I always bleed just a little with each shot, one of them we hit a capilary and I bleed more than a little bit. So I have my bandaids and a gauze pad ready, just in case!

ahh sounds like healthcare in the US. The doctors have to justify costs to bean counters. I am sorry you are going through this.

It is possible the back pain is like mine, related to crohn's. If it is in his ribs and he is having problems breathing he needs to see a Rhuematologist asap. There is a possibility of a rather icky bone disease called AS that can come with crohn's. Take him to the ER please.

I understand about verifying your symptoms before having surgery, but stopping humira without talking to your GI can really throw you into a massive flare up. Please call them? As far as the once a week thing, if one every 2 weeks does not work they up it to once a week, I think RA treatment...

Hi welcome to the forums! This time of year is always really hard on people with IBD, I generally flare up anywhere from now till Jan. The best tips I have for you may not work as kids are not something that can be "put off". Try to stay stress free, try a clear liquid diet for a few days to...

My son was about your babies age when I started getting symptoms of crohn's. I understand how hard it is to be a new mom and deal with this disease. My biggest fear for my son is that he will get it. I can only imagine what that like on top of being a new mom. I have taken my son to the GP...

Awe, well a few more days in the peace and quiet is good right? Is the hole starting to heal? Feel better, relax and try to stay stress free!

Not a problem I understand drug fog, I live there a lot of the time. Try to take it easy and start feeling better.

LOL loose 4 pounds in 4 hours miracle, stays gone unless you eat! Glad your colonoscopy went well! Scar tissue is part of a crohnies life I think.

Hi! So sorry you are going through this. Being faced with major surgery is never easy. I hope we can help you in some way.

Yes stopping humira will cause you to flare up. Did your doctor tell you to stop? I am not sure if the immune system stuff is worth a flare before surgery. Good Luck!

Hi Welcome to the forums, I am not sure if those are crohn's symptoms but I would ask to be referred to a Gastro doctor rather than have my GP treating it. Some invasive testing is usually needed to get a Crohn's diagnosis, like a colonoscopy, small bowel follow through etc. Take a look...

Yummy Cookies! I think I will bake some I can eat as well!! To bad my favorite are oatmeal raisin, if i make them I ALWAYS eat too many and wind up with a massive tummy ache from all the fiber in the oatmeal!

Congrats Kelly, I hope they offer you a treatment plan you both can live with or at least settle your concerns on the course of action you decide to take!

Kelly, the pred will also take care of his asthma. I have it as well. I know how bad pred sucks but getting him through the holidays and while everyone figures out the best thing is prolly the best course of action. Plus if you go with surgery at least being on Pred he will be able to eat and...

Oh you were having a really rough week. I hope you start to feel better now that you have your meds.

I found with lortab if I eat bread or crackers when I take it it really helps the nausea. I have also found that using lortab for a bit makes the "stoned" effect go away. I guess thats why people get addicted if they are looking for "stoned" not pain relief. Downfall of all opiates is the...

Thank you! If I can help someone with this god awful disease with my experiences then it was not all in vain.. ya know? I think its awesome what you parents are doing. Finding out as much information as possible and truly taking the bull by the horns to do whats best for your children. I know...

Hi Welcome to the forums! You have quite a history going on there! It is possible to have constipation with active crohn's and it is nasty. Is that a possibility for you? My doc is putting me on Cymbalta for depression, its supposed to help with pain. The joint pain can be brutal, I know...
