Mouth ulcers.... I had them bad when I was a teenager before I was dx. I never had night sweats until this last flair. I woke up and thought I was going to melt into a puddle. My PJ's were stuck to me and I had to chage the bed sheets as they were realy damp. I turned a floor stand fan on and...

WOW you have alot going on. I am sorry you are going through so much. Every job I have worked at the HR department always seems difficult to deal with. Why is that? Just keep putting one foot infront of the other and keep going. My best friends mom would always tell us to...wipe the sh*t from...

Ok so I am dealing with a flair and have been slowly getting better. I am trying to get into a physical routine and get healthy, so I decided to start swimming. I'm thinking, good for my joints, relaxing and easy. So here is the funny that happend to me. I get to the pool at my gym and decide...

I like to do yoga, have been doing it now for a few weeks and so far so good. I like walking it seems to help, uaualy just around my block. The dog seems to love it too. I have recently just started swimming. It feels very calming in the water and my joints feel good after.

Hi Allypaige, I agree with David, I was very low on vit B & D and didn't think about till I found this site. I had bad leg pain, did the blood work, now on a supplement and leg pain is better. Not gone, but better. Congrats on your baby. As for staring something like Humiara I am currently...

Hummmm are these realted.... hummmm just wondering Just venting So my parents are flying in from Ireland to visit at the end of this month. I have been in a nasty flair this past month and am trying everything I know to get out of it. I am getting a little nervous as my mom tries to be...

When we are at a family/friend function, and you have lots of ymmy food. If I choose not to eat anything... .LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!! I hate it when I am made to feel guilty that I am not eating the nice food you spent time preparing for everyone. Please stop putting pressure on me to 'just try a...

Thanks, will try these. Woops!

I hope you get some anwsers tomorrow. I am sorry that in the past your visit with him did not go well. Would you be able to take someone with you? It might be nice to have the support of a good friend or family member with you while you are with this doctor. I don't know about you but for me in...

If this has already be posted please direct me to the tread. I am trying to get rid of this flair and it has become very clear to me that fish is going to be my best option these days. I can bake it in the oven with salt pepper and lemon, or I can pan fry (with just cooking spray.. no butter, or...

This is what I 'try' to eat during a flair... some may work for you other not. One thing that helps is all the foods I list I will only eat about 4 table spoons at a time. I find that the less pressure I put in my belly the better Instant mashed potatoes Baked chicken Baked fish (usually salmon...

It may turn out to be nothing, but just to rule it out I would go and get it checked. If it turns out to be nothing then you will at least know.

Grumbeltum. I do good with seafood. It is a bit expensive, but worth it. Sadley no sugar for me. Chicken is ok.... but... I realy can't do too much of it. I think it just sits a little heavier on my belly. At the min NOOOO veggies, but I have been able to juice carrots and apples. Wating for...

I would contact your family Dr. The ER will focus on what your main complaint is.. chest pain.. so they will run all tests for that. Did you tell the ER you were having other issues? The ER will help you if you go to them, but they will also set you up with a GI doctor. Just my opinion, but I...

I have BCBS, I don't mind wating, but it just feels like forever. When my MD told me on May 10th that he would order it he told me it would take about a week and 1/2. I really like my MD and the nurses at his office, and don't want to become the patient that they don't want to anwser the phone...

LOL thanks, sometimes with this disease I have to find things to laugh about or I will cry. I do think that I may have to break up with red meat... to heavy on the belly, not worth it. Love your break up letters. Woops!

I am just trying to understand if this is normal or if I should be a little more pushy with my insurance or MD. Bad flair, started the dreaded pred on May 2nd. MD visit on the 10th and decided on Humira. Now I know my insurance needs to approve it and it comes in the mail, but I have been...

Rant away... we all do it from time to time. Yikes you are dealing with alot. I feel for ya... about 7 years ago I was finishing nursing school (yeah no pressure there) and going though a divorce all within the same few months. Result was a nice flair... lost of pred, just what you want when you...

I am so sorry you are going though all this. I don't know much about the medication that you are on, but I do know that you should tell you doctor that you do want to be sedated for your next colonscopy. Patients have rights, and if they are hurting you while doing your next scope they must stop...

I understand. Even when I was not flairing I had troubble sleeping, now with the pred it just seems worse. In the past I have used Melatonin (sp?) it is an over the counter product. It never left me drowsey. I have recently been doing yoga and that seems to help. I also find that if I take my...
