Hi, my name is Jim but all my friends call me Pops, not because I'm 61, but when I was touring with my band from 1980 through 1988 I was the Leader and always on they guys about stay'n out to later, drinking too much and not letting them drink or smoke before they went on stage, they said that I was being like thier Mon and Dad, so they started calling me Pops as a joke and it stuck. Now that I'm older it fits just fine. About my crohn's. For the last 15+ years I just thought that I had IBS-D 4-6 times a day. But when I retired it got bad fast and I lost 20lbs the first year. (5'10" and down to 139, I use to be around 185 and in good shape around 1998, but lbs were coming off so slow nobody thought anything about it until THAT year.) Now that I have it, it would be nice to change storys and talk about my new friend CROHN'S.
I look forward to making new friends now that I have all the time in the world now that I'm retired and Loving every day of it.
They gave me Pendasa 250mg 4 pills 4 x a day. I started them 3 days ago, my first crohen's meds.I was having a flair and going 6-8 times a day. I must have a mild case because in just 3 days, today for the first time in a long time I had a small, but normal BM. Ya buddy. No more pain in my gut and I can now say that I'm not wondering when passing gas.(if you know what I meen) It worked that fast for me. Knock on wood. I know I will have flairs, but I'm a happy Pops tonight. I feel so good about it I feel like giving it a test and eat a raw onion. LOL not realy. I didn't think it would work after looking at other sites and not finding much possative info on the use of Pendasa. They were saying all kinds bad things about it so, needless to say I didn't have much hope. Well "Right now" I'm very happy and could go on and on but I'll save you and stop now.
PS: I know there will be flairs coming someday and I'll "NEED YA ALL"
Have a great day and God bless you.
