okay - 3 months... I tried. been a long day

a little over a month and 1/2. I would insist however I think about the people who are needing them and are likely worse off than me. I am in no hurry to have this procedure done - but knowing it is scheduled makes me think they are listening. No donnatal for me...

..lol..no it's not Some of my best times are around a table eating with good people. I dont like being on liquids only even if it does feel better. I LOVE FOOD

What was that Joan? "Life is for living" :D

hey Dex I am waiting for the ct enteroclysis - studying the same areas, just going a different way about doing it.

Thank-you Crohn's Mom.. that is nice of you to say I do it because I have really great supportive people. Here and the advocates off-line :)

Hi Joan, yes - the blood work would have ruled that out. I remember them testing for that. Also, if you google "thickening of the bowel wall" everything that comes up is IBD or something a little more sinister - so considering I think I have a lot of all the symptoms a lot of people on here...

Crohn Disease of the Small Bowel: Preliminary Comparison among CT Enterography, Capsule Endoscopy, Small-Bowel Follow-through, and Ileoscopy Amy K. Hara, MD, Jonathan A. Leighton, MD, Russell I. Heigh, MD, Virender K. Sharma, MD, Alvin C. Silva, MD, Giovanni De Petris, MD, Joseph G. Hentz, MS...

it was the MRI's that detected the strictures and thickening of the bowel wall. Im not sure what else can cause that so if anyone else has some ideas, please chime in. I was told that the images arent as clear as they would like so want something more nuanced. The CT entrocrolysis does detect...

Thanks Misty - I have already asked Keona if she wants to go for a run and I got that familiar head tilt and bulging eyes. I am glad she remembers what that word means :) She is so very excited - I think she started without me :) I think the problem lies with the nurses at the office and the...

I just wanted to say that I really don't know what to say... wow.... hugs to you

the string is a suture that has not dissolved yet. She said it will in time so nothing to worry about. She also agrees that something else must be going on other than endometriosis. I made the decision to hold off on Lupron as it sounds worse than the actual disease itself. As far as the...

Ha..funny how you mention happening in threes. My sinuses are still congested and while I was away I slept very little as I was hacking or my sinuses got so congested I couldnt breathe. There seems to be a lot of people around me with the same thing going on so I am wondering it it is a cold...

lol.. I told him its not worth risking all of my school/career, etc. He wasn't happy but oh well.. Im not the best person to be asking to do illegal stuff with. I think I really took him off guard when I started to laugh hysterically when he told me... As far as the sinuses... it is...

Ha Ames... want to hear something else... hope you're sitting.. I have been dating this guy now for a bit and like him and last night he sprung on me that he has three grow-op's.. HAHAHAHAHA.... I know its not funny but it is just my luck!! One of the first questions I asked him was "do you...

Hi K I dont blame you for feeling down. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. I have a friend who was initially diagnosed with Crohn's disease and then endometriosis and also has diabetes. Have you ever been checked for Lupus? She seems to have a lot of diseases as well and it took them...

I thought it may be a cold because the kid I was chasing around (wiping his nose) was also sick. I have had it for almost a week. A lot of people here seem to be getting sick starting with sore throat first. I have some reactine I got free as a sample so I may try that and see what happens...

That is interesting. After my very first MRI, I had constipation for 17 days. I had D up until that point. They found strictures in that MRI and they never told me to drink lots of water either... AND..it was all orange too :) I am so glad you dont have to have surgery but I am sorry you...

Hang in there Andrea!! I am so sorry you are having a hard time :( My heart goes out to you. You can do this.. you ARE strong - you are going through a really rough patch right now and will come out of it stronger than ever!! Please remember this is temporary!!! Please take good care of...
