    Can Levsin cause veritgo??

    I took a Levsin last night at 6pm. This morning, 12 hours later, I stepped down for my house to the garage and my world was spinning. It lasted 5 to 10 seconds but stopped me my tracks. I have never experienced anything like it!

    Ouchie!!! No meds

    Doctor is thinking an infection (not Crohn's??), since I have been subbing a lot at the kids' school!! Blood test and stool samples ordered. RX for Levsin (Hyoscyamine) and Probiotics.

    Crohns pain upper right quadrant

    April, My doctor was pushing and poking on my tummy today. He got to one spot and I screamed. I asked "What is that area?" and he said "Gallbladder!" BUT my CT_scan shows normal Gallbladder and lots of stool in the Cecum area (where short intestines meets large intestines). He ordered more...

    Is it Crohn's?

    Fortunately, it can take YEARS to know for sure. It's frustrating. I've been there. Try to relax. If you are not comfortable with your current GI, find a new one. Hang in there. Time will tell.

    Back pain---Muscle or Joint???

    I guess it's time I see a Rheumo. My general doctor is a DO so has been doing back adjustments but they are no longer helping me. I have had major backpain for 2 or 3 weeks...and the diarrhea and bleeding started five days ago. I feel horrible.

    Im always so tired and have no energy... any suggestions?

    Have they checked you for anemia? I was dead tired for two years while I fought low iron and ferritin.

    Yes, please let us know. I am curious. My doctor thought gallstones, but like I said ct-scan was clear.

    Bleeding

    I had bleeding on Friday/Saturday (for the first time in months). Called Gastro office on Monday and they couldn't "fit me in" until Wednesday! :( Guess it's not that urgent to them???

    Crohns pain upper right quadrant

    I have Right Upper Quad pain on and off for a year!! I had an xray and ct-scan. Both were fine. Pain comes and goes! :( Growing up, my pain was LOWER right. I can't find many with UPPER right.

    Prometheus Testing

    I had the test done YEARS ago, like 12 years ago. It showed I "leaned" more towards Crohn's that UC, but still inconclusive. Weird.

    New and had to fire my ex GI doc over Prometheus test... Help!

    Hi, I have been Undiagnosed most of my life. I'm 42 and started having problems as a freshmen in college (at age 18). Is it Crohn's or endometriosis on the bowel? No one knows, and sometimes I feel like no one cares. OB sends me to Gastro....Gastro throws me back to OB/GYN. Maybe I have...

    Tests came back negative -- no answers.

    I can relate!!! I have had Crohn's symptoms on and off for years and tests are always negative. My stool test 18 months ago showed occult bleeding, and I was severely anemic, yet my capsule test was negative as was my lower scope! So tell me, where is the blood coming from!?! UGH...

    Back pain---Muscle or Joint???

    My back was in so much pain this month. Doctor said "myalgia" which means muscle, but I think it could be joint pain. Xray was clear, showed no problems. What does your Crohn's-related back pain feel like???
