I would have thought your GI would suggest having a c section because you have fistulas. I don't have fistulas but have active disease and large skin tags in that area and my GI has said it would be best to have a c section so I don't cause myself any damage in labour. I think if your Ibd is...

I have had a good few days as I have taken leave from work for a week and it feels so good being away from the stress. We have been sorting through the house getting rid of old stuff and got some nice new furniture and it has made me feel much better getting everything sorted. Today has been a...

It's not the nicest it has taken me a long time to get used to it. Like you say though it could be its something you are more prone to because of the meds/disease. I hate going to the dentist so I just do everything I can to try and keep away lol. I had a gum infection last Xmas it was horrible...

Have you tried flossing as well as what you are already doing? It may not solve all the problems you are having but it may help, It's amazing what brushing doesn't get rid of. I suffer from gum inflammation on and off I guess its to do with the disease and medications but flossing has helped to...

We have only been trying 9 months but its hard having patience especially waiting to see if "it" turns up. I am currently waiting I am sure it's going to be here in a few days broken out in a few spots and sore back. Did you have to have any screening before IUI memmy? I am giving it 12 months...

I don't have sarcoidosis but my aunt has suffered with it for years. Where is it at the moment? Hers was on her face, in her gums, throat and lungs. She found the combo of a short course of steroids along with methotrexate really helped get things under control. Are you having any treatment at...

I also have arthritis that is independent of flares it is really upsetting especially when you are told when your crohns is under control so will the arthritis. It's hard some days to carry on and I really wish the humira works soon for you but like maya said it can take a bit longer to work...

Nothing really to report here we are still trying but with no luck yet. I have been struggling mentally but I am starting to feel a bit better now. I have been flaring too and have lost around 16lbs but the weight loss has stopped now and I am holding out but it does make you feel like it's...

I have rosacea too ever since I have started cimzia but I guess now it could just be crohns and not the medication. I use double base gel which is prescribed for the dryness but I was told by my dermatologist it's really hard to do anything about getting rid of the rosacea. They did suggested a...

Yeah I understand about trying to balance work I used to do shifts and found it tough. If you are having more upper symptoms it might be better to have a gastroscopy rather than an colonoscopy but like you say that could be further down the line. If you haven't had h pylori done it may be worth...

I wouldn't give up if you are in a lot of discomfort, have you had a scope to check it all out? Have you been tested for h pylori?

Do you know what method they are using? As one is more sensitive to diet than the other. I found this on labtestsonline: Vitamin C, on the other hand, interferes with the chemical reaction and prevents the colour formation that should occur when blood is present (a false negative result)...

You may not have had a response yet as it is the school holidays in the uk plus the post was made in working hours. I have only just seen this now so others may see this soon. I can't suggest anywhere to you unfortunatley as I don't know how it all works with people from over seas. Are you...

It seems to be a common problem with the nhs of having to wait a long time to see anyone some hospitals have PALS they sometimes go by different names but they may be able to give you some more advice and see if you could get an appointment sooner. If you are taking an NSAID'S like ibuprofen it...

Fissures can bleed a lot I have had them drip non stop and had to wear pads to catch the blood. Sorry if that seems a bit to much info but just want to say how much they can bleed and seem like its something else. Still I think it really needs to be checked out especially if the its a lot of...

Sorry to hear you are in pain, did they take any bloods whilst you were in the hospital? Does it feel like a pain in the joints or bone? I have enteropathic arthritis in my hips and other joints and when it's really bad the pain can radiate. Did they just check the one are on ct?

I agree with axel it sounds like its would be best to go an see a dr. What treatment are oh on now? It may be you need to have a some steroids if it is really bad just to get you to a point that is more bearable. A pain killer I was prescribed before is codeine I found it quite strong though and...

I had pancreatitis with 6mp and azathioprine the Drs wanted me to try both. I was hospitslised both times first after non- stop vomiting and my GP sending me to the hospital and second time I was in so much pain my mum had to call an ambulance. It really is horrible to deal with I have never had...

Thanks afidz and sending hugs to you too. I have been to a support group for chronic illness before but I was the youngest there, it would have been nice to be with people around my age and maybe with similar issues. Also as I introduced myself some dick (sorry about the language but it still...

I have felt like posting on the forum for a while but haven't been able to have the courage to do so. I am struggling at the moment I feel stuck and don't know what to do. I am currently on cimzia but not doing all that well. Don't get me wrong I am no where near as bad as I was but I still...
