Tired, tired, and more tired. Work is kicking my butt this week :thumbdown:

I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I wanted to be pregnant as well...did the whole fertility thing and then was told I was not a good candidate for any type of assisted reproductive procedures (ex. IVF). I feel the same emotions you do...happy for others, but sad for myself. Every birth...

The only time I have had a feeling like that it was a muscle spasm.

Good luck! My Dr gave me the results at a follow up appt 2 weeks after. I didn't have any bathroom urgency with the prep.

Thanks for the replies. I will mention the weight loss to the Dr. If it continues.

I have a lot of stress going on in my life right now. I don't necessarily feel like I am on the verge of of a flare, but definitely have some odd things going on. -I don't drink a lot, but when I do I feel like I either never really feel drunk or I get drunk super fast...like there is no in...

I was not told to take calcium with Entocort. I wouldn't think osteoporosis would develop that quickly unless you were already at high risk. I would talk to the Dr asap.

I know the endoscopy and colonoscopy is so they can visually see what's going on inside you. The tests don't always give a complete picture. I would tell the Dr as well about concerns with taking another shot.

I'm not great with battling stress but some things that have helped are: -venting! Sometimes I just have to let out the frustration and move on. -reading...this helps me before bed so I don't just lay there thinking about all the stressful things I need to do. -adult coloring books...ordered...

I usually do not ever get colds or the flu. My husband gets sick, but I luckily have not gotten sick in years at this point...knocking on wood! The last cold I remember getting was a really bad sore throat a few years ago. But...I have allergies almost year round. :(

Sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. Sending you HUGS.

Welcome to the forum! I too thought what I was experiencing at first was just stress related. I didn't see a Dr until I couldn't eat without excruciating pain or vomiting after. I have Crohn's in the colon only, also had pain behind belly button and lower right quadrant. I never went to the...

I had to drink contrast before, they gave it to me while in the waiting room. When I went in she told me she was injecting the dye and it would make me feel like I peed myself...it did...but not to worry, because it's just the dye. I just laid on the machine and it told me when to breath...in a...

Not sure what you have in the UK. I take Jarro-Dophilus by Jarrow (buy it at the grocery store). My GI also has recommend Align or Culturelle (both over the counter). He specifically said to not take Yakult just saying it's no good. I have heard when you start one to start it gradually. I...

Mostly I don't try to explain it to people, but I have said something like: -My body is attacking itself in the digestive tract. I only have it in the large intestine so that is where I have ulcers and inflammation. It causes a lot of pain daily and makes me not want to eat because that causes...

I am sorry you are having a hard time. When I was very ill and newly diagnosed I felt like a burden to my husband and wondered the same...how could he still be with me after all this? I have learned to let that go...he's with me and I am with him. Don't question it, just feel lucky you found...

I'm hoping it's just stress for you. Fingers crossed. My flares seem to get bad quickly meaning diarrhea and pain after eating. Not sure how much warning anyone else gets for a flare starting. Let us know how your test goes!

My nurse from my last colonoscopy said to get sedation for an endoscopy.

I love salty snacks! I'm the weirdo in the family that doesn't have a sweet tooth.

Glad to hear you are doing well after the procedure.
