Ive been on steroids for a few months now and still got a few to go. Ive put the weight i lost back on but now I'm going in the opposite direction and it's gone straight to my belly! Just wondering if stomach excerises can affect the crohns in a bad way at all. Just things like sit ups and such...

Thanks! :) just wondering out of curiosity the effects of alcohol and prednisolon (40mg). I'm moving out soon and we have a few friends over for a leaving party, just wondering if i can drink. In moderation of course.

How fast does it take for the steroids to work because i'm feeling great! I'm eating a crap load of food, got all this motivation and energy i haven't had in 6 months!

I'll hopefully be getting the brief when I see the consultant. So far at the moment it's jut a word on a peice of paper for me.

I'll definitely bring it up next week. Also on flagyl and cefalexin for a week and Mesalazine (pentasa) along with the prednisolone. Any insight as to what the proctocolitis diagnosis is. Is it better or worse than crohns so to speak or is it just a specific location of the disease?

Yeh next Thursday is the appointment. That's the one! A side effect I actually like the sound of is weight gain. I've lost almost 2 stone since the start of it all, not being able to put it back on, so it would actually help.

Being discharged with steroid pills. Can't remember what he said they were called because he was talking so fast but it began with a P. Feeling a lot better now. The fistula seems to be clearing up a fair bit too since I quit smoking which is a pleasant surprise!

You're not going to believe this but I'm in hospital after i think i had a partial obstruction. Swells of exruciating abdominal pain, couldn't pass wind or stools, even if I really pushed. Vomitted throughout the night and barely kept down water. The pain still visits but not as often. Haven't...

I suffer from haemorrhoids, could that be what the nodules are?

Thanks for the support :) Could someone please translate the colonoscopy report if possible. I understand some of it but not as a whole. They explained it to me and my dad after the examination but i was still a bit dopey from the sedation and my dad is deaf as a post! I'd appreciate it if it...

The results from the colonoscopy are in. They're 95% sure it's crohns. The biopsy still isn't back but where my appendix was is all very inflamed which points to crohns. It looks like i'll be needing a ileo/ceacal resection. The infection is now what looks like a fistula from the inflamed area...

It's a bit of a long story but i'm sure people still read these days. It all started last year about september, when there were restless nights or stomach cramping but i got on with it, but eventually went to the hospital, got checked for Appendicitis, no tell tail signs, so it was put down to a...
