Why do some bosses do this? I am greatful that in my current job I can leave and not have to get someone to cover for me. My boss is very supportive. Calls me when I am sick to see how I am doing. I will admit that having a nurse as your boss makes this a little eaiser. Not so much explaining to...

Courtneyalice, I am sorry you are having a bad time. I tried Reicade once and it did nothing for me. It does sound like you have great support with your family. Trust me that makes a big difference. I have had my Crohns since I was about 15/16, but didn't actualy go to a doctor until I was 19...

Ohhh I get this too at times.... So annoying. I realy dont know if it is something I should mention to my GI, and then how do you go about tell him that. Excuse me, but is it normal for my butt hole to feel like something is crawling on it? lol

This is pretty intresting..... I have had heart issues too.. PVC's (palpations) It was so bad I was passing out. I have had 2 ablations, but still feel them at times. Not passing out anymore. I was on Asacol at the time and had been taking it for years. Now changed to Pentasa. This is pretty...

I realy don't know if this will help or not. I drink cup a soups... Liquid, easy, not much to think about with them. There are meds out there to help with your appetite. I hope you get better soon. Sorry, wish I could help you more :(

I love fruit and vegies, but they don't always love me. Broccoli I have not had any problems with. It has to be cooked close to the mush stage though.

Welcome... I was an ICU nurse... crohns kicked my butt... and now im a school nurse. What a jump that was.... Im loving it now, took a while to get used to though. Better doing this than shift work. Glad you joined you will find lots of support here. My husband is very suportive, but sometimes...

I think sometimes things like this is why my family have a hard time understanding this dx. I am currently in a flair, with the same s&s as you. Just bleeding, no D, little pain. I have learned to just go to the Dr as soon as this starts to try to get a hold on it. I have been to the dark side...

I understand. I have 2 cousins who have crohns. In my family they like to party, drink and eat whatever. Now I know that everyone is different and they have their bad days like we do.

I'm glad you are trying to find out more about CD. I am interested in herbal treatments, but I don't want to stop taking my meds. Does your mum know of any hearbal teas that work good. Got to be careful some hearbs interact badly with meds. But deff worth looking into. Thanks.

Jeannie, WOW girl you have been though it...... I've had CD for about 17 years now, and although I've had my moments I can not imagine going through what you did. I also want to say I am sorry you were not treated well by your nurses. That bothers me as I am one.. sorry. I am glad you joined the...

Welcome, congrats on getting married. You have GOT TO TAKE YOUR MEDS!!!!! For a long time when I was in my early 20's I was not the best at remembering to do this either. Nothing good came for it. Now I'm much better at remebering to take them. I have found that if I put my car keys beside my...
