Hey Ames I hope the B-12 shots are helping. I agree with Dusty - you are valued here on this site and I hope you take care of numero uno!! I have heard a B-6 deficency is a cause of chapped lips. http://www.nutrasanus.com/vitamin-b6.html

Hey Old Crohnie I remember the drug prepulsid/cissipride all too well. I was also on it a long time ago and they pulled it from the market because it was causing people to have heart disease/attacks and I believe there were a few deaths as a result. I also remember losing A LOT of weight while...

I dont have any kids so I will just be proud of everyone else's :D

I did have an allergy test once where they scratched part of my back and then put some stuff on it but I had taken a gravol that day and learned later that it probably screwed up my test. I havent had one since. I have thought about doing it again. I hope I didnt give the wrong impression but...

lol..Ohhhhhh..ya, I know what that is. He's hogging stuff...that's a good sign :)

Thank-you Dusty.yes, I do have good support people on my side, no doubt about that. They are still helping me to find a doctor and they are taking some of the frustration off my back by doing some of the leg work for me. I think they are getting just as frustrated. I am going to see if I can...

Hi Kiny Hope the test went okay and please let us know what happened. I know for me, they said they wouldnt call unless they found something. Not sure how it works where you are. The waiting is sometimes the hardest part. How did you find the test?

haha.. "normal little boy stuff" now THAT makes me smile :D

Thank-you all for your responses. I am doing okay., actually had a great night because the person I nominated for an award won. It was a lot of work (I needed to gather 5 letters of support, write a letter of nomination myself and also write a profile of the person.) This person has done a...

I wish we had health care like that. I am going to respond to that when I return. Had a doctors appointment with my clinic today as I went to the other clinic doc and they had to turn me away. She sent me to the nurse who basically gave me a number I already have to get a new doctor. So, that...

I had the MRE's as well. It was a breeze. They gave me 4 large glasses of orange flavoured metemucil mixed with something else. Drink it quick as it gets thicker the longer you leave it. If it is this test, ask them to make it as cold as possible - much much easier to get down (I've had 3...

hmm see and i have worked with a lot of homeless individuals and I have heard that b/c pancakes and syrup and other crappy food is cheap...that is what they eat. I know people who couldn't afford to eat so they have bought and lived on chocolate bars or the like...because it is cheap. They are...

DONE! WOo-Hoo.. Go Jack!!

need info : refined sugar and IBD anyone have any articles on refined sugar and IBD? I am getting really tired of people saying the reason why people have IBD is because of the amount of sugar they eat and that is the cause. I have tried to explain that they don't know what causes IBD but...

Hope you have a FANTASTIC day and MANY MORE :)

yes - the fatigue for me is the worst. At least with pain there is something to help that. My blood is normal as well (as far as I know). I tried everything i can think of to get some energy

Hey Andrea.. HAVE A GREAT WEEK :)

I am glad to hear that you are okay, but sorry you had to go through that - sounded scary!! Wow... you have a lot of strength Andrea!!

yes, I know the feeling. I made sure I didnt have anything acidic...no juice or tomatoes .. which I am sure your tongue would have let you know. I was told to gargle with salt water.. I did but it still took awhile. Dex probably has the right answer....

Yes... I think this is a good move. I am also going to get help with writing a letter and others are willing to write letters on my behalf as well. I don't know where to send them yet or if the letters will even do anything but it is another option. I have taken the suggestions..I cut back...
