allie- Please beg, plead, bribe, the doctors to check your protein levels- and other nutritional needs. The limping could be from low levels. Doctors seem to overlook this. It is a simple blood test. Hugs! Wendy

I am trying very hard to not cry and to not lose it here at the office. I was okay until my husband called. He knows I am in an open office and I can not discuss home issues yet he persists in calling me about them. Sometimes they are important and I step outside and handle. I know he needs...

I light a candle for my brother in law who passed away on New Year's Eve. ...Rob Z. you are missed and SOS at Myrtle Beach will not be the same this year.

I am a LDN newbie. I started LDN November 24, 2010. I started at the 4.5ml dosage (I buy the 50mg Naltrexone and disolve it in distilled water) but had to lower the dosage. I now take 4.0ml a day. Your body will let you know if you need to adjust the dosage. The positives I have experienced...

Prednisone made me a WITCH. I cried, I screamed, I yelled, I whimpered. My anxiety levels were off the charts high on the nasty drug. The taper off created flaring. I will definitely ask about the prednisolone if I ever need steroids again. Thanks Joan for posting this. Wendy

One or two rice krispie treats are okay.....but days of eating them....welllll....I was late to work this morning....I did not even bother with turkey. It always upsets my stomach.

Hugs Susan! I am from upstate SC and the snow was beautiful. I was an evil mom at times and my crew are adults now. I hope you are feeling better, Wendy

Thanks David. I will be pm-ing you after Christmas. I am looking at a couple of gyms in my area. Happy Holidays! Wendy

You might have Crohn's if.... ....your kitten passes gas and your hubby jumps up and says "Honey, how is your tummy? Do you need a pill?" ....your hubby keeps air freshener with him at all times. ....your children ask you how many poops you have had today. ....you go to your fave restaurant...

Hi Andy- I use LDN. The only side effects - about a week of restless sleep with some wild dreams and a funky "high" if I stayed up to long after taking it. Doctors do not like to prescribe it. There are studies on it. Search for low dose naltrxone on the net. I have had very good results...

Mr. Z.... I used to be very fit. I worked out 4 or 5 times a week with weights and 5 to 6 times a week doing cardio. I eat pretty much as outlined above. My issue is this, I was very ill several years ago and lost most of my muscle mass. This happened in '07-'08. I am still weak but I would...

I went to the social security disability website to make sure... You earn "credits" when you work. If you do not have the "credits" from the past 10 years you can not draw disability but you may be eligible for SSI. Go on the website and explore. It will help you understand when you talk...

Prayers, positive thoughts, hugs, and assorted crossed body parts.....Lil miss claire will have good results (repeating in my mind). Let us know the results. You are a terrific mom! I am 46 and my mom still calls me and says "Have you heard anything yet?" Hugs to you! Wendy aka Breezy

I would call just to be sure. It never hurts to ask questions. You may just not have enough in you to have a bm. Wendy

Thanks guys! I knew to expect the dreams and there were some wild ones but the nausea and tiredness was unexpected. My hubby is thrilled to see the perkiness more often. I think he is tired of saying, "Let's get you some food." I woofed down an entire meal the other night and he was...

There is a cinnamon bagel that is delicious. I can only eat 1/4 of it at a time. I don't often eat spelt bread- I don't often eat bread. The sandwich rolls are really good and the tortillas are too. The pasta is not too bad. Takes a little getting used to.

19 years and counting for official diagnosis but in reality 40 years. Sometimes I think we are going backwards in treatment. I am a product of alternative treatments. One of the best things for nausea is Blackberry wine or Blackberry juice. I would get nauseated and my dad would rock me and...

Thank you all. I started LDN 2 wks ago and I have experienced some weirdness. I found you all, read all the posts, and I now understand the weirdness. The good news- I can already feel a difference in my body.:panda: Wendy

I swear by Boswellia. It helps with pain and inflammation.

Good morning Sic O Crohns, I was going thru the same thing you are in 2008. I reached the point that I could not walk without assistance. My nutritional levels were very low. My OBGyn sent me to a vascular surgeon. His theory was to let someone else look since I was not getting relief. The...
