    Partial Bowel Obstruction- Questions about breaking it up.

    I wasn't really sure. This is the first time I've actually seen one on the x-ray. The doctor told me that it looked like residue build up because of inflammation. I'm pretty sure it worked itself out over the weekend and I went back to eating solid food. I was just a little freaked because my...

    Partial Bowel Obstruction- Questions about breaking it up.

    So I found out yesterday that I have a large partial obstruction in the small bowel. I guess I shouldn't complain about it that much this is the first serious issue I've had with Crohn's in almost two years. The doctor put me back on steroids to reduce the inflamation and help break it up. I...

    Imuran Side effects

    I started imuran recently and I was just wondering what kind of side effects people have been having. I'm getting minor joint pain in my knees and back but the pain is easily controlled with some Tylenol other than that my crohns is well under control. Do you think that my side effects are...

    MMR vaccine linked to Crohn's & Autism

    I'm sorry Lydia but 50 deaths out of the millions that have taken the shot is far too low of a sample. HPV will likely kill or seriously reduce the quality of life for far more than 50 girls over the same time period. I'd also like to see a source on that figure. Also, let me ask you a...

    MMR vaccine linked to Crohn's & Autism

    Lydia, I hate Insurance companies and for profit organizations with a passion. I agree that they only care about money and not what's best for children or society in general. However, I look at every piece of information available not at face value or just believe it because it fits in with...

    MMR vaccine linked to Crohn's & Autism

    ^Yeah, I'm going with the referenced information of this one. Thanks for the post, I knew there was a reason his studies weren't taken seriously. The scientific community doesn't just ignore research with out a reason.

    National Guard

    Nope, I was all set to join the Marines when I got sick and diagnosed with Chrons. Auto disqualify. In hindsight that's kind of the only good thing that came out of me getting Chrons seeing as how 9/11 happened a year later. Narrowly avoided wartime. Oh well. Good luck.

    MMR vaccine linked to Crohn's & Autism

    And to add something about your second point. Being his subsequent 28 additional studies done after the first that no one mentions. I don't know what you do for a living but I'm an undergrad in Chemical Engineering and have been working in the research laboratory so I have quite a bit of...

    MMR vaccine linked to Crohn's & Autism

    ^ This still belies the point that Chrons was being diagnosed in large numbers of individuals for nearly 40 years before the combined MMR vaccine even existed. How do you explain that?

    MMR vaccine linked to Crohn's & Autism

    Chrons' was first recorded in 1932 which was nearly 20 years before the first Vaccine (Polio) was distributed on a massive scale. In addition the MMR Vaccine didn't even become a standard practice until 1971; in the 1960's 2-4 in 100,000 were diagnosed with the disease without the aid of modern...

    New here Rasone's story

    The college has been great in that regard but the problem is that I still have to take them while on the Pred. Shire Cares is the donation company for the people that make pentasa to give it to low income people. They said I had to apply fro medicade and get a denial letter, but in Utah you...

    New here Rasone's story

    So yeah, I guess it's kind of hard to just sort of get it out there when you've been dealing with it so long. In any case, I guess I was luckier than my brother who also has it in that he was diagnosed first and when I started having the same symptoms they knew what to look for. Well that was 10...
