I think you are going to need to do a taper down off tramadol if you want to stop taking it. I have read some horror stories about tram withdrawals. If they work well for you perhaps quitting them isnt a great idea. Maybe go have a chat with the doc prescribing them and get their advice?

I would call my doc on monday morning with that going on. Maybe do only clear liquids for the rest of the weekend.

Yeppers! Thats what I am here for to help!

What is Marinol? Sorry I hijacked the thread to snow. My bad! Also wondering if anyone knows it the "herbal incense" has the same properties as MJ for Crohns? Thats legal here for now. I am concerned because it is an altered herb basically.

I wish I knew what to say from what I see it looks like inflammation of the liver, but that is really a guess. Please let us know what the doc says?

Peter, Welcome to the forums. It is good to hear a happy story! Is it possible you have celiacs as well as crohns?

Hi Louann, I understand being afraid of remicade. I was too. I guess it comes down to what quality of life you have right now, being afraid of tomorrow is no way to live. My best suggestion is to talk to your GI doctor about your fears, get into a real discussion with him about how you feel...

I would have to ask some questions to see if thats a flare..are you having any other symptoms right now? Is it possible that could be a stricture and or blockage? If so you should get to the hospital. Is the pain bad or manageable? Hope you start feeling better and welcome to the forums.

Hi! Welcome to the forums. I know in the middle of a flare up it can seem overwhelming. At some point the flare will calm down and you will start to feel better. I would get the colonoscopy done and see where the disease is at then you and your doctor can come up with a good treatment plan to...

Does anyone else have this? I know for me it just makes that whole week LOVELY.

I have tried the cleaning service thing.He starts complaining about them coming. He is a pain in the rump... but I love him:P

So far, my Rhumetologist seems the best at covering the bases. He gives LOTS of Biologics out in his practice and deals with all the side effects.

Ouch I hope you start feeling better. It really sounds like the sulfa. I personally have not taken that but I have heard it can be nasty. Maybe ask your doc about Methotrexate. Its an inexpensive medicine that may get you off the prednisone as well. You could also ask about Humira, I know...

Hi! Welcome to the forums!

Hi, Welcome to the forums!

I was fuzzy headed, dizzy, tired, extremely tired, nausea and a few more things on MTX. It was not a viable option for me cause of all of the side effects.

I don't have celiacs, but I have been tested for it. I have seen quite a few wheat free cookbooks out there. I really feel for you with both of them. I hope you start to feel better.

We went with because of the virus I can't go. He is gonna make a showing and come home. It stinks, but it is what it is. I am going to curl up with a good book and or watch a chick flick with my cousin.

I don't have any tips, but I wish you well and will be thinking about you. Good Luck!

The humira nurse told me to leave it out for 20 minutes to help with the stinging. I used to do the delay delay thing, and my week would revolve around the shots as well. Even with someone else doing it. Now its just that time out of the fridge its really on my mind.
