Yup that's how I feel! With added crazy. The weight loss with definitely be welcomed, I guess I mean if I end up looking like whale, which I'm sure I won't. :( just had a cringe moment with a trainee doctor. She was american and at medical school here and I got so nervous I was unable to speak...

40mg of pred. Actually feeling that heaps of energy that people describe. I need to stop being paranoid about the weight gain and think about the benefits such as getting better. I look like a skeleton, but physiologically when you lose weight, you like it at first. But I've realised that it's...

Hahaha! Well back when I was at primary school pupils in my class found a website that they thought was hilarious called 'Rate My Poo' - it still exists and it is basically a site for turdies. We could go to town on those normal bowled bleeps! Oh lord, steroids are sending me crazy already. Or...

Just taken my 8 pred and elemental 028. The nurse joked about me soon being fat again - not impressed. If I get anywhere near how much I used to weigh, I'd stop treatment immediately! A stone or 2, fine. Yeah, I'm just going with the flow and hoping I feel well soon. I can't wait to taper off...

Hope it doesn't affect my teeth, just got those fixed lol. I have to take 8 pred a day and 4 of the drinks. He said to his students that in my case he is using a top down approach by using the strongest of medications first to immediately attack the disease. The approach he is using on me is to...

I aim to please! I was in such a mood at the time haha. I'd have preferred a morning appointment for the reason you said. Not just that, but you get to do the prep all at once. Facing that poison in a morning is horrid! Hope you get a diagnosis! Edit:Oh oh, he's also put me on vitamin D and...

Ah, thanks gemling, I was wondering! :) SO they're sending me home today after an MRI with pred and eternal nuitrition drinks. The consultant said there's no point staying in because I can do exactly the same thing at home, which is true, I'm not crippled in pain by no means, just a bit uneasy...

It's on the outside of the door, I'll have a peak later! They don't put them at the end of your bed anymore. :/ They're already waiting to come in and wake me up after coming in at 2:30 last night to check my BP...is it really necessary for them to do observations during the night. I was asleep...

Hahaha I must have been in such a bad mood when I wrote my last post. She isn't very talkative at all and I'm a shy person, so sometimes I need that friendly greeting to make me feel like I can speak to somebody. Any idea what the injection in my belly could have been yesterday? I had it once...

@Cat - can't say I feel better as of yet, but hope I do soon! My gut is feeling a little tender from the prodding and biopsies that were taken. Had two doses today, tomorrow I'll get four. I'll definitely keep you all updated, this group is the only section of the forum that I ever visit and...

Thank you! Yeah it sucks that I have it, but it's better for knowing. Had my first lot of steroids and then get some more tonight. They want a stool sample in some huge cardboard bucket, but I haven't eaten until now so they might have to wait a while. Ugh my stools are ugly as hell, poor nurse...

We have a diagnosis *drum roll* ......it's crohns. I've been admitted for 5 days to get intravenous steroids and hopefully that will make me feel a bit better. The worst news is that I have to have a colonoscopy soon after to see if the inflammation goes down. As for the colonoscopy, it wasn't...

Thank you for all the support, it's really helping with the nerves. I'm worrying about everything. Mainly if I'm cleaned out enough, especially since I'm now dressed and have stopped having BMs. Did yours just suddenly stop and then that was it? I suppose once the MoviPrep has gone, what else is...

Yeah, I won't have the pizza right after! I'll probably go to the hospital cantine for a light lunch. Struggled so much to get the second litre down today, because I knew how bad it tasted. Even the thought of it now makes me shudder. Took the first dose at 7 PM last night and these second at...

:( Hungry, so hungry. Can't stop thinking about the huge pizza I'm going to order tomorrow. Really just want to go to bed, but not sure when this prep...stops working? I hold my hands up and say this is as dreadful as you all say. It makes me want to cry thinking that there's another jug of the...

Same! Good luck :)

I'm already planning my meal for Monday night! :D

Mine is yellow with that 'snotty' texture, haha ew. I'd say your leakage is just very watery D perhaps, if it doesn't have any texture. I...leak too and it's as you describe yours. Sometimes when I'm struggling to go, I get the liquid what is maybe leaking over the constipated BM - some people...

They're SO good. I'm sure you could make far better homemade ones. I got mine from a supermarket and it was a little battered, didn't affect the taste though. Yeah anything fibrous is banned. Some people take natural senna a few days before, might give that a try. I am kinda loving this diet...

Starting my low-residue diet today before my prep on Sunday...I did eat a custard slice earlier, it was just there and I had to. The moviprep box does say it isn't necessary to change diet until prep day, but I will stick to it from now on! XD Any tips on getting things moving? I have pretty...
