    I've been eyeing the Firefly. It's got a glass heating chamber and it's portable.

    Birth Control Options

    I just started Depo on the 1st. I don't have any absorption problems so I'm not that worried about bone loss, but it is a concern. My main issue is that I'm now freaking out because I started reading more about it and have found nothing but hordes of women with terrible side effects, such as...

    My Quest for LDN

    Still using LDN 4.5 mg. Also taking 3mg of budesonide in the morning and 4 of the big pentasa pills in the evening. Just had CBC and CRP. CBC looked great and CRP was .08 Not sure what is due to what but I'm satisfied with it. I feel great. Very physically active and my diet is still very clean.

    Entocort Side-effects... Anyone else experience any of these?

    Well, that sucks. I certainly do feel crazy. Everyone is telling me I am wrong! ;)

    My Quest for LDN

    Thanks ya'll. I have an ultrasound scheduled for Monday. I really don't think they will find anything there but will be good to be sure.

    I don't know. Unless it's just a crazy coincidence.

    My Quest for LDN

    An update: I've been taking entocort for 2 months. The first month, my period came a week late and I experienced dizziness. This month, I had really emotional pms. I actually had an anxiety attack in one of my classes and had to leave. I was pretty mortified. My period this month came a week...

    Does your GI know you take LDN?

    I got my LDN Rx from from a DO because my GI doctor lied about it being illegal to Rx it. Basically, she was just deflecting because she had no interest in deviating from the "standard of care". I ended up telling her that I got it from somewhere else. She was snooty about it but I've pretty...

    Does your GI know you take LDN?

    Can you share some of these news stories with us? I read the news and I like to think that I'm pretty up to date on what's going on in the world these days but I haven't come across any about compounding pharmacies.

    Good results with LDN

    I've been doing pretty good. About the same as always. Thanks for asking :smile: How about yourself?

    Good results with LDN

    I'm on entocort and LDN. Entocort isn't systemic like prednisone so I assume taking it at normal dose is just fine.

    Coconut Water?

    There is nothing wrong with a little fructose in moderation. Coconut water has less sugar than man-made sports drinks.

    Coconut Water?

    It's one of those things that you never know until you try. If you can tolerate it, then it will be an excellent way to replenish your electrolytes.

    How's your sex life?

    That sucks. I've been there. I don't think it is the cannabis! My libido is healthy now and it actually increased after I started taking LDN. Are you depressed? That has a huge effect on libido as I'm sure you know. The only suggestion I have is to try to get more cardio if you feel up to it...

    Has LDN helped you end a flare?

    You should get the flare under control before you start LDN because it takes a while to work, as others have stated. Have you tried Flagyl?

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    The only medical benefit I see for kratom is to help with opioid cessation. There has also been incidences where it has caused liver dysfunction. There are no medical papers on its use with Crohn's. I have been using cannabis off and on illegally for over 10 years with zero legal or medical...
