Now that you mention it, I was juicing last week and maybe felt a little better. Thanks I'll start doing this again.

Thanks for that I will ask my doctor about those tests on Monday :)

Getting my 2nd infusion Monday!

hey i felt better after my first, but others its there 2nd, 4th etc so ya everyone is different I guess

Crohnos01 there is person in the remicade club who is restarting after 2 years so maybe we were wrong about restarting!!

Yes I have taken ensure before, i am eating very well though and they usually only prescribe it if you have completely lost your appetite, whereas I am eating 4 or 5 small meals a day. What is a proteinogram is that a Full blood count - because I had one of them done Wednesday, waiting for...

You should probably ring, Id say they kinda want to know everything after the first infusion. God that is awful now.. I know I had that reaction to 6-mp that is why I hated it. But it just might be a temporary thing and your body might be just getting used to it. Hope you start to feel a bit...

I also read that celery is good for sex drive! Relationships are a tricky business, I really think only the 2 people a relationship can solve their problems. People can give advice etc. sometimes looking up strategies on 'how to argue' can help. Learning to stick to the point etc. using words...

i know in Ireland I fell in to a priority group and my doctor phones me about it every year.

when you are saying you are eating all the right things what do you mean by that - right things in general can sometimes affect us crohnies :( i too get the gurgling when i am in a flare - lying on my left side sometimes help but mostly i sleep on my stomach for some odd reason i find it more...

I had one last winter around Christmas so I'm probably due that again now. Hope your healthy enough on Fri :thumright:

This poster sounds like my boyfriend - exercise, exercise, exercise :). I have to say that I commend you for asking for advice. The problem here is time. Your wife is doing the wife duties, the kids, etc. A diet takes time, number 1 you have to research it, eating healthy can be very time...

Thanks all of you, i haven't had my b12 levels checked, but the bloods i sent in yesterday have a full iron profile so hopefully they will see what that is, they had only checked hg levels, iron and ferretin but not B12. But in the short term is there anything at all? Like some great energy...

Hi All I was just wondering if any of you have any ideas of what I could take to improve my energy. I am due to go back to work next week, I have been off for the past 3 weeks including this one with a flare, My crohn's symptoms are getting under control but my iron levels are very low - the...

yea they are very strict alright apparently you have to be completely healthy everytime, that is what the nurse told me the last day. I had my bloods done today for my next one monday, hope they don't show up anything!!

Hopefully it was just a once off. I only recently started as you know aswell and my consultant told me not to get alarmed if there was blood. Hopefully it will settle completely after the next one. I am tapering at the moment too with pred, down to 20mg tomorrow, they were doing me no good...

My god thanks so much for sharing your story. That is some story and by the sounds of it you have only told us a fraction of it! Stay strong, and this is a great place! I would never have coped the last few months only for it. I really think this is an incredible resource.

sorry to hear you have started to flare or are having to same one , was the bleeding there before you started the remicade and was still on prednisone?

This is strange but I had awful pain in my back today when passing urine aswell, and a pain down through me. never had that pain before! but my urine is okay, it doesn't seem any different. maybe just coincidence but i only had my 1st infusion like you, and i am due monday for my 2nd.

great to see someone else has had this anyway!!! mostly it is more a tingly feeling now. can't wait to get off bloody things, down to 25mg now..
