Awwww, that's sucks! I'm sorry. Did you premedicate this time? Do you know if you're going to be able to try again, or are you completely done?

Hi Ian, glad you found us! Sometimes it does feel like your life can't get any worse. For sure it can get better! I was using the toilet up to 14 times a day during my last bad flare, and right now I feel fabulous! You can feel that way too, it just might take time for your body to get there...

Hi Snowman! I'm sorry that you have to be here, but glad that you found us. I read somewhere that aloe can be damaging for Crohn's because it can cause bleeding, but I don't know if it is the same for UC. Did I read that right? You were off all meds for 14 years? Did you do anything else...

Awww, it IS going to be okay! Life is harder at some times than others, and you are going through a rough time right now. I am sure you are an amazing mom, let those kiddos see you shine! You can do it!

The way I see it is that your immune system is working overtime, and doesn't know what part of your body to attack. It can be anywhere in your entire digestive tract from your lips/mouth to your anus. How it affects peoples eyes and other things, I don't know - but I have heard it does. Isn't...

It does actually ^ . Your whole tone from your very first post is just a bit off, and it is upsetting to the way this forum usually runs. You may have not been received here very well because your posts scream spammer. When you say that you have something to share, but you don't - that is...

LOL! They just hooked me up, and I felt a little funny. I thought my face was going numb. Then I thought my throat was closing. Then I realized I was only getting saline still. HA! It was all in my head. I think I just have dry skin. I always ask my dose, and I always forget - so I will...

You're starting to sound like you again too. I can hear a huge difference in your recent posts. Glad things are looking up for you!

REMICADE INFUSION TODAY!!!!! YAY!!! Lydia, I can feel the happiness through your post. I hope it keeps going for you for a really long time! Isn't it so nice to have your life back? Uli, I've been on for almost 2 years. I am wondering how much longer it can last too, but I am hoping for a...

I haven't done a ton of research on DMSO or colloidal silver, but I do remember reading some negatives about both of them (can't remember the details, but I am almost positive of that). Do your research if you are thinking about using either of those, and ask your doctors even if they aren't...

Hi and welcome. I read your post twice, but didn't see what lead you into remission. Could you elaborate on that? Hope you keep on feeling great! MBH

KIMMIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kimberlie <insert middle name here>, I am so glad you are back! (read ^ in a scolding tone) Yours and Mike's posts have been some of the most helpful on the forum. You guys have a ton of experience with PG and disability and just spousal support and everything. IT IS...

Hi Incognito! Glad you found us! I second Dexky's recommendation on reading Kello's thread. In fact, Kello is very friendly and helpful and PG is kind of rare. If you send her a private message (PM), I am sure she would share anything she could with you. A friend's husband has been battling...

The decision might be up to your insurance. Some insurance companies will want you to try one before the other. Also, it is fine to still be on pred while starting Remi or Humira. (Can't speak for Cimzia.) I noticed an improvement on day 6 after my original Humira injections, but I was only in...

I see a huge difference between Calmo and PrepH, and I've never needed pantiliners with Calmo. All you need is a thin layer. But that's just me. My pharmacy doesn't always have it in stock, but if you ask them to order it they should be able to get it in quickly. Mine is by the next day...

CALMOSEPTINE!!!??? Is that the one you are talking about? Ahh.... I love it. Super congrats on your new baby, he's a fun age right now. Hope your remission keeps up too. So great to hear good news!

I don't have any statistics, but I can tell you of my own experience. I had a perianal fistula as well as a rectovaginal fistula at the time of delivery for my second child. (Diagnosed after the birth of my first child, so it doesn't apply there.) Both my gyno and my colorectal surgeon said...

Here's another thread that may help you. http://www.crohnsforum.com/showthread.php?t=11280&highlight=weight

I was going to ask about pre-meds as well. Do you know which antihistamine you will be taking? I took Benadryl for my firsy infusion and it knocked me out for the rest of the night basically. I asked my doc if I could take non-drowsy Claritin for my next treatment, and it was great. Maybe...

As one of the most respected members of the forum, Dan has nothing to apologize for. Anyone on here knows to look into things before trying them, and ask their doctor before trying things, even an alternative therapy. The only exception might be a child, but a child should have the supervision...
