Thanks Ducey and Emily. I appreciate both of your responses. Emily - if I begin to have symptoms I will certainly get on meds. My MD (who is wonderful BTW) isn't puting me on anything and I trust him. If I have a flare I don't believe it will be because I was or wasn't on medication...

Was diagnosed in 2004 and had a resection at the time - active crohns and an obstruction at the terminal ileum. Since then I have been pretty asymptomatic. I recently had a colonoscopy (long time coming, have been puting it off!). No active disease was seen in the colon or terminal ileum-...

Thanks for the info and replies. riversilt and sailorluna - sorry to hear about the symptoms coming back so soon after surgery. I consider myself ridiculously blessed to have been without major symptoms since the surgery. That is, until now apparently. Shamrock15: It isn't a nerve pain. It...

First off - I had a resection 8 years ago. I have been pretty much in remission since. HOWEVER (damn disease!), I have recently been having these cramps on my left side. I posted about it several months ago. I have no bloody stool, no fever, no intense pain, no real naseau (unless i...

Thanks! Do you generally have blood in your stool? I have never had that and was wondering if it was normal...

I was wondering a couple of things: 1) when you have a flare-up do you have tenderness in your stomach around the cramp/flare-up? If so, what does that tenderness feel like? Is it painful to push in there 2) During a flare-up do any of you have solid....movements:shifty-t:? thanks

Thank Amy. That is the thing that is weird about all of this. I am not having any pain. No Pain. None. Just cramps. I will still get into a doctor. Yes, I am in Providence - just moved here.

I am going to try and get in tomorrow. Thanks Pen

No. Since they cut out the Crohn's (6yrs), I have been feeling good. No flare-ups. I have gained weight, never had blood in my stool.... Actually, I did take Pentasa for a few months and hated it. Later, I saw a GI doc at a Crohn's research insitution (university of chicago) who told me...

Pen Thanks for the advice - very kind. Funny you should mention gastro bug - about 5-7 days before this cramp my wife and I had a 48 stomach flu - really bad. It really hurt my intestines! I am glad my wife had it too or I would have freaked out about a flare-up! Anyway, maybe I am having...

That is very odd - a very ignorant thing to do. I am sorry to hear of your troubles. You should get in to a GI sooner. Call their office, talk to a nurse and tell her what is happening and they should be able to get you on an overbook or after hours or something.

Thanks Thanks Michele. That's what's weird - I have no pain. Just a cramp. I really don't want to go to the doctor but suppose I might.

Help - Question I should have become part of this community a long time ago as I have frequently read your threads/posts. Anyway, I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in January 2004 - they discovered it while removing my appendix (that wasn't causing the pain after all...suprise!). After a...
