last week, nothing in large bowel, some inflammation in small bowel, I am one of those...

omg Jan, thats so cute...when you say consultant, are you referring to your specialist? I go to a big hospital downtown (a teaching hospital) and I have come across some really hot dr's..but yes..cant really hit on them after all they've already seen/done...on another note, I have very fine hair...

Oh Linda, yes prednisone is a crazy drug...remicade? well let me know how that works for you..I've read some pretty good things about it on here...many are using it and apparently its some miracle drug...but i dont like the fact about reading about cancer with these drugs...scares me..

hello I am actually new as well...and welcome to you -- I did not like prednisone and will never use it again, and I have not had good results with Imuran..as soon as my hair starts falling out..forget it...not only that...I ended up in Emerg...I think I wrote in my post...these drugs, again...

thats great good for you...I remember being on a study when they made Entocort..I remember going in the washroom and mixing the orange juice with the liquid from the inhalers they use for asthma..(yes thats what it was)...that was how I took Entocort (also named Budesonide)...my how time has...

yes seems alot of us crohnies are alike...our symptons especially...I hate Imuran and wont go back on it...I am holding off on calling my drs office to tell them..this is a really great site...so are you not on any meds??:rosette1:

Hello Genio...so really what does that leave you? Thats terrible..

thank you...yes its pretty awesome...

wow..ok so i'm not the only one...scary when this stuff happens..and lucky for you that your were in the hospital already...these medications can really be so dangerous - thats why most of my life I haven't really been on any...

yes your so right...no 2 people are alike...ever

I'm paranoid like you as well...these drugs are almost lethal..I read that Imuran is like chemo...just that scares me...I was taken to ER having chest pains and burning in my heart...I swear I thought i was having a heart attack..not sure it it was anxiety but will find out on the 2nd when i go...

Thank you..how nice...you see I am not in the process of losing weight anymore...i think that is when your younger, who knows...dr suggested Humira but i was reading up on it and it sounded scary as well..I have a drug plan that covers Remicade and what i want is something with as little side...

it has alot of side effects? did you try Imuran? is it better than that or same?

I constantly ate on Prednisone...anything and everything...it really was horrible plus i ballooned out...everywhere...couldn't sleep..felt terrible..didn't do anything good for me...at all...

weight Hey hello...yes weight...big issue...but I am not even on prednisone..I just love food and cant seem to lose the weight now...I would say i first started gaining last winter...really gotta put a lock on the fridge and yes my health is good so far except that i have ulcers in my bowels...

well yes seems we have alot in common...I work in an elementary school and have been off most of the summer...I go back on the 30th so I'm hoping that I can go back to not eating all the time..plus quitting smoking doesn't help but best thing i could have done..I haven't been on prednisone in...

wonderful what a wonderful place i've found...thank you for your replys...it so helps..I remember Dr. Greenberg at Mt. Sinai, I too had him once...I have an awesome Dr. that i've had since i was diagnosed Dr. Stephen Wolman, he's pretty amazing...I guess if you dont live in the city its very...

by the way also, best Dr's are usually at Toronto General or Mt. Sinai...only 2 hospitals I will go to

thank you thank you again for the welcome...yes its a funny disease thats for sure...a mind of its own...i just have to try now to lose some weight, have quit smoking on day #10 so far...after the episode that landed me in ER I thought it was smoking...I am pretty sure it was Imuran, but yes it...
