I have never had an MRI. @ Suschex: I take Miralax, but it is okay for me...doesn't completely help me all the way. I have had Magnesium Citrate (That stuff is horrible!!) And yes, I agree, I think I realize, I have constopation, and then the really bad urge to go, but I cannot, or when I do...

I have had Crohn's for almost 8 years, and I have recently discovered (well have known for about 6-7 months) thy most patients with crohn's suffer from having to use the restroom 728382972648 times a day. Well I didn't know this! I always thought it was just difficulty using the restroom! I...

Thank you so much for all the advice, I feel much better about it now! Also, if say I'm not sleepy (I probably will be BUT) Can I walk around and such?

Thank you too all the responses! They really help me, I'm just nervous about it. I've heard a lot of good things, and i've heard some bad things. One of the secretaries at my school takes it for her arthritis, and she says she loves it...Hopefully it will go well for me too.. @Rygon, if it...

Hi, I am new to these forums, and I'm on a terrible flareup right now,which has been going on for about a year, I couldn't see the doctor for a little bit, because our insurance no longer covered for my doctor. So my mom soon found me a new doctor, after about 6 months. I recently received a...
