I am an accountant. High levels of stress right now. Probably closing the company I work for in a month or so. I have worked full time with lots of overtime, raised 3 children, and maintained a fairly active social life (there are times I am a couch potato, tho). I help my hubby run his...

I am in my late 40s and my mom still "falls apart" if I have a major flare. The mini-flares now just upset her. I have been dx'd for 20 years. I think it is natural. You do get better at understanding and decision making. Wendy

LC- Great news. I love Boswellia. I use Angstrom liquid iron. I taste horrible but it works for me. It is an ionized iron 'water'. It is extremely absorbable. It has really helped me. Good luck and good health! Wendy

Hi there Gabismommy! Great to see another South Carolinian on the board. Good luck with the surgery tomorrow. Wendy

mmoors, It takes a combination of natural treatment, diet, and a dash of Spiritual treatment in my humble opinion and experience. The Spriritual side is along the basis of acceptance, patience, and healing old emotional wounds. Yoga and meditation help the process. Boswellia is my preferred...

Misty- I experienced something similar on 6mp. The weight gain was scary. The weight gain decreases but when I stopped 6mp....Niagra Falls look out. I pee'd a lot. I do this with Prednisone, too. Running to the potty every 30 minutes or so. I really think you need to get the blood work...

Happy Belated Birthday David! We celebrated my son's birthday last Sunday. I baked his favorite cake...Peanut Butter. Peanut Butter in the cake, Peanut Butter Cream Icining in the middle and on the top...and...chocolate fudge incing on the sides. One piece is okay... 2 pieces everyday until...

Yes, Lowone, there is a remission. I have spent most of my life after the diagnosis in remission. I am there now. I have raised 3 beautiful children, maintained a career, traveled, laughed, played, and pretty much enjoyed my life. It takes effort to achieve remission and one plan does not...

twob- my nephew came very close to needing a liver transplant from taking creatine. Definitely stick to the organic protein. The chemicals in the mainstream powders are unbelievable. Wendy

Somedays standing in the shower to change is a good thing. *hugs* Wendy

I remember those days. My kids are grown and no longer live with Mommy. They are now my "caregivers" when needed. They pitch in and help. If one of the boys calls me and I sound the least bit yucky, they want to drop everything and bring me "something". A couple of years ago, the three of...

Week 1 done. It is amazing what happens when you practice yoga. I am turning loose of some very old emotional baggage.

Gulu and Social- There is hope and a future. I am a long time Crohnie and I have had my ups and downs but I have a very full and satisfying life. The bad days are less severe and less frequent. I am back in full remission. I have learned one of the most important things with this disease is...

*hugs* Wendy

Day 1 down... David, I am an accountant with a TON of stress right now. Trying to keep this company open and out of bankruptcy. Any good "at your desk" poses to help me thru the day? I really appreciate this thread and you. Wendy

I am 47 and I still want my mommy! There is nothing like mommy leaning over and kissing your forehead. Yep, what Jill said.

Julie-Come on down. I have some homemade blackberry wine that will cure what ails you. Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers. Wendy

I really cannot believe what my mom just said to me. She told me I had to learn to not let my job get to me. I am so over being told I should not have emotions and feelings. I think I will go off if one more person tells me to calm down or get over it. Ugh. I would not have Crohn's if I just...

Stephanie- I think that is a good plan. L-glut is very healing and if taken on an empty stomach helps stop the big D. Probiotics really help me as long as I eliminate certain foods. Really and truly, the symptoms will not calm down until the digestive system is happy. I came off of the...

Snowday- yes, o.m.g.....The docs really told me to eat hot dogs. It was the most unreal meeting I have experienced. Shannon- hugs.
