Ive been flaring for over a year now....and my Prednisone and Remicade are my saving grace. Ive gained 30 lbs in two months and Im in terrible moods most the time....but my disease is managable....I think short term is awsome, and if it makes you feel better, then why not. I mean weights sucks...

So Im not feeling the greatest today, and havnt been for a few days. I try to keep it to myself as Im sure my family has had enough already. My bathroom habits are not too bad, but still not great. It seems that when I eat, Im in the bathroom within 20 minutes.....it goes right through me. How...

I am on Remicade and have had three infussions and I have mucus in my stool. It has always been an issue not a side effect of the drug.

So I finally had my third treatment...it was hell trying to stay healthy to get those...but finally did. Im still tappering off Prednisone but going thru a bit of a stressful time and have decided to just stablize for a while longer before I tapper more. I am NOT completely symptom free...like I...

Hey Misty, after re-reading your post, I think you should hang on....if your not really sick and "needing:" surgery, then why go there. Have you tried Prednisone, I know it helps for some of the issues you talk about. I dont think I could volunterly sign to be cut open in a time of such success...

Joan, think positive...youve been doing so good....you have to keep your head up, and yes lots of fluids and rest. There is some NASTY stuff going around right now, my whole family has had it and many others I know have been sick with a really bad cold and gi stuff. Hang in there....I pray for...

Hey Misty, I underwent a exploratory surgery expecting resections...and I was lucky enough to wake up and go home!! It wasnt as bad as they thought and they were able to get in and out without cutting me up. I hope and pray for you that things look up....just try and stay positive....I know...

Im wondering if its an acid reflux problem....the deep belching, perhaps a perscription antiacid might do the trick. When I flare I cant stop vomiting...doesnt matter what drs do for me....I just have to ride it out. Normally I have abdominal pain and suffer with burping and farting...

Im only in pain if things are inflammed or not fully under control.

Ive never been on advair, but am currently on Pred. I am tappering at 10mgs per every few weeks...its terrible on me when I tapper. I feel like I have the flu and my body hurts really bad....although, it only lasts for about 3-5 days and I feel better again. From what I know, you should never...

Ohhhh....NyQuil?? Wow, I have found that in this past 6 months if I try to use NyQuil I have a terrible couple of days following use. Interesting!! I try to stay away from that stuff too!

Is it possible to flare on Prednisone? Also, is every flare the same in terms of symptoms, or can new symptoms develope as new flares come on? Thanks

So I posted yesterday about lumps in my right abdomen between my lowest rib and my hip. I felt really bad last night with lots of pain in those lumps on that side...4 pain pill and a sleeping pill later, I finally got some rest. Today when I woke up I felt terrible. I saw GI and he can feel the...

Yea...bad tummy bug goin around right now. My family just got over it, and it was a nasty one. Although in my experience, flares are 10 times worst than a bug could ever be. I hope you get to feeling better soon~

Ohhh how I feel your frustration. I am incredibly itchy....all the time!! I have black hair on my lip and chin and its very course. They say the side effects go away when off of it....boy I cant wait. Im a hairy moon face who itches everywhere!!
