I think it could be either arthritis or sciatic nerve issues here also. I dont think it could be Crohns related really, although sometimes the pain in my side or abdom area in general will radiate to my back it has never effected my hip. I have a hip issue though, every since I was a kid for no...

Usually I take the excidren with food if they contain asprin, but there are also the asprin free type and they work just as well. I also lay down with a heating pad over my face or at the back of my neck, my heating pad is the best non-pill type of pain reliver I own (if you dont own one, buy...

LMAO, never knew dog poop was vulgar, then again I suppose most people don't deal with what we deal with. Just remember, when you find that you are getting close to the end of your rope... go to your local hardware store and buy more rope, then tie the 2 ropes together and then you have...

Aww sorry to hear you are so close to going under the knife tammy and pen :( I haven't noticed if the seasons make a difference but I've only been diagnosed a little over a year, so this year I will pay close attention and then this time next year I will know for sure :lol: If it does, as I...

yea, it sounds right, I just can't figure out why they didn't give you 10 mgs at least vs 5mgs jeesh thats alot of pills to begin with. I was on 20mgs twice a day for 40mgs daily, now I am on 30 mgs a day so I am taking 1 and a half 10 mgs twice a day, not sure what the next taper will be but I...

Also, is the show you are talking about based on Crohns or what? Don't know what the show is, but I do have to say I suppose it is nice to know that there is a kid show out there for kids who have Crohns, I am sure it helps them deal with it. We as adults have a problem understanding Dr talk so...

I can't load movies on dial up so I cant watch it... A show I am in love with that is for kids is called Wonder Pets, it is like all kid shows, simple and rather stupid, but something about those little pets running around saving other animals is just cute... then again I seriously love Ming...

I don't think I have the OCD, but I am going to talk to my Dr about my panic attacks soon, I think sometimes the overwhelming feeling that this is a never ending battle can get to all of us and lately I have been haveing alot of panic attacks and over all deppression, but just like you, when I...

Thanks for all the happy thoughts :) Right now I'm not doing too bad, I called the Dr and he up'd my pain pills, I am now on lortabs 10/500 and he said to call him and let him know how they work... they are better than what I was on, at least it takes the edge off so that I can think straight...

*hugz* chin up gurlie, your a fighter, thats what I think. Also maybe you could schedule the colonoscopy for a weekend if it is possisible, I know alot of hospitials dont like weekend work, but I am sure it can be arranged, school wont be out for another 3 months ish will it? If you need it now...

I have alot of headaches, I think alot of mine are related to the pred now a days, I swear by Excidren, it is over the counter and it'll KO any headaxche for me usually with in 15-20 mins. I personally think Excidren need to come out with a pain killer for the pains in my side, the Excidren back...

PS: I am seriously not feeling so good right now, I'll be on as much as I can be but it is for sure I am going to have to call my Dr tomorrow / later today / in about 4 hours.... right now I am going to lay down / hug my toilet... I'm throwin up again / gaging violently.... this is not good...

Nice to see that your Dr is treating you finally :) What mg are the pred pills ea? Mine are 10mg - 5 a day would be 50mgs so I am guessing yours can't be 10mg ea... right now I am takeing 1 and a half twice a day for a total of 30mgs a day, I was taking 2 pills a day 20mg each, but since Monday...

ouch!!!!!! One word: OUCH! once again I wake up due to this AWFUL pain in my side! Is it too much to ask for a full 8 hours of sleep?? Hell, an entire 2 hours of peaceful sleep with no waking up would be a great start! Lortabs suck! I finally taper to 30 mgs of pred... a 10 mg taper and my...

Glad to hear you are home again :) I been a little sidetracked these past coupple days but it happens to us all, I been wondering how you were though so I'm glad to know all is well. I might have never been to Oz but I know for a fact "theres no place like home"! So now you are home, hope you...

I suffer from really bad pain in general in the abdom area. The worst area is the upper right side, and it seems to get worse when I lay down. I had a Dr tell me it was a gravity issue, when I lay down my internal organs are shifting and I got the "turtle on its back" image in my mind. Needless...

Just so you know, I've been on pred now for a long time and as of the Monday my Dr started tapering me, but I still feel alot of my symptoms (mainly killer pain in my abdom areas) so I cant say that pred is a "cure all" for any of us, and sometimes it can take some time to find a treatment that...

Glad to hear back from you, the blood clot thing had me really worried, those are never good! Good luck on the appt, let us know how it goes. You might have a few more tests to go before they ever start to balance you out, but dont give up! We are all here for you. As far as the D goes...
