Hiya scout and welcome PHEW!! That was a close call! Good luck with the Humira, I started it 4 weeks ago, so fingers crossed for both of us! Joan xx

I've always mentioned going to A&E in situations that are serious, and yes, yours is, but until you have a firm diagnosis of an IBD, the problem is once you get there and you're seen by a doc, intern, locum, etc, you could be waiting up to 8 hours for a specialist. If you have a diagnosis then...

Hiya Amy What a tosser, I've never ever bled. With the best will in the world GPs don't know the ins and outs of specialist areas, that's why it's imperitive you get that referral. I agree about the walk in centres and A&E, don't go. Phone the GP surgery again, ask for a different doc, get the...

Hiya poorlygirl and welcome Can your parents help? Having a screaming insistant determined mad Mum on the phone to the hospital usually does the trick! It helps to talk, but no one will understand your pain, but we do, hopefully you'll find comfort here with us. Make that call, get your Mum on...

Stay strong (yeah it's hard) but there's hope on the Horizon. You can do it xxx

Hiya Katy and welcome I might be way off here but.... Why are you on 2 anti biotics, Clarithromycin and Amoxicillan? Have they told you that you have a bacterial infection? Only asking cos... I go into a massive flare and really sick with anti biotics/anti bacterials. Yeah they treat the...

Hiya Amy and welcome visit your GP and get a referral for a gastroenterologist. Don't be fobbed off by your GP refusing this referral cos it's IBS, you DO NOT bleed with IBS. Where your pains are, called the lower right quadrant LRQ, may indicate Crohn's. The pain radiates to the ribs, lower...

Hiya Gracie and welcome You're no longer alone with this, lots of friends here for you, any questions, don't be afraid to ask. Spend some time mooching around the sections on here. Or try the Crohns and Colitis UK http://www.nacc.org.uk/content/home.asp Lotsa luv Joan xxx

Hiya Rach and welcome Really hope the Humira works for you, I started it 3 weeks ago, and other than a mild rash, I've been ok. I was in hospital 3 years ago with the same as you, infected and blocked, on Pred and Flagyl too. It's good to have you here with us! Lotsa luv Joan xxx

Hiya Mary Yeah I believe it's helped me. It tends to keep me calm, it certainly did on steroids! xxx

Hiya Janice and welcome I was allergic to it, and it's sister Azathioprine. My skin became very inflamed, itchy, ended up bleeding with hives. This happened after 6 weeks with both meds, how long have you been on it? Is your doc aware of it? Hopefully someone else will chip in. xxx

Update My spotty rash is going and has stopped itching, thank God! I'm gonna take an anti histamine before I inject and for 2 days after or even just take one every day, cos I usually do in the Summer anyway! And it's on it's way. Allegedly! And the nurse said I can bring my shot forward to...

Hiya Eviebaby and welcome not so far from me! You'll make tons of new friends on here, everyone is amazing! I've just started Humira too, we can be Humira buddies! And...I got dating after splitting with my husband, and was very scared of telling him about the Crohn's, but he's been wonderful...

Hiya carr50 and welcome Good to have you with us. I can't tolerate iron tablets, they always upset my guts, how about asking for an iron infusion? I had one and felt so much better, fatigue wise. Also, if your Crohn's is in the ileum, ask if it's also in the terminal ileum. This is where we...

OMG!! I'm so itchy! I've got red bumps all over my legs, and everywhere else is itchy. I remember this happening with Azathioprine and 6MP. But they were more like hives, bleeding and itchy. These are red, hard lumpy bumps like I've been bitten by a mozzy. I've read about anti histamines before...

Hiya Steve, it's good to see you again, xxxx

Blimey!! I wish you lotsa luck n stuff, fingers crossed this brings you health & happiness xxx
