Hi there and welcome, Hopefully you get the results of your test soon and that will ease your mind. It takes time to get a diagnosis and it is natural to worry, I did. We are all individuals in our symptoms and also our treatment. So try not to compare with others but deal with how you feel...

Hi there and welcome, I was diagnosed with Diverticulitis years ago and on meds for that. Other stuff happened to me like having a stone in the kidney, before severe pain 3 years ago led to Crohns diagnosis. I could not eat . I hope it turns out not to be Crohns as that is not an easy one. I...

Hi there, and welcome I do understand how hard it is as it takes some time for diagnosis, and then finding the right meds that suit you. I had a kidney stone years ago, excruciating pain, which I passed at home. I was only diagnosed with Crohns 3 years ago and was told it was the Crohns...

Hi there, Paul, I do understand. You obviously suffer from clinical depression so you need to speak to your doctor about how you feel. It will be difficult for you coping with both illnesses, but there is always light at the end of the tunnel. I lost some friends who did not understand what...

Hi there and welcome, I was on Remicade infusions and did well until I took a lung infection. Other meds did not work for me, or I had to come off because of side effects. It is like that, we are all individuals and we respond as such to treatment. I am currently well but I am having further...

Hi there, I get a Faecal Calprotectin test every 4 months as part of my on going checks with my Consultant. I do have Crohns so it is higher than another person without. Unfortunately, my last test was sky high so I am now having further investigations, scans etc. Were you duagnosed with...

Hi there, and welcome, I am sorry you are having a difficult time. It does take time to get over surgery so they could be right about your gallbladder. Crohns is more than pain and diarr.. I was originally diagnosed with Diverticulitis and was on meds which did little. Often I went to...

Hi Jennifer, Thank you. I will have a look at that. However, here in the U.K. they seem to have a set formula for treatment. I feel we do not have the same choice when I read of other meds on the forum! I hope and pray that my results show I can go on as I am . I am aware, however, that...

Hi Jennifer, Yes, I was on Azathioprine for two days! I suddenly developed Pancreatitis because of it. It took me weeks to recover from the pain. I have a problem with reactions to meds, my Consultant says I am super sensitive to the ingredients! So. I was put on Methotrexate injections...

Hi there, Be informed, I am. Remember what I said though, we are all individuals. I am currently well but I have been having investigations over the last few weeks as my Calprotectin results were sky high. I am concerned about that but make the most of my good times ! Let me know how you...

Hi there and welcome, Remicade worked for me when all meds failed. Yes, I did have to come off it as I took a lung infection, but I am now well and taking steroids. It is natural to be afraid of side effects, I was. I only agreed as nothing else worked. When you are ill you have to do what...

Hi there and welcome, I actually had Crohns for years before it was diagnosed 3 years ago, after it all came to a head. Pain and diahr...were the order of the day for some time: that is a flare up. After trial of several meds, I eventually got well on Remicade infusions. I am off that and...

Hi there, so sorry you are feeling bad. I am sure you know having had Crohns for years, that simple pain killers do not do it. I was in pain for two years, reacted badly to meds and eventually was on Remicade infusions which did the trick. So you need a good Consultant who explains your...

Hi there and thank you. I am actually feeling fine. I gave myself Methotrexate injections and was not happy about it. After 4 months, it did not work. I suppose I need to wait test results and take it from there.

Hi there and welcome, how are you coping with Crohns? Nice news you are pregnant. First? Best wishes.

My last two Calprotectin tests were sky high : went from 1200 to 900! I am currently having tests to see what is going on with me. I had a C.T. scan and then a Gastroscope last week. I was on Remicade infusions two years ago until I ended up in hospital with a lung infection, so ill. I...
