That's great to hear about your parents Kello. I am married now, but my Mum is still supportive, my Dad however just frowns and looks angry if I am ever feeling unwell. Other people tell me it's just because he is so worried about me, but still.. Fingers crossed it is not PPG!

Hi Kello, any update on the PG status? I saw the photos you posted, and wow - you are doing so well in handling all this. It sounds like you have a good support system with your parents, which is great.

LittleMissValentine can I ask why you were awake for yours? Sorry to hijack, but reading that freaked me out! I have my second colonoscopy (and endoscopy) coming up next month, and the idea of being awake is horrible! Skymgirl I am very glad that everything went well for you.

How are you feeling Kello? I keep coming back to se how you are.. :)

Thanks guys. Agent X20 - I'm so glad the surgery worked for you and your hip pain is now gone. It must have been such a relief once the recovery from surgery was over. Kello I'm glad yours went away by itself - the two other times I have had his joint pain (in my knee) it was terrible - I was in...

Kello, I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about what you are going through. I truly believe that you will come out on the other side of this, and in the meantime I want you to know that I am thinking of you. I think you are amazing for what you deal with every day - you are an...

What fun. So, another fun symptom of a (never ending?) flare. It currently feels like my right hip is in a vice, and it's traveling down to my knee now. It is so stiff, and getting too painful to walk or stand on. This has happened twice before - they did an ultrasound and diagnosed me with...

Oh Kello - that was such a lovely post! I know you don't 'know' me very well yet, but I have followed your surgery journey keenly and have been sending you all my support and best wishes. This may sound corny, but you are actually the person I think of if I am feeling sorry for myself or...

Thanks guys! Really appreciate all the replies. The pain was totally gone the next morning, and has never come back so I didn't go to the Doctor. I have an appointment with my specialist on the 30th of this month though, so I will ask him about it then - it was weird. kello82 I hope you are...

Thank you dingbat - I really appreciate you taking the time to answer me! Have you heard of blockage pain occouring in that area or do you think that would be more unusual? One of the things I struggle with the most with this disease, is knowing if something is 'bad enough' to need help or...

Hi all, really hoping if someone can give me some advice please. I am not feeling very well - yesterday after lunch I got this unusual pain. Right in between my ribs and down about an inch. It got progressivly worse, then went away after about 2 hours. Today after lunch it has come back - it...

Hey MsSickandTired, I'm sorry to hear about your falling out with your family. My opinion? If it was me, I think I would write them a letter. Much easier to get exactly what you want to tell them out without the risk of becoming overly emotional or the conversation veering off course. You could...

Hi karisue, I'm sorry to hear that someone said that to you - how hurtful and thoughtless of them. It is amazing the types of things people will say without recognising that it could be rude. I hate it when people say to me 'oh I don't know how you stand it, I'm so happy I don't have Crohns'...

Hi MsSickandTired (great name btw!) I am only new as well, but welcome - I think this place is great. I'm sorry to hear about your impending divorce. It must be very hard for you dealing with that as well as your disease. I hope this place helps you to feel that you have some support.

Oh thank you for all the replies everyone, I'm sorry I did not just do a search on Salofalk in the first place but thank you for taking the time to answer my question anyway. Pen, mine are exactly as you describe - long oval and mustard colour. It really is hard for me to tell if they are...

Thank you so much for all of your replies, it is so nice to hear from people who understand what this damn disease is like. You know I have been reading all these posts, and compared to some of you who seem to be suffering so badly at times, I know I don't have anything to complain about. I...

Thank you so much mRae85! It really is lovely not to feel so alone.. Anyway, I guess I don't really have anything else to say except thank you for replying and welcoming me. Having another not so great day, but that is just standard with this disease I guess.

I'm apologising in advance - I know this thread is rather redundant and useless but I have been battling crohns for 2 years now and I just have to say: I don't want this anymore! I don't want crohns, I don't want to be sick, I don't want to keep being scared that my Husband will be tired of...

Hello everyone else lucky enough to be here... I am a 27 year old female from Australia and I was diagnosed with Crohns about 2 years ago. Like everyone says, this is truly a weird ride. My doctor classifies my Crohns as mild to moderate and I currently take 6 x 500mg of Salofalk tablets...
