I had some major back pain the past few weeks so doctor prescribed Methyldose pack (a six-day pack). Three days after finishing, I woke up with an attack like I haven't had in years!! Major cramps, diarrhea, cold sweaters, body shaking -- and ending with mucus and blood. That was Friday...

So 15 days ago, I swallowed the camera pill. (still waiting on results--dr hasn't yet viewed the pictures). I never saw the camera come out, but I haven't been "searching" for it. I just assumed it had passed. Well funny thing, for the past 12 hours I keep feeling a mild vibrating in my...

I have has six colonoscopies so far and all the preps were different! I like mirlax/Gatorade one best. Whichever prep, make sure to use probiotics for a few days afterwards, my suggestion.

For those with anemia, how often do you get your blood work done? My doctor has been checking me every three months. I'm curious.

I get really dizzy on it

I had a small bowel barium xray series after my first colonoscopy, but not a MRI. I guess each Dr is different as is each patient.

Waiting on results from the camera pill study I did today...will see doctor in 7 to 10 days. I haven't done many meds in the past...nothing more than Asacol tables and Rowasa suppositories. But since I am anemic this time, we may have to be more aggressive???

After a colonoscopy, it can take 2 or 3 days to poop. It's usually normal. I did my FIRST camera pill today. (Although I have had seven colonoscopies in the past!) It was actually pretty cool to know how it works. I won't get results for 7 to 10 days, though. I went in at 7:40am to swallow...

Thanks for the reply...Upper six months ago. Colonoscopy last month. And video capsule today!!!! Severely anemic the past four months.

Thanks Jane! I was joking of course

I got pregnant twice...hang in there! Relax and let God take over your anxiety

Oh gosh, sorry to hear about all your meds. I haven't done Humira (yet). I am always tired too, -- I sleep a lot during the day when kids are at school!

Sorry to hear of your problems, but welcome to the group!

welcome, I am a newbie to this forum too (but not new to Crohn's)

haha, 66 people viewed this post and not one "hello" ;)

I swallowed the pill at 7:40am. I usually can't swallow large pills but it went down pretty easy!! (I can't feel the camera moving through me per se but a couple of times I had some random quick pains or twitches!) I go back at 3:40pm to remove the transmitter.

When as the last time you had blood tests run?

Dr waiting three months to recheck urine. Thank you for the info 😊

Great, thank you Jayne!! How long do results take??

Two years ago, I switched from Diet Coke to Coke Classic. A few months ago, I was getting like you...sleeping all the time and needing more and more Coke thru the Day. Found out I was anemic. Iron deficient anemia!!
