I got ignored for 8 years before I got diagnosed and like with you, I was put on alot of "brian numbing" pills so I can relate to that... and no, they dont help you at all. I'd also be shocked if this isn't Crohn's, it sounds like it. You might have to go in for another colonoscopy to get a...

Just wanted to say welcome, you and I joined this forum around the same time and i never did post here but I have how ever read this post probably at least once a day, just didn't exactly know what to say or how to say it. I have been diagnosed for little over a year now but it seems nothing has...

I have to admitt, I can't say that the needles are my best friend and we all know the prep is an absolute nightmarre and then some, but I'd have to say I actually look forward to the colonoscopy or should i say the results of it. Not only is it something that we all have to or at least should...

haha Dan, I like the idea of a sober driver and you are right, us girls do like responsible guys. Also i agree with what you just said, check with the Dr and i wouldn't reccomend drinking while in a bad flair or well... even if its not bad but to the point of not good either, once again that is...

Also, I dont think I have ever heard of diverticular disease , could you maybe fill me in on it a little, a brief discription of it. I promiss I will be googling it just to get a better picture, but if it is anything at all like Crohns then the symptoms will vary for miles so I'd like to know...

first of all :welcome: glad to get to meet you , so sorry it has to be under the circumstance but we all share in it and like kello said, alot of good friends are to be made here, friends that you would never have the chance to meet under any other circumstance I suppose, so there is one good...

hahahaha.... I must say kello, you have one of the most positive and simply put friendly pictures on here, can't help but think good thoughts and smile when you see it. A picture is worth a thousand words but yours is worth more like 2000 :)

Seriously folks.... i cant live without solid food and it seems as if I can't find one single diet around here that involves food.... Good luck and let us know how it works for you, I dont think I'd be able to handle it. Just fasting for the colonoscopy fails for me, I have always been a big...

yea, 700 miles is a biggie :( and I must add, aren't you mr. popular around here, I tried to send you a Pm but couldn't because you are maxed out :lol:

yea, but as far as any type of "treatment" for a Crohns symptom, I must say that whiter teeth is seriously one of few GOOD side effects :lol:

I'll keep everyone up to date, since finding this place it has seriously made me feel so much better emotionally just knowing everyone here fully understands it all! Glad to know that I will be going to a good place, seriously knowing someone else who goes where I will be going is yet another...

Weeeelllllll, now I know why I feel like...."crap"! Didnt know this... was a seasonal thing too. Your not alone... litterally the blood, sweat, tears, nausea, heartburn like crazy, REALLY BAD PAIN IN MY SIDES, aches, and pains are killing me right now :( Cept instead of D, I am dealing with the...

wow... sorry that was so long :redface: ...... got alot on my mind tonight I guess, both good and bad... but I also wanted to add, I will be checking this thread anytime I notice a new post so please keep this going and keep gathering information and for those of you on it now, PLEASE keep us...

Well, if no one read it on any other post then I will give the details here. maybe due to all the Dr's I have delt with in my past I went in today with determination and for the most part ready to get another "new Dr" because I figured he would simple dismiss the idea before even hearing what...

I am seriously pushing for LDN treatment, but after what I saw come out of me today (the dark black stools and alot of mucus) I would seriously take anything.... I am almost to the point of fearing the tapering of the pred will spiral me into the hospitial... dark stools and mucus is always the...

Im bout 2 hours from Hershey, Im just across the state line. I live in WV, you prolly have no clue where my town is so I'll make it ez for ya and just say that I am about 20 mins east of Morgantown WV, driving to Hershey would be nothing if it works and I can get on it.... right now, I'd be...

glad to hear you are doing so much better though, it really does give me some hope for the future and right now, i really need that! :)

I am very nausuated right now, think half of it is emotional since I just started tapering today

well, i began taper today... long thread on everything about today is somewhere... kindda balling like a baby at the moment. I am on B12, calcium, Vit c, multi, vit D, and... seriously I take well over 15 vit's a day, my mom passed that and herbs on to me, she has always been big into and Im...
