I actually got worse when I was pregnant, I jay cant conform! I can say the last 1 1/2 years without my period has been awesome! Lauren

I am glad you saw this post and answered. I have not been on lately- my husband died 3 months ago and just trying to figure stuff out. I saw my GP today and he has me back on Prednisone. I am no longer on Remicade because I lost my ins when my husband died. The year my husband had cancer I was...

I applied in September. I just recieved a letter to get a function eval from one of their Drs. Don't know if this is a good thing or bad thing. Also going to find a lawyer. Lauren

I just reread this- note to self no typing after you take a sleeping pill! L:ywow:

Thanks for your responces, somedays I deal with this better than others. I know he's in a bad place too, I just wish we could have a little bit of peace every once in awhile Lauren

I have been married 31 years, my husband as I have explained before is not at all understanding of my CD. I was diagnosed at 28, I am now 53, we started dating at 17. For various reasons my husband is not my biggest cheer leader, in his eyes I don't do much right, from folding his laundry to...

Call Johnson and Johnson, they cover the cost of Remicade for some people. I think more than we think, I just don't want to give you bad info. Lauren

low vit D can cause this problem. Lauren

i have has two episodes of that and its been diagnosed as ischemic colitis. Hope your feeling better Lauren

would that not be considered discrimination? Lauren

I told the Dr my GIs plan, and that is the hospital he practices out of. I just wasn't sic enough. To be honest I didn't care what my number was, the amount of blood was disturbing plus I was already on Prednisone. My steroid was actually raised today at 60 mgs. So my house should be cleaned...

Thank you for responding. I saw my Dr on Wed, after trips to the ER on Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday i was started on 40 mgs of pred. On Wed my Dr said I should have no further bleeding, if I do back to the ER and will be admitted. Started bleeding again late afternoon on Friday. Called the...

My mom used to work as an admitting clerk in the ER, she was exposed to TB so she now tests positive. So for her they would do a chest X-ray to confirm there never was a TB infection. She never received treatment. Lauren

Thank you Ron. Lauren

I have had bleeding for the last 3 days, and a lot of it. I have CD and my GI doc thinks is ischemic colitis. I thought you got that our to trauma. When I joined in 2012, I was given the same Dx and i am pretty sure he said it was the same thing as having CD in my large colon. Maybe I am...

Every day! not in an obsessive way, just in making decisions about my day. I made plans with a friend tomorrow and i cant make it due to the symptoms i have had this week. I try not to feel bad but I do. Lauren

Thats an awesome thing to have in light of everything going on in my life right now, I got a yellow lab pup, I named her Charli. Already at 4 months she knows the last 2 weeks have been very rough on me and she stays much closer than usual. instead of sleeping at the end of my bed she right up...

Thank you for all the responses! I was seen in the ER once Monday and again on Tuesday. Then my GI today. I was started on 40 mgs of prednisone yesterday. There was some confusion at the ER i guess as my Dr was really unhappy that no CT was ordered and they forget the fact that he wanted me...

I won't have that test done for that reason. It is not a very reliable test and your medical ins while not paying for it, can refuse to pay for anything related to CD care should it be a false negative. Thank you for your responses.
