Doug, that sucks. I'm angry on your behalf! Did they give any reason as to why they'll cover basically anything but Humira? I can't even imagine it's based on cost, since I know the other biologics are crazy expensive too. Ugh, that's frustrating. What are you going to do now?
 
They are denying the weekly Humira because the dosage is in excess for both FDA and the Insurance Company's own guidelines, which is a injection every 2 weeks. Doesn't matter that dosage is failing and it is a common practice to move to weekly injections.

I am waiting to hear back from my G.I.'s office to see where we are going now, but I would not be surprised if it is a move to Remicade.

I was informed this morning by my insurance company they have denied my prescription for weekly Humira injections. They informed me they would approve Remicade, Entivyo, or Cimzia. I hate insurance companies playing doctor.

Sorry, Doug. The doctors know better. I am feeling cabin fever right now. The surgeon says I can't lift more than five pounds. I hope he takes me off that soon. It has been raining today and I don't want to get the surgery wet.
 
I was just asking Doug the same thing, so where does he go from here? I know he has a GI appt on the 7th. Like I told him, it's like the insurance companies playing doctor and the doctors playing god, (and neither are qualified).
Carol, I've been thinking of closing down my Facebook account for a long time. It's very complicated why I have stayed on, but I'm within a fraction of an inch of closing my account at this point.
By the way, I want new flooring AND a new couch (but that just isn't going to happen right now). But I can always dream. I've also dreamed about a couple floorplan changes. That's my therapy (dreaming) like Cat likes to sooth herself with little gifts to herself.
Tell me to stop eating these dried apricots I'm eating, or I'm going to have HUGE tummy problems. And I'm jealous of the sheepskin slippers, but I have to wear hard soled shoes and even hard soled slippers (and supposed to wear them all the time, even inside, with orthopedic inserts because of foot problems if not wearing orthopedic shoes). Why does life have to be so complicated?
Time to go grocery shopping, we're out of everything it seems.
 
Ron, I've always hated those lifting with surgery, etc. restrictions too. Keep reminding yourself it won't last forever. Hugzzzzz!
 
Just wrote a long ish post n it went belly up. So hugs to all n loves to all. I will try again tomorrow. As i should be sleeping lol . 💕💕💝💝💋💋
 
Okay, I know you guys are full of good ideas and I need advice. What do you buy when you need to get an xmas gift for somebody you don't like? My husband's sister is married to this guy who I strongly dislike. In a nutshell, he's cheated on her a lot. They're staying together though (they have 5 kids and neither of them can afford to be single with that many kids, so they're trying to work it out) and I really do need to give him a gift. I think he's a scumbag though (my hubby agrees). Any ideas as to what to get him for xmas?
 
I agree with Ron,a gift is thoughtful and personal,but a gift card isn't.Or you could get him a padlock for his pants zipper.
Ron,I know I've posted this before somewhere about post-op restictions,but I'll do it again.
When I had my hysterectomy the doc.told me I could drive in 6wks. I said "Thanks doc.that'll be wonderful,because I couldn't drive when I came in"...

What do you call a camel with no hump........Humphry.
 
Carol your a card lol...😆

Cat i agree a gift card is ideal. No thought needed to be wasted on him . I no where you coming from on his behaviour ..

Big hugs to all :ghug:
 
Thanks guys! That's a good idea. Now to figure out how cheap I can be on his gift card, ha ha. Is $10 too cheap? What about $15?

New vent for today: A co-worker apparently has been puking all day. She finally went home sick around noon, but who knows where she's spread her germs to by this point, ugh! I'm washing my hands and not touching my face, and she works in another department that's somewhat far away from mine in the building (and I think she's only used the bathrooms that are on a floor below the floor that I work on), so I'm hoping I didn't get infected. But it's possible she infected other people and they're now walking around also spreading those germs...

That's the last thing I need is to get a tummy bug. Out of curiosity, I googled the incubation times of rotavirus and norovirus - within 48 hours, it said. Sooo, if I caught my co-worker's tummy bug, and it takes 48 hours to hit me, that will pretty much put me right in the MRI scanner at the time it hits. :p How perfect would that be, to drink that vile contrast and then get hit with a tummy bug and have it coming out both ends in the scanner! So I just have to hope that I wasn't infected. I *hate* when sick, contagious people come to work anyway! Keep your germs at home! I surely don't need them!

I'm trying to remain hopeful that she's got something non-contagious, like food poisoning. Maybe she just ate some thanksgiving leftovers that went bad. Really I just have to try to not think about it, I'm making myself nauseous just being worried about it! Sorry for the long vent.
 
Lets hope it was food poisoning n not a virus Cat. Really hope you havent caught it hun...venting is good for the soul ,so they say..whoever they are 😃
The results from my last scan that were clear are showing no signs of active crohns so heres hoping the bits they rescan on Sunday are the same ☺
My colo results are clear also ☺
So far so good...
 
You're right Mandy, Carol is a card (and not a gift card, tee hee). And I double agree with you Cat, I hate it when people go to work sick. Tho I'm not the one on an immuno supressant, I tend to get everything. The year that the H1N1 (swine) flu was in full swing, I got that. In fact, I came down with it on Thanksgiving day and I was hosting a large family dinner, almost 20 people. I couldn't finish preparing the meal, my mom, for a change, took over and noone else got sick. Last year I got another flu. And I've had a flu shot every year for years, but of course it can't protect against new strains. The "swine flu" I know I got after visiting a neighbor who was sick and coughing and blowing her nose constantly, looked miserable, and works in the section of clinic where my doc is located. She could have cancelled our planned visit, but said when I got there and saw her "it's just a cold," tho those are contagious too. When I went to my cardiologist's office, the nurse practitioner apologized for her sniffing and coughing because she was "just getting over" a cold. And it's amazing how when I quit working I stopped getting several bouts of bronchitis a year from everyone bringing in their respiratory infections. One year I was working for an attorney who made it clear when I was hired that it wouldn't be acceptable if I stayed home "with every sniffle and tummy ache." One day, I was walking to work, my boss drove by in his vehicle and saw me (I lived in downtown Salt Lake at the time), my tummy was really rumbling and all of a sudden, with no urgency to use the bathroom, I had a "D" accident. I had to go back home, clean up and change real quick, and head back to work. Too many people share their germs. And I won't even go into my pet peeves about public restrooms, I'll just say I always use a paper towel (or kleenex from my purse) to open the door.
All that rant and I'm actually in a pretty good mood today (for a change:ytongue:) I got a lot done yesterday, have my teenaged helper coming today (but there isn't that much for her to do) and if I get a chance going to do a little Christmas decorating. My tummy is fairly calm between not as frequent bathroom trips, I was able to thwart off another migraine last night, and my racing heart is the only thing (besides over doing) that makes me feel not well (if I don't count my permanent restrictions and I'm not) the last couple of days. And I think I know the cause of the heart issues, but need to get a doc to look in that direction. Hope you all are doing as well as can too.
(TRYSHA, AND KIRSTY ETC., JUST SAY "BOO" so we know you are there!)
Hi, Trev!
 
Kirsty, do more than just say "boo" - we're long overdue for a new puppy photo, we are in Jammer withdrawal! ;)

Sandy, I feel similarly about public restrooms, and I always lay down a thick layer of TP on the seat before I sit. And I will say, you might want to never visit Japan. :p Public bathrooms there almost never have soap! Like, there's not even a dispenser. You just rinse your hands and that's it, that's apparently the Japanese way. Ew! It drove me and my mom crazy because we're germaphobes and hand sanitizer just doesn't cut it. And it was so odd because it's otherwise such a clean and hygienic country! At one point, I discovered a product in a Japanese shop called "paper soap" - it's little sheets of paper, and if you get them wet they foam up and dissolve and become soap. My mom and I used that paper soap for the rest of the trip, it was the best purchase ever. I've bought a bunch more since then for things like hiking/traveling because I hate, hate, hate using the bathroom and not having soap to wash with.

And I also always get the flu shot, but I seem to get the flu every third year or so anyway. I always seem to catch it from my nieces, too. I can tell you, the last time I had the flu I caught it from my youngest niece who was a baby at the time (who even brings a sick baby to xmas??!! Oh right, my sister-in-law and her cheating husband) and the time before that, I caught it from my middle niece. Those kids always get me sick.

I definitely worried myself into a stomachache, but I think I'm okay for now. Because I'm me, I decided to go to the store (I needed toilet paper anyway) and get myself a treat. :p I kept it way cheap this time, I just got a new pair of socks. There is a picture of a cat wearing a business suit on the socks, so obviously they were a necessity in my life, ha ha. So if I do end up sick, at least I will now have new cute socks to wear when I go to the ER to get rehydrated. Winning?
 
Cat i do the toilet paper on the seat too..i always hate using the exit door handle as i know some folk dont wash their hands after and will leave germs on it arghhh😠. I try n use my elbow or body to open the door depending on how it opens.
Socks sound cute hun..good luck for tomorrow ? hope you get through the prep n scan ok. 💕💕
 
Ah ok..hope you can be rid of it soon as that will mean you are healing well. Best wishes to you Ron. 💕💕
 
Yeah, tomorrow's my scan! I'm doing okay, with being so worried yesterday about getting a tummy bug I gave myself some gut grumbles (I'm so gassy now, ha ha) but otherwise so far so good. I haven't caught the bug (knock on wood!). Your scan is on Sunday? I hope all goes well with yours too. I will be thinking of you!
 
IN TODAY'S PAPER.......Nasa is offering a reward of £24,000 in it's Space Poop Challenge to find a device that will allow astronauts to go to the toilet in their spacesuits.
Sounds like the perfect job for a chronie,if you ask me.I offer myself as a tester,although I might get a few funny looks riding little blackie in a spacesuit.

I hope everything goes as you want it to tomorrow Cat, and of course you too Mandy on Sunday (?)
 
What a great mental image, a person in a spacesuit riding a bicycle! You must make that happen, Carol.

How do the astronauts poo currently? I'm not even sure how that works. But it must not work very well if they are looking for a new system of pooing in space! (On that note, how do they pee? And I'm guessing they drink water through a straw? Liquids must be such a challenge in space!)

Edited to add: And, and, and! What if the astronauts throw up? Or get a runny nose? Or have an open wound that's bleeding?
 
Best of luck Cat and Mandy , may your test be pain and stress free ,
Ron hope you got on well with the surgeon .
 
Hah, it's still over 24 hours till my scan and I can tell you it's already not stress-free. :p It's been causing me stress all week just thinking about it. The stress will be gone once it's over and I'm home, so can we just fast-forward to that part please? ;)

It seems like testing is always stressful. Hang in there.
 
Yeah, always stressful and never pleasant. I've never had an MRE before but it sounds like the opposite of fun. I have to sit in the waiting room for an hour before my scan and drink what sounds like a large amount of oral contrast. The contrast, of course, causes diarrhea. Then I have to lie in the MRI machine on my stomach. Yeah, that'll be great - with a belly absolutely full of laxative, I'm sure lying completely still on my stomach for awhile will be just peachy. :p Then I get to drive myself home while trying not to crap myself. It's going to be fun, ha ha. ;)
 
Ye Mines sunday Cat... ye il get to drive home too..thank god for porta potty as iv got at least half an hours drive if i dont get lost as im going to a hospital i dont know how to get to 😨

Thanks for the best wishes folks. Big hugs to all 💞💞
 
I think the space suit modification is for when they are outside the space station.It must take a good while to get the suit off and on and get in and out the station, and an upset tum would cause huge problems.I'm sure they have some sort of apparatus to pee in inside the suit though..... On a different topic,if you get the chance to watch David Attenborough's Planet Earth 2,don't miss it.Absolutely mind blowing.Worth every penny of the TV license and you won't hear me saying that very often.
 
Mandy, oh my goodness, that sounds scary! I hate going new places when I'm stressed or under pressure. I presume you have a map and/or your phone to give you directions to the hospital? Going to a new place on top of the rest of it all, eek. I do know how to get to my hospital, but it's undergoing massive construction/remodeling right now so I'm going to have to figure out how and where to get my car into the parking ramp in the midst of all the construction. That's not going to be fun either. I don't envy your half hour drive - if traffic is good, I can get from the hospital to my home in about 10 minutes. So, hopefully we both get good traffic and don't get lost and find exactly where we need to go on the first try.
 
Trysha, I see you are hugging posts! Yay, Trysha's (kind of) back! :) Hope you're doing okay? I think you were having technical difficulties last time you posted, so I presume that's still happening which is why you haven't responded lately. Hopefully those issues are resolving if you're able to hug posts. I'm a mod but I don't know much of anything about the technical side of the forum, so I don't know that I can be of any help, but glad to see you around!
 
Oh man, I was was going to say thanks for saying "boo" in your own way Trysha, but it fell somewhere in my black hole in my head, and I didn't say it on the forum, just my mind.
Thought I would share a photo of my home town on Main Street with its Christmas lights. I know you know I like my home state, but like my home town as well. It's obviously not a big town, basically just a bedroom community with small town feel, no industry to speak of, just a little line of small shops downtown, but close to and sandwiched between bigger towns. I know you know I like my home state, but I like my home town as well.

Gorgeous, Sandy! I love love love xmas lights. This year in my city, there are 2 big light shows - one in a park and one at the zoo. The one at the zoo is new, this is the first year they've done this, and I'm SO excited to go to it! I'm hoping my hubby wants to go tomorrow night.

Today's my MRE, ugh. I have to go NPO in about 45 minutes, so I'm forcing down a smoothie and as much water as I can now. So not looking forward to this. I just need it to be tomorrow. (Or for Mandy's sake, we can just fast-forward to Monday!)
 
Complainey time. I hate being NPO. It's been just over an hour and I feel like I'm already getting a headache because I can't drink water. Blehhhhhh. 2 hours 45 minutes to go until I can drink again (but even then, it's just the contrast that I'm allowed to drink, so that's not actually better). Sorry for venting, I just hate everything about today.

Is it possible for humans to hibernate? Because I want in on that. If I could just hibernate though bad times, that would be awesome. Also, I want whatever crazy metabolism thing bears have when they hibernate. My husband trained as an animator, and he had a freelance gig once where he had to animate what happens to bears when they hibernate. It's fascinating, bears turn all their fat stores into muscle when they hibernate, so in the spring they come out lean and ripped. I want that to happen for me! I want to sleep for several months and come out with nice abs! :p I see no downside to that!
 
That looks like our Allie Sandy.How is she by the way ? I remember you saying she was off her food last week ? I hope she's better now.belly rubs and ear scratch from her auntie.

Thats really lovely ,
 
Great news Ron!! I preferred the MRE to the prep CAT. Good luck. Infusion day for me.

Boo!
 
Great news Ron so happy for you ☺. Glad all is good 💕💕

No map Cat got my phone but that only works here n there ...so il be goin with notes as back up.
Hope all fairly painless today n results are good. Ye roll on monday ☺ we will both be done and dusted then.. 💕💕
 
I survived! Not a fun time but it's over with now, and I fortunately managed not to crap myself. So that's a win!
 
I've felt well and have been super productive today (the contrast from yesterday's MRE doesn't seem to be bothering me at all, thank goodness - if anything, I think it actually firmed up my stools a bit!). I wrapped some presents, walked the dog, vacuumed, did grocery shopping, and went shopping for another xmas gift (most of my shopping is being done online or is handmade gifts, but I went out and got fancy chocolates for my mother). Hubby gets home from work shortly, and I'm hoping he will want to go with me to the zoo because they have all the holiday lights up and free carousel rides. That sounds like a super fun thing, so if hubby doesn't want to go I'm going to pout all evening. :p Or just drag him there against his will, ha ha.
 
Yay! I couldn't post for awhile, but now I can! Winning, but things to do so I'll be back later because you know I can't stay silent for long. 😘

I'll be thinking about you.:thumright:
 
Cat,glad you're feeling well.you must try not to worry so much.I would love a trip to your zoo.If we had a one locally I would be there every day....or at least once a week.(and NOT for the xmas decs.)
 
Mandy, I wish you the best. I have a cap I have to wear at least until my next appointment to protect my scalp. It has been falling off during the night.

Hope you got to go to the zoo Cat , the pouting is an evil weapon and should only be used sparingly , the only worse weapon is the silent treatment :ywow:
 
Ron, how about sewing tape on the cap to make ties.Or maybe some type of ski mask that you could wear over the med.cap.Just clutching at straws,you understand.
 
Mandy, I hope all went well today!

We did go to the zoo last night. :) It was really fun! Today hubby had been wanting to go to the Chicago area for xmas shopping, but it's been snowing all day so I talked him into staying in instead. I hate driving in the snow, especially the first snow of the year when nobody remembers yet how to drive in snow so everyone is driving terribly. So we stayed in today, I baked cookies and now I'm on the couch in my pajamas, watching my Packers and working on a crocheted blanket. And watching the snow out my window.

Cat glad you enjoyed the zoo hun. My son wants to go to Chester zoo in the warmer weather to take our baba to see the animals. Cant wait as iv not been for years myself. It had lots of new additions added since i was last there that im looking forward to seeing.☺💕💕
 
Mandy, I so want your location 'Manchester United', but did I see you say you live in a village? Hm, quite confused here. Not sure a village team have such a large world wide following, lol.

I'm winning... the race to the loo at least.
 
Hi hun.. nice to see you ☺ no i live in a town about 10/11 miles north of Manchester..tho i do work in a village ☺
I mite be winning to loo race if this bowel prep stuff kicks in anytime soon 😕
Hope your doing ok hun. 💕:hug:
 
Ooh, can I be a celebrity too? I am an IBDiva! ;)

Mandy, we didn't even really see any animals at the zoo, they have a thing at nighttime where there are all sorts of pretty xmas lights at the zoo. It was really pretty and fun, and the carousel at the zoo was giving unlimited free rides too. So we went for the xmas lights rather than the animals. :)

Course you can Cat☺. Ah right that sounds really good. I bet it was really pretty too. How many rides did you go on...💕💕
 
We just went on one carousel ride and then walked around looking at the pretty light displays. I get motion sick sometimes so one carousel ride was enough for me! :p

My hubby's car wouldn't start this morning until we jump-started it. He says he didn't leave the lights on, but I'm wondering. The battery is only 2 years old so it should still be good, unless he did something like leave the lights on. The car started just fine yesterday so there almost has to be human error involved, right?

I can just about manage a carousel ride ..the rides i used to go many moons ago i cant stomach now as my insides seem too churn now 😯

Human error does sound like a cause to me 😆..but who knows!! or will who ever admit it :rof:
 
I can't go on many rides nowadays either. I did manage to go on most of the rides when I was at Tokyo Disneyland back in the spring. My mom gets motion sick as well, and we both decided to go on Space Mountain - ugh, never again! We both nearly were sick! Fortunately we both held it together, but when we talked about it after getting off the ride, it was clear we were both very close to vomiting. No more roller coasters for me!

Yeah, I think it's human error that hubby just won't admit to. :p I texted him once I got to work to make sure the car still seems okay, and he said he thinks it was "frozen water in the fuel line." Um, well, it's slightly warmer than freezing (the snow has been melting all day) and the car was just run yesterday and it has plenty of gas. I was always told that fuel lines in modern cars really only freeze if they've been sitting quite awhile in very cold temps with very little gas in the tank. So, although I don't know much about cars, that sounds like BS to me. I could be wrong but it sounds fishy at the very least.
 
Ughhhh, we are working on getting floors totally cleared in rooms getting refloored tomorrow. I decided I have been on the hoarding side. Ugh, ugh, ugh! I'm going to get rid of a lot of stuff today.
I used to love amusement park rides, the scarier the better (Doug was never a fan of those), but haven't dared go on any of those since I had my "heart repair" (a patch put on a whole for an atrial septal defect), which ironically is when my heart started having electrical signal difficulties.
I also have my follow up to get results of heart tests tomorrow (which means Doug has to stay home with floor installer while I'm there. I accidentally scheduled both at once and rescheduling either one would result in a wait of several weeks.) I can feel my heart doing weird things a lot lately, but if all goes according to my typical med stuff, they won't find anything. Either that or it will be something I'm not prepared for. Ugh, ugh, ugh again and more.
 
Sandy, I feel for you. I'm sloooooowly in the process of renovating my craft room (so far I've put in a new rug and got a new chair). I definitely am borderline hoarder as well, especially when it comes to crafts and my craft room. I got rid of SO MUCH stuff from just that one little room! It's the tiniest room in the house aside from the bathroom. It's 9' square. But I managed to get several carloads full of stuff out of that room to donate, and somehow that room is still full of stuff. I don't know how so much stuff can fit in a room that's literally the size of a prison cell. :p So anyway, yes, I feel your pain and I have been there as well. I need to get real with myself as to what crafts I'm going to actually do, what fabric I actually need, and how many sewing patterns I really need, and get rid of more.

I hope your heart test results come back okay and nothing scary! Good luck tomorrow.
 
A week before we move to the new house. Ugh! Final stretch of packing and I was feeling fairly proud of myself for all the throw/donate cleaning I had done recently. Apparently I should have gotten rid of more. 😲
 
Oh my. Doug took today off work to move the furniture and help with what I wasn't having a fit about him packing (I want to be able to find my stuff later), only to find out last minute that the place scheduled to have our floor installed had the install on their calendar for next week. We had worked our behinds off all weekend. I guess there were a couple good things to come of it. One is that we were having trouble getting finished in time because of bad backs and overall health. Another is that now I can go back thru some last minute thrown together boxes and either dispose of a lot of things, or give to charity. It should be a lot more organized in the end, and our backs will get a break. And Doug can come to my appointment tomorrow, which I really wanted. In the meantime, we're going to have to put back dining room furniture, etc. so it isn't sitting in the livingroom for the next week.

A week before we move to the new house. Ugh! Final stretch of packing and I was feeling fairly proud of myself for all the throw/donate cleaning I had done recently. Apparently I should have gotten rid of more. 😲

I think to cure me of my craft collecting, we're going to have to move once a year, at the very least.
 
Jammer! :D So cute!

Shanen, I don't envy you at all. If I can manage it, I'm never going to move again. :p Where are you moving to, are you staying within Minnesota? (It seems like a nice state but you guys seem to have even colder & snowier winters than we do here in WI!)

I think my GI is trolling me. I emailed him yesterday asking for 2 things - a status update on LDN, and a refill of pred. He responded this morning saying he sent the pred refill to the pharmacy. No mention of LDN, so I wrote him a response saying, "... And what about the low-dose Naltrexone?" Seriously, dude, get it together and write the prescription for LDN already!
