I am so very sorry you are going through all of this. I can definitely understand what you are going through. You are in the right place and I would recommend staying until you feel well enough to go home. When I was in the hospital every time, they would not let me leave unless I could keep...

To L Millas, the initial post. Never wait to go to the ER when you are having issues. Going to the ER will relieve symptoms, they will run tests and it will show your GI doctor that there is a serious problem. In that, waiting to go to the office and trying a new medicine is not what you need...

Hi Stephanie. Go read my story and it will tell you about my ups and downs with Crohn's. Mine is also titled My Story. I can relate to everything you are going through. I take a lot of medication. I have had it for 22 years. Due to this I have been diagnosed with Major Depression. I still take...

Hello! I was diagnosed with Crohn's in 95. I actually LOVE prednisone because how quickly it works with healing inflammation. I have taken it multiple times over the years. I have been put on high doses and then tapered off. My suggestion is to stay away from salty foods, such as soups. Your...

I was diagnosed with Crohn's at 9 years old. I also had arthritis. My parents had no idea what to do emotionally while going through all of this. My parents read all the literature they could find, went to support groups for parents of children with Crohn's--and that was in 1995. I remember...

I LOVE Humira. Some take it bi-weekly and some take it weekly. I take it weekly. It saved my life. I also love prednisone because it is a quick fix. It is not good to be on a long period of time, but it works wonders with inflation. I have been put on extremely high doses and come down weekly...

Talk to your doctor to see what his/her suggestions will be to alleviate this problem. I have never been on such a long flight, but when I do I eat very bland the day before, or very little at all. My GI has given me medicine to slow down my colon and calm it, so I do not use the restroom all...

If I understand correctly, you are at least having some progress. You definitely need to stay in the hospital until you can digest solid foods and have "normal" bowel movements. How old are you? With all your symptoms and extended stay, are your doctors considering surgery? I'm glad you are able...

It could be a stomach bug. They can last more than just two or three days. They can even last a week. That's the hard part of Crohn's is determining if it is a stomach bug or Crohn's. If you have not changed anything in your diet, and it continues for a few more days, I would contact your GI...

Thank you very much for the well wishes.

I was diagnosed with Crohn's in the 3rd grade. I was in a great deal of pain, lost a great deal of weight and became very pale. After a colonoscopy, I was diagnosed with Crohn's. I was 9 years old. I am now 31 years old and have had this for 22 years. My experience with Crohn's has been a roller...
