Thank for the support guys. It seems to have eased off. I just hope I don't wake up tomorrow in pain. I have been to the toilet a couple of times, and passed some wind, and I think that has helped. We will see in the morning I guess! Thanks

Hello everyone, Well, I had a colonoscopy yesterday, which I was sedated for, but not General. I was aware of everything, and do remember most of it. I remember it being quite painful in some areas, specifically when he was getting the camera around bends. He got all the way through the colon...

Well, I have my colonoscopy tomorrow. Had my prep day today, and I am so so hungry right now! haha! According to the instructions that my hospital gave me, no food from 1PM this afternoon until after the procedure. Thats over 24 hours! So hungry! haha! Oh well, the laxative has been working (I...

Well, I had my four loading doses yesterday, so I thought I would join the club! Have my next 2 injections in 2 weeks time, and having a blood test the day before. Is this standard having blood tests before each dose for the first few doses? I actually did not find the pain too bad. The first...

Thank you! I hope it works well too! How is it for you? I see in your signature that you take 6MP, is that the same as azathioprine? If it is, how do you find the combo between that and Humira? Thats what I will be on. Well, I will be on fortnightly shots eventually, but in a fortnight, I am...

Yes, it seems to be routine from what they said. Anyway, had my loading doses today (4 pens of Humira) and went okay! First one that the nurse did hurt, quite a bit, but really nothing to worry about. I then did the next 3 and they were better than the rest. The last one I did not really feel at...

Hey guys, In terms of the TPMT, yes, I had that done today. Also had a chest x-ray to check for TB. I have the consultation tomorrow at the hospital tomorrow to talk about Humira, and then the day after I will have the first 4 injections! Ouch! oh well! haha! Yes, I have been told that I will...

Well, time for another update! Went to see my consultant yesterday to look at my results from my CT scan. In terms of whats going on inside, it is as we expected. It is mainly effecting the part where the smaller connects to the large intestine, can't remember the name of that specific part...

Thanks Pen. No, I don't actually know any of the prep for before the scope. But, I presume that I will still be on the same dose of Prednisone (30mg) as there has been no talk of reducing it, and the scope will be some time in the coming week. I will ask about this before I actually have it...

Yea, I have to admit, even thought I am not feeling 100%, the steroids are seeming to help take the edge of it off, which does make the waiting for test results tolerable.

Hi guys, Just thought that I would update you as to where I am now. Okay, Had my appointment on Monday with the consultant/GI doctor. I honestly think I am blessed. He was one of the nicest men you ever will meet, and he is 99% sure that it is Crohn's, but to see how bad it is, he did an...

Another update. My GP has called, and after him being in contact with the GI, the GI has got him to put me on a prescription of Steroids at 30MG a day. Also as said in the post before, I have my appointment with the GI on Monday. Don't actually know what any of this means in terms of the...

Danny - I know! It is great! I am sooooooo happy that I am getting it all done so fast! I have been on the phone today with the GI and I have an appointment on Monday, but there is a possibility of it being earlier, depending on who my GP can get in contact with. To be honest, I want to go with...

Thanks for all the replies guys! Really useful! Well today has been interesting... Got a call from the doctor today saying that he wants to see me, tonight. Bit odd, as I only had the 2nd lot of blood taken on Friday (today being Monday) and the follow up appointment where I was going to find...

Thanks for the replies guys, It is really nice to have someone there to talk to suffering from the same symptoms :hug: I have not seen a GI yet, just my GP as of yet. I have an appointment with my GP on Friday, and I hope that is when she passes me on to a GI. My tender to touch area is mainly...

Hello everyone, Well, this is going to be a reasonably long story, but would help if any one has any comments on it. It all started in the Christmas of 2008, where I was in a huge amount of pain from stomach cramps, and really hurt when going to the toilet. I was in bed all over Christmas and...
