I think for me I would include: Diarrhea, bloody stool/diarrhea, constipation, accidents, frequent bathroom runs & stomach pain.

Right, I forgot to say that this last year I had a colonoscopy and my GI found no inflammation at all. Which is why I put that in my signature...

I believe so, at least for me it is. I do have times still where I don't feel good, but I'm not receiving blood in my bowls. So, I do know that I'm not in a flare. Did they say that you're in remission?

If it tells you anything, a few years back I was in a BAD flare and sent home from work because I was in so much pain by my person in charge. Now that person is one of my managers and I'm the person in charge! Kind of strange how the tables turn. One thing I've learned is to be thankful for...

Oh yes, I work in retail and even read last night somewhere that my company is #1 in the places not to work. Which is really sad, because when I first started working here it wasn't so bad. It's extremely hard for me because I'm between a rock and a hard place. I'm having a horrible time...

I've been working part time (sometimes almost full time) at my job now for over 17 years. Everyone there knows about my IBD, but in some ways I think it's different because I've been there that long. Every time a new manager comes, I wait to let them know about my IBD until I've gotten to...

So, after all that this morning I get a call from work (and woken up). Supposedly my boss has recently been sent quite often to a store that nobody likes to go and was sent there this morning. Because of that, there'd be nobody in charge after 2pm (which was my normal time) and they needed me...

Me or them? Unfortunately, this isn't the first time something like this has happened. It's just the first time in a long time that this drastic of a thing has. Which, is why I'm just a little upset. :ybatty:

So, here's one for the books. Each week a new schedule is posted. The schedule shows the current week's schedule along with 2 additional weeks ahead. Needless to say, each schedule shows 3 weeks of schedules. The cool thing is that each newest schedule is posted online so we can see it at...

Yup, my stomach and all are always better when my husband and I are on vacation. A whole lot less stress and even if we don't do much, no matter what I'm more relaxed. I've joked on occasion that it's too bad we're not old enough to be retired! :rof:

Hi and welcome! We have a saying here that if you're asking if you should be seen, it's time to go be seen. Usually that's for the ER, but I believe that's for this too. I totally understand about not wanting medication. At one point I too went medication free, but I'd never do that now...

Not sure, but it almost looks like your colitis is active and you have polyps. Kinda also looks like they may have taken biopsies of the polyps and your sigmoid colon where they found the polyps. But, your best bet for exact info would be to either wait for your appointment or, you could...

I hope they can get you figured out soon. Sending you lots of hugs girl! :hug:

I have not, but sure hope things can get figured out so they can go away Ron! Sorry this is happening to you... :hug:

Glad that you're doing well for the most part Cat!!! Chickens are doing well, but Granny is not. This strange winter has been messing up my chickens. So, 3 out of 4 chickens are laying eggs even though by now all 4 should be laying. Needless to say, it's taking them time to catch up to the...

How's the job going Cat? A couple weeks ago I got tried at work to be a person in charge in my department. I've done it before on occasion so no big deal for me. However, just before I took some time off for my husband and my anniversary I was told that I'm to be the backup pic permanently...

I too would go with a pad instead. I'd think that using a tampon there would cause problems. But, another option would be to contact your doctor for ideas.

Good luck Lisa! Hope all turns out well for you...:hug:

Looks like you maybe alright with your 63 and if you were 110 or higher I'd be worried. I've been looking around to see what I could find to put your mind at ease and this is the closest I could find without being too wordy. Hope it helps...

Sulfalazine was my first medication I was put on when I was first diagnosed. It did well for me for years, until I needed something stronger. But, I'm afraid I don't have ileal crohns...
