David, you might add "Stomach" since my Doc "Doogie" says that I have involvement there too...

As my Doctor (My infamous Doogie Howser! LOL!) says I am a "Small Subset" of Crohns patients that have constipation..... a totally different "PITA"! LOL! My first line of treatment is a LOT of water... 4 bottles a day at least... then if that doesn't work I use Ducolax.. though Doogie says that...

I did it. My will power and good sense just fled and left a gaping hole in my sense of good sense! LOL! I took my "adopted" Grandaughter to Sonic to get her lunch..... she was spending the day at the office and where else can you get a filing clerk for the price of Sonic Popcorn Chicken and...

An upper GI scope showed the lower half of my esophagus and part of my stomach have areas of "friable" tissue (Granular surfaces) similar to the malforamtion of my transverse colon and several small tears. Doogie Howser says it is part of the CD and I am 80 mg of Nexium a day to try and get...

I was 60 when I was diagnosed... like STLGirl I have been pretty healthy all my life until I had a massive heart attack and then a 5 bypass surgery in summer 2009. The it all started to fall apart about a year later and now I have Crohns in the transverse colon and lower esophagus and upper...

I think I am going to start using the "Prednisone Defense" for every stupid thing I do.... better than the "Devil Made me Do It!" LOL!

Now I got THESE side affects to worry about too! I just started Imuran (50mg/day) 3 days ago.. been on Prednisone (20/day) for 3 weeks now and I have had the "itchy - twichy's" for about a week... had to count to 10 several times to keep from yelling at my office manager when she interrupts MY...

Okay, I feel kind of bad about jumping in on your post, Brad but I have a similar problem.... for those of you just joining us... Heh - Heh - Heh ... I have JUST been diag'd with Crohn's.... mainly thru scope and a blood test... I seem to have the symptoms.... but ONLY in the morning! I wake up...

Thank ALL of you for the support... both in the information AND the outrage! ;-) I will see Doogie next Friday (For a sigmoidoscopy... spelled it without looking it up! :ylol: ) and I will definitley tell him about it.... I really can't wait until my year is up and I can get a new Doc! I got...

I had an endoscopy 2 weeks ago..... went to the doctors yesterday and I got pawned off on his PA..... which considering HIS patient interaction isn't THAT bad I guess..... for those who don't know - a couple months ago he had his OFFICE MANAGER call me with the official lab report diagnosing me...

Just read Gustav's rant from Wayyyyyy Back When..... but I have to say something now! I am Transgendered.. think "gay" but in hi heels! LOL! You all have such an upbeat look at waiting for someone who will come along and be the perfect guy... but what about the fact that since I have exploded...

Lucy I am with you here! Right now all my trips to the bathroom aren't regular "matter" dumps so much as O Pos dumps! :yfaint: And I am so sick of the people who ask you how you're doing and then act like a fly just buzzed them or something! I have finally just started answering "Oh fair to...

Well, Just got the lab report from Doogie..... He actually had me come in instead of just having an office wienie call! LOL! It turns out they had minor cause for the biopsies... esphogus (sp?) had erosion, some tearing and some "friable" areas..... what.... my esophogus is crumbling and...

Well, I wonder if I am on the wrong medicine??!?!?!?!? I am taking Entocort and Asacol.... When I was first diagnosed with CD I was constipated a LOT and was having bleeding episodes maybe twice a month..... thought it was just really bad Hemorhoids! Then I got diag'd and started on the medicine...

:yfrown:Wonder what it would be like to have a family or friends.........

Was it TI or is it Colon??? :ymad::ymad:Well, Dougie Howser (My GI Doc..... gawd he looks like he's an escapee from pre school! LOL!.... says it is worse in the turns from the ascending to the trans and then the trans to the descending.... but until I started the entocort and the other one...

Thank You Joe, You explained as I tried to say it! ;-) That hits it right on the head. And I too have tried to committ suicide... 3 times in the past and was found before the job was finished..... no silly calls or cries for help .... just people walking in where they were never expeected to be...

Je*us! After reading this thread I got to agree with Cheeky.... what's the sense of hanging around for all this.... I have been suffering thru the symptoms of "sumthin" for like a year now and just got diag'd that it is Crohn's - took a 1300 DOLLAR blood test to diag me too.... and now I get to...

Well, it has been the only way I have managed NOT to just check out for over 6 years now! I used to have a friend and we had a pact that we would call the other one before we did anything serious....and then spend the evening talking each other out of it... but, about 6 years ago, she finally...

Corey, just a thought on the suicide thing.. I DO understand completely.... but after a lot of research and soul search I finally made a pact with myself...When I am feeling at the end of my rope and want to end it.... I tell myself that I will wait until the next day to do it.... I mean you...
