Skywench, that's my favourite saying! And I'll join you on your trip.

Hi Brian: Welcome to the forum; I'm sorry you have Crohn's (and even sorrier that you are in hospital!). Yes, remission for years is possible. I love to work out and find that my body is not yet ready for long runs (half marathon distance) although it is getting closer, but I have taken up...

Hi Janelle! I don't have a stoma so please feel free to use or lose this suggestion, but a cognitive behavioural therapist might be able to help you be out and about with less anxiety again (just 3-6 sessions work for many people, with homework in between sessions). Take good care!

Just checking in to say hi and that I'm glad you had a fab time out despite some continuing issues with the new stoma (etc.!) -- take it a day at a time!

Thanks for this update from college, Shannon! I think you have set out a very sensible plan for the next few months and look forward to hearing how it works for you.

Hi again: My GI's secretary is out of town and he is only taking calls in case of emergency. I can reach him by going through my family doctor, if needed, but unless an emergency comes up I will wait until around the 17th to call and ask about discussing what to do next. I am starting to...

Nice to hear! :) A good day for me, too - feeling good, had a shork day, just had a nap, and off to strength training class tonight.

My favourite talk: The World Needs All Kinds of Minds http://www.ted.com/talks/temple_grandin_the_world_needs_all_kinds_of_minds.html (I don't quite agree with 100% of she says but the main point is lovely!)

Hi all: Thanks for your replies. Because I have stopped and started the medication several times now, I can say with some confidence that the memory loss and foggy sensation is most likely stemming from the medication, and my pharmacist agrees. No such problems today, for example, after...

Good overall, thanks for asking! Odd thing happening right now (it's in the Imuran thread) but this too shall pass. And we had a beautiful warm day today so I traipsed through our neighbourhood park on my way home from church (and an International potluck, mmm!).

Jessi: Late to see this but so so so delighted for you!!!!!!!!

Hi all! I haven't been on the forum in the past few days as the page is very unstable when I log on using my desktop -- flickering and the page refreshing every 1/2 second or so. How bizarre! Speaking of bizarre, I was advised this morning by my pharmacist to immediately stop 200 mg Imuran...

Dear kind, beautiful mom to Izzi, you are doing a fantastic job helping Izzi get used to having an NG tube; the effort that you and family are putting forth just shines through this entire thread (and other posts -- I rarely comment due to no experience with childhood Crohn's, but I do read and...

Always knew I was sensitive to fibre as my mom's bran muffins would do a number on my stomach. Was lactose intolerant for years (my GP said it was anxiety...ha, nope, milk), which was at the root of many of the problems, but even after figuring out the lactose intolerance and giving up milk etc...

And yet I was told that 20/day is "just normal for some people." I wasn't misdiagnosed -- I was sent home with a dx of "no problem!"

Sorry, on the run and can't comment but wanted to say... Hurray for PROGRESS! xo

BOBBY!!!! Congratulations, both on the big win and on the big transformation - that's outstanding. I remember when you first posted about entering this contest and being so impressed that you were taking on the challenge, and now the results are...wow.

Hey Manzyb I have little or no stomach pain most days, which is a point I wasn't ever sure I would reach. Interestingly, I am not in remission -- in fact, the Crohn's has spread to a new location. But Imuran seems to be keeping the pain mostly at bay. What lingers is fatigue. It's improved...

Got in my walk time travelling to & from night class again yesterday. Too cold and windy for wimpy me today, but I will take my bike to the Y this evening and do a spin class. :)
