Hi Crohnites

[sky.i.scrape]

Just a quick hello! No use in sharing my story, it probably looks a lot like yours - literally. Pain, poop, pain, blood, pain, etc. - repeat - on and on, endlessly. There is comfort in community, so here, I am and there you are.

So, hi, forum... How are you tonight?

welcome! I'm sleepy but I have a toddler who is being a terror so here I am

Are those your current symptoms now? Are you on meds? I'm feeling pretty decent these days but I just had surgery 7 months ago ... my dr said that should keep me feeling pretty good for hopefully at least a year.

Hi there and welcome

I'm doing pretty good tonight, thanks for asking. Are you on any specific meds?

I wish you well

Hey Jennifer... you have the 'wild child' symptom along with the rest? Wishing you rest and all the best!

Those are my symptoms and have been for the past year or so. I've been on Lialda, 6MP (100mg) and Prednisone (finished the taper a month ago). Still no relief. Started Humira today. I've tried making dietary changes with little to no success (80/10/10 & juice fasting).

Thank you, David!

Just typed out the med's I'm on in the last reply.

It's an IBD circus.

I hope the Humira works out for you!

 

[JThorn676]

Thank you

I'm sorry you've been feeling ill for so long. I hope the Humira works for you!

Thanks David and Jennifer for the warm welcome!

There is definitely comfort in numbers... e.g. number of available toilets.

Wishing you both the very best!

I'm already feeling at home! Being able to laugh is huge. I can't stress that enough. I don't want a disease without laughter.

Amen, Sky! I feel the same. Not a disease, not a job, not a day, without laughter. :dance:

Couldn't agree more! The best medicine of all - and, it doesn't cost any extra.
