    This has destroyed my life.

    I didn't take the shot either nor have I had covid. Question, do you experience super vivid dreams on that level of melatonin? I don't take near the level you're taking but my dreams can be pretty strange!😳

    Ivermectin and Fenbendazole

    Ken. I decided, as a Crohn's patient since 2005, not to take the mRna COVID vaccine and opted to use a COVID prevention protocol that Dr Peter McCullough and a number of other doctors were recommending. I chose ivermectin as along with some supplements as my defense against COVID. I began this...

    Sorry this is so long but My question is: Has anyone on this forum developed GERD after beginning Entyvio treatment? This has been my experience since I began Entyvio: I started taking Entyvio November 8, 2018. Since taking my May 2018 infusion, it is the first time I have not had to take...

    No bowel movement without laxatives, diarrhoea with laxatives. Help!

    I will eat a prune if things have slowed down too much and if things are moving too fast I will add a 1/4 teaspoon of chia seeds to my smoothie or cereal. I've had 15 inches of my ileum/colon removed so I'm not sure how well my method will work for you. You might try it, adjusting to suit. The...

    Humira Club Support Group

    I am a Crohn's patient. I take Methotrexate injections weekly. I am about to begin Humira shots. My question to those who take both drugs is.....do you take them on the same day? Methotrexate leaves me pretty tired and slow moving the next day after my shot, so my concern is how I will feel...

    Oral Methotrexate?

    I am taking six 2.5mg tabs a week. Began taking in Sept 2012 after surgery removing terminal ileum. The first week I took the pills, I expereinced slight flu like symptoms which lasted about 36 hours. Since that time, the only thing I notice is on the day I take the pills --I get drowsy...

    Mr.

    Thanks for sharing your story. Sounds like you are trying to find your balance again. Maybe the telling words in your story are "did not give Crohn's much respect". With THAT change, and patience with the tedious challenge of finding what will work to get you a back into remission --my vote...

    Kefir

    I've been making my own Kefir for three years. It isn't a real high maintenance process. I do use pasturized milk however --difficult to find raw milk. I use a high quality organic 2%milk and use grains that were given to me three years ago (because they multiply, I've shared my grains with...

    Crohn's diagnoses at 62

    I was diagnosed with Crohn's in December of 2005 when I expereinced a full blockage --- I had no idea I even suffered from this disease so I was quite surprised. I've had several partial blockages since 2005. I'm told there is a six inch section of my small intestine with a diameter of a straw...
