Hello My husband just had surgery on Friday, October 7. He came home on the Tuesday the 12th. I stayed home with him on the 12th and today, the 13th. If anyone else has a loved one that had surgery, how long did you stay home with them? I know it will vary but I would like to hear any...

hello I am also here for my loved one. My husband just had surgery last Friday. I love all the helpful advice and stories. I do have an additional question for everyone. After you got home from the hospital, how long did you need someone home with you? My husband seems to be having a harder...

Hello Y'all! My husband is waiting for the Humira today. It has to be delivered to our front door. Does anyone know why? Also, if you have started Humira, did you have any initial side effects from the first 4 shots? How long did they last? Curious on what to expect. Thanks!!

Hey! I was just wondering how you are doing now days? Are you liking Humira?

Hi! My husband starts Humira soon, early next week hopefully. The date is unknown because of insurance approval and I guess someone brings it straight to the house. (?) He is on Prednisone now. The doc would like him off of it. I can keep you updated on how he's doing as he is weaning from it.

Andi! I just wanna give you a big hug! Having to deal with everyone has to be so hard while going through a flare. Sending good, strong vibes your way!

Heeey! I am a wife also. I was also worried that the members with Crohn's wouldn't want me here because I don't experience what they do. I joined because I knew my husband wouldn't, yet we had so many questions. We also felt like no one else understood what was going on. I was hoping for a...

My husband has felt exactly how you feel. This is the only place I could find people that know how he feels and how I feel (I'm only his wife, no Crohn's). It's been so discouraging the past few months. He does start Humira soon. It surely sucks. Post in the forum when you need to, it's...

(To those that are struggling with diarrhea, I am terribly sorry. :( ) My husband was just in the hospital for severe blockage. He was released with no relief. And today....He Pooped!! I have to share my excitement with people who understand. About 3 months ago, he couldn't keep food in...

AAAGGGGHHHHH!!!! That is my best Crohn's scream. We went to the ER Thursday morning. My husband's pain was so severe, they got him to a room quickly. He received a shot of Dilaudid. And then another, and another, and a few more. I know the ER is about the worst place to be but I think we...

Thanks for your post GNC. My husband has Crohn's and Friday was ER day. We did absolutely nothing in your post so....he was seen by the screener person, then on to the next step, they felt his stomach and said that it feels fine. He then waited in an uncomfortable chair for 1 1/2 hours. He...

Hi Zoe I don't have Crohn's but my husband does. I am on the forum for the both of us. I haven't had time to read all of the posts but thought I would give you an idea of what he goes through. He broke his back several years ago. Recently he has had many more flare-ups with a lot of back...

I do know that as a spouse, my husband has expressed his guilt over not feeling like having sex. Other than that, his only other guilt about not being able to help with day to day tasks is with our dogs. He can't walk them and take them out much anymore. As a spouse, I feel like I should be...

my side My husband has crohns and I understand completely about his low sex drive. He has been going through a bad bout for almost a year. He is now taking meds, (Entocort(sp?) and Lialda). I used to feel like more of a live in buddy. It was hard to understand for what seemed like a long...

So, I am just going to ask my other important question. Everyone's information has been helpful! Do painful leg cramps occur with Crohn's? He gets a serious cramp in his calf and recently his shin. It's painful and can take minutes to go away.

Wow Adrian! You are amazing and you can do this. Can't wait to read your update.

Thank you for your responses. I guess not many people wanna share. I'll look at other threads to find some info.

Hi My husband has Crohn's and I know that this is very painful for him. It has been difficult for me emotionally. I feel like I'm not helping or doing enough. The possibility of surgery is closing in on him. We go back to the doc on the 24th to see the results of the CAT scan and blood...
