Dusty, thank you for sharing this letter. With your permission, I may adapt it sometime if needed for the workplace.

J., that's nuts!!!!! That's all I have to say. :ymad:

Oh my goodness, what an experience. I'm so sorry for you going through that. Welcome to the forum - I suspect you'll have a lot to add here.

Hey Paso: Is this therapist a licensed clinical psychologist? A man presenting with irritability should have been screened for the depression at the first appointment. If this is the case, the psychologist might be aware of the depression (or, not) and treating it accordingly as part of anger...

Whoot!

Hi K: Just wanted to pop in to say that I hope you have a good, smooth healing process now. Sorry the wound is so hard to look at right now! It'll get better.

So happy for you! What an accomplishment, travelling successfully when you've had such a challenging year.

What a pain!!!!!!! Fingers crossed it's sorted for you and soon.

Good suggestions, Dusty! Defo should check on Vit D, come to think of it. :)

Hi all: 150 mg: Crohn's spread to a new part of digestive system, developed 2 fistulas. 200 mg: Looked like mild dementia -- confused, forgetful, making mistakes left and right. 175 mg: Ahhhhh! Relief! It hasn't been very long, but things are really turning around. I would have been in...

Shamrock, had the gum graft last year. It was bearable with Tylenol with codeine (over the counter, so less potent than a T3), but far from pleasant. This coming year it looks like I get to experience a root canal. In a period of months one tooth has just about rotted itself out. I went in for...

What a happy homecoming for you. Keep on feeling better and better.

Dear Kevin: I am so sorry that you are going through this. I cannot offer advice but I want to send some support. What an awful, awful situation. The one idea I have is that sometimes people who are not working can get assistance to take a college course or program; this might be something to do...

More fun times for you, eh, Monkey. Good job re. the 8.5 hours of sleep! Sorry re. idiot paternalistic physician trying to catch you hiding the mildest possible med for Crohn's (Buscopan? Bah!) in the teddy!!!?!

Yes yes and yes. I am not allowed veg, period (except peeled potatoes, basically). Same for most fruits. And now I eat chocolate, candy, absolute garbage. I used to live on salad and homemade soup and was slim and fit. Now my skin is suffering from poor nutrition. I am slowly turning this...

I am never, ever, ever going to stay in a hospital. Must have private washroom. With lock. And no you cannot touch me if you've already touched someone else. And people who are not staff are not allowed to talk to me. Better yet, I'm not allowed to hear them. /horrified :sign0085:

Suschex, I'm so with you! IF the pred had worked, then fine, put up with side effects. But when it clearly did not help, the 20ish pound weight gain, huge cheeks, 3 months on blood pressure medication, and few months with numb arms and legs was Not Pleasant At All.

Hang in there, Tom! This too shall pass (ehm, too soon?). Tomorrow will be over before you know it. Best wishes.

Thanks heaps for the update, Silvermoon. Have you had a good weekend with your husband? We all KNEW that you're one of a kind (you didn't have to prove it like this!). Fingers crossed for good outcomes from the new round of treatment.

Hi Jill: So sorry about a tough day today. That doesn't sound much like IBS to me, either (sure, our bodies are weird and wonderful, or maybe just weird, but diagnosis requires some sort of consistency between symptoms and attached label). Take good care.
