Welcome Trnrmom and Terri!

Yup, having some problems with the links my mom is getting in her emails not working, saying you don't have permission to view that link. Odd, I never have seen it before until today, I get it on another forum, almost like no confirmation or something on the user email. really odd.

THAT explains the bumps on my head.... :)

Owch.... Thanks so much, it helps to know, I know my mom is miserable with it and it sure is restricting her life a lot right now. IIRC my mom said it is more of an autoimmune disease, so the body is fighting itself?

What exactly IS Crohns and what is UC? I almost got the impression they are the same thing, but not really sure. Being my mom said her colon was tar black can't be good at all.

Is there any "cure" for Crohns or UC? Has anyone got rid of it? Thanks!

Sounds like my mom is on Apriso, but the cost is too much, she can't really afford it. It is like nearly $400 for 3 months worth. Owch! So much for Medicare.... So drugs like Apriso, do they help prevent the problems or control the symptoms, or ? Thanks!

I am trying to help figure out what is good/bad that my mom is taking for Crohns and Ulcerative Colitis. She is taking Darvocet (around 8 pills a day, 3-4 just to get thru the night) and sometimes OxyCodone or Tylenol 3. I am very worried that she is OD'ing on tylenol. She is bleeding...

My mom has Ulceritive Colitus and Crohns, pretty bad, the scope of her colon showed it to be tar black. I know virtually nothing about it. I know she is taking a lot of pain pills and that concerns me, around 8 darvocet a day and others with it. Seeing that darvocet causes gastro bleeding...
