Hi,
The nurse told me to drink lots of fluids. Eating and drinking during the infusion is fine.
I'm in the clinic for 2.5 hours.
I bring my iPod or a book. Usually I take a nap while listening to music.
Remicade has been s game changer for me.
Hope all goes well.
Hi,
I have about about 1.5 m left. I had a 20 year remission from severe fistulizing Crohn's.
Don't give up. Talk to the doctor about the depression.
Sending you my support.
I've just completed a sleep study. I have sleep apnea.
Last night was the first with a CPAP machine.
A night full of dreams (REM sleep) and no am headache.
This could be a game changer for me.
Hi and welcome,
Lower right quadrant pain was all I had for several years. That slowly changed when I was 11/12 years old and I was fully investigated.
Just to clarify, colitis is just inflammation in the colon. Ulcerative colitis is limited to the colon only and is different from Crohn's...
It's been a while since I had one; they are awful.
Sorry, I don't remember details.
Our Trillium Drug Plan in Ontario is a wonderful safty net for us.
Sending you my support.
Hi A ja,
I've had CD for 38 yearsish. It not uncommon to have times like this, physically and psychologically.
Keep your doctor in the loop with what's going on.
Talking it out is important.
Sending you my support.
Vent away. It definately takes time to learn all the ins and outs of an ostomy.
I used to use paste; did for years. I changed to the eakin seals and love them. I may have 1 or 2 leaks a year.
Hang in there, it gets easier.
Do you mean your smell is off or you smell something strange?
Smell is a pretty powerful sense. I still get a bit of a panic attack as soon as the hospital smell hits me when i get off the elevator.
