    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    I haven't tried anything but the smoke and the vapor but from what I have heard the pills are not as effective. Again, never tried the pill form. As far as strains go I think the clinics would be able to tell you which is "best" but I have found that once it's at a certain level of quality it...

    Disability/Unemployment/Financial Difficulties Support Group

    Thank you! I am looking into that now. I do not look forward to filling out paperwork for 3 hours but maybe it will go smoother now since I have already done it once. It's awesome that there are people like you that will take time to help others in similar situations. Having been diagnosed with...

    Disability/Unemployment/Financial Difficulties Support Group

    I was denied twice and the last thing I filled out was for "reconsideration of a claim" so I never went before a judge or anything. Things got busy when we were getting ready to move.

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    you might want to try a different kind. from what I have read Indica is more of a peaceful sleepy feeling as opposed to Sativa which makes people paranoid and energetic. (been there, not fun)

    Filing for disability

    Hello, I was denied in TN and recently moved to VA and was wondering if there are any tips or advice anyone has for getting approved. I was diagnosed with UC in 2003 and recently my doctors told me it might be Crohn's. Have had major depressive disorder and severe anxiety since highschool, also...

    What are your SAFE and UNSAFE foods?

    I have Crohn's or UC (doctors are unsure) and my newest Gastro put me on this Low-Fodmap diet and I have noticed a huge difference in how I feel. It's very odd, can have raspberries but not blackberries, red bell peppers but not green. I do recommend it because I have done low-residue and...

    IBD and Mental Health Support Group

    Hello, I was diagnosed with UC when I was 21 (31 now) and last year my doctors at Vandy told me I might have Crohn's instead. I have struggled with major depressive disorder and anxiety (touch of ocd, I count things when I am experiencing more stress than usual) since I was 17. Lately I feel...

    Remicade Club Support Group

    I have been on Remicade every 7 weeks for about 3 years. I hadn't noticed joint pain or anything. I am usually up til about 4 am the night after the infusion which I attribute to the prednisone they use before the remicade. I am, however, pretty exhausted all the time. Don't know if that's the...

    Crohn's Colitis Support Group

    I was not tested for food allergies but at the suggestion of my nutritionist at Vandy I cut out all lactose and started drinking the 99% lactose free Kefir. Kefir is GREAT. I can only eat in the afternoon most days and the Kefir helps me have something in my stomach in the morning to take my...

    Remicade infusions: Extreme tiredness ,and nausea?

    I have been on remicade for about two years, every 7 weeks now. I am pretty tired all the time but I just found out I have c. diff and am now on vancomycin for 14 days. Most of my tiredness is due to depression, I think. I had been sick before that and my nutritionist suggested a lactose-free...

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    I have ulcerative colitis and I could have done my own clinical study on what works best for nausea. I am prescribed *mg of Zofran as needed and also phenergan. A lot of the time I can't keep either down, if I am lucky enough to have some "MM" I smoke a bowl and I feel unbelievably better within...
