Thanks Gra Aura and taylorali I bet I'm the one with tons of energy, hence the reason why I couldn't sleep!!

Hiya tots I'm ok!! I felt sick last night about an hour after the shot but I feel fine now. I just went to bed but really felt dizzy, like a room spinner when you're drunk! When are you having yours Lauren? xx

Hiya melwitch and welcome We're glad you found your way here, you're no longer alone! Why is your Crohn's too active for surgery? Where is it located? Have you had your blood work done lately to check for Vitamin B12 deficiencies? Anaemia? Sorry for the questions but it helps us. Hope the new...

Thanks peeps So, I did my shot Tuesday night, and even tho I'm on Amitriptyline I tossed n turned all night and was very hot. Felt a bit sick too. Sooooo tired today too! I want to ask, my next shot is in 2 weeks time, on a Tuesday. Would it be ok to wait a few more days and do it Friday night...

Hiya cupcakes and welcome I've had this in the past, I know exactly what you mean by 'paper cuts!' I use Canesten, but not the one from the chemist which is over the counter for thrush. It's precribed by the doc and it's Canesten HC which contains 1% Hydrocortisone, a topical steroid. The...

I'm a newbie to Humira, had my first shots 2 weeks ago. Next one is tomorrow. Can I ask, when is the best time to do the shots, morning, evening, bedtime? I'm thinking of doing it when I get home from work. Any side effects, at least I'm at home and can sleep it off? Thanks xx

Hiya I'm Joan and this Amitriptyline is the Dog's Doodah's!! At high doses (250mg) it's an anti depressant, called tri cyclic, an old one, been around for decades. Docs discovered it's uses at lower doses (10mg-25mg) as a first line defence for IBS, bed wetting and as a preventative for...

I replied to you in the other thread about buzzy Just a long shot here, but sometimes this can be a control thing, he's not in control, so.... would he inject himself? An alternative to Infliximab is Humira, self injected using a needle or a pen. no infusions. I use a needle and it's dead easy...

No, my bladder issues are quite random, it helps to drink tons of water I think. Just read the list above and I haven't got any, except the bladder (sometimes) and weight gain, but that's cos I never stop eating! Oink, Oink!!

I haven't got a Scooby Doo neither, but we're in!

I have absolutely no idea wot I'm doing, but it's fun trying!

I'd love this to be my Support group, cos I'm in love with it. I love David too, so I'll be in his testing one too

I didn't take mine last night, I thought it was too late. We went to watch Django Unchained (fab fillum) and only got home well after midnight. I tossed n turned all bloody night, woke up feeling like crap, visited the bathroom a few times, went back to sleep 10am-12.30pm, won't be doing that again!

ha ha yes me too UnXmas I don't feel dependent on it, but just love the floaty, dreamy, sleepy, calm feeling I get at bedtime. Perhaps I am dependent on it, but I don't give a rat's arse, tbh!

Steroids should be avoided if it is Crohn's Why? Dr11 Cos of perforation and fistulas? Prednisolone saved my life nearly 3 years ago, otherwise I wouldn't be here. Tons of people on this forum have used steroids to help with inflammation, so I just don't get it! Why would our gastros prescribe...

I'm glad you feel better with the Amitriptyline UnXmas, I'm never gonna give this med up! I know what you mean about the bladder tho, I don't seem to be emptying properly, and before this med I'd pee like the store's horse! ( a wacky English saying!)

I kept flaring when I hit 20mg too, try to stay on it til the Aza kicks in, usually 12 weeks.

It's ok, keep us posted. We have a sticky somewhere on things to ask your doc, I'll try to find it

Hiya Sian and welcome Yes this forum will certainly help and support you thro this difficult time. Try not to fret, we're all here for you, you're not alone. A good rule of thumb is, if the Pred worked then this would indicate inflammation somewhere. Good luck with the pill cam and keep us...

yeah I saw that and Facebook keep trying to ban it!
