Hello everyone and thanx for the replies. I had the XRay and guess what??? No Pillcam.. Must have passed so that is a relief. However, Dr still wants to discuss surgery as it appears I have a similar situation to Crabby. I have excessive scar tissue build-up confined to the Ileum. This...

Dont panic about the Pred... I felt "great" for years but still needed Pred to control bleeding that resulted in iron deficiency anemia. As long as you respect the drug it will be fine. Follow the doctors taper and if you trust him, stick to it. If you dont trust him, find another one...

I have had all the tests done lately and my Gastroenterologist just called me (at 6 p.m., never good!) with some results of my capsule Endoscopy last week. These are the tests I have had lately; CT Scan: Had this for Testicular Cancer check-up and it came back "Small Bowel displays Stenosis...

Hello everyone, been a while since I posted because I have been on Methotrexate and oddly enough, it was working well for about 2 months. About a month ago however I started getting the stomach pains again so I am assuming it is no longer helping. (Experience speaking). Prior to...

Thanx for the replies everyone. I visited my GI today and decided before I start the Low Dose Long Term Pred that we would give the alternate immuno-modulator Methotrexate a go. I was on this with the infliximab however at a lower dose than I will be trying on this occasion. Unfortunately...

Hello everyone, I am wondering if someone with experience in this area may be able to give me some advice. I was diagnosed with Crohns in 2007 and put on a course of Pred along with Mesalamine at the time. The Pred brought on a remission and everything was good until June last year. In June...

I have just posted a thread concerning my medicinal side effects. Sounds like we have similar issues. I lasted 16 days on Imuran (6-MP family). Nausea, intense stomach pain, vomiting. I have been your other drugs except Tramadol but dont imagine this would cause it. I would guess the 6MP...

Hi everyone, it has been a while since I posted as I have been feeling really good lately. However I started on Imuran 22 days ago and that appears to have changed. Before I ask for advice I will give a brief summary of my history with Crohns to help you understand my situation: * Small Bowel...

Hi everyone, I am a new member seeking advice on Crohns treatment. I had a flare-up start 7 months ago and my G.I changed me from Salofalk and Iron tablets daily to Infliximab (Remicade) infusions every 8 weeks with Methotrexate every Sunday. I now also take Folate and Iron Daily. Although...

Hi again and thanx to georgiegirl and marym for the replies. I am very interested to hear you are reviewed every 6-8 weeks. I have not been reviewed since 2007, even though I have changed medications. The meds were changed because of the flare-up, not because a series of tests determined...

:wink:Hello everyone, my story is a somewhat "bizarre tale" given my recent turn of events. As a result this is not the only "disease type" forum I happen to be a member of. You see, I was recently diagnosed with Testicular Cancer in addition to Crohns... My story started in 2002 as a 31...
