    Burning butt hole

    I get that all the time. It feels like acid right on your anus. It's like a cycle for me. I can be afflicted by that for a week and after that I am fine for a while. I try to fart and the air itself feel;s like fire. Going to the bathroom is a real pain. And once you are clean it can burn for...

    How long before remicade works?

    I just got my 15th treatment yesterday. It still works. Mine started to work after 4 or 5th one. Be patient it takes a bit of time for your system to get better.

    Remicade and the FLU!

    I hope you will be getting better soon. Hospitals can be a drag. We sometimes forget that even in hospitals you can get incompetent people. They exist in every field. As for the flu I have not gotten the flue in the last 3 years even on remicade. I get the shot every year. I have three kids and...

    Flu shot

    I always get the flu shot every year, 2 weeks before or after as per my GI. No reason to stress the immune system. IN the last 5 years I had 0 flu. Even with my three kids sick as hell at home I get nothing at all. A non live vaccine is only information dictating to your immune system what to...

    I just want to give up!

    God dang plague... Sometimes we have to wonder what life would be like if we were not in pain all the time. You should cut back on your activities. The stress of everything you have to do must not be helping you and the pain. Good luck to you

    Should I go in?

    If it's going to coast you 100K just for a visit then I understand why you a reluctant to go in. As everybody else said it's your health and maybe you life that is on the line so if the pain is unbearable then you should go in. If you decide not to go in and wait for the insurance to kick in...

    So tired

    I am also always tired. At work I sleep in my car during my lunch hour to try and make it through the day. Sleeping through the night is never easy with dierreah. I have three kids aged 10 12 and 14 and when they want me to play with them at night I am way to tired. You are not alone. Crohn's...

    Did your parents have Crohns?

    My parents do not have any problems with their gut. I was Dx when I was 11 with this plague. Nobody in my immediate family has any gut problem. One exception my aunt has colon cancer. That's the only thing.

    Hello there, Pain...... it's like an old friend to me. Seems I've been in pain most of my life. It goes from the joints to the stomach to the anus to gas to everything. There are days when I think I just want to quit and give it all up. But then I would have to give up sex and that just won't...

    Prednisolone and Losing weight

    The only time I look healthy is when I take pred LOL The good thing though is that when you stop you usually loose the weight. I use to weight 235 lbs and for the last 6 years I have lost weight and I am now at 175. If I go any lower my GI will kill me.
