I wish I had just to have a few extra minutes to checkout the website Kirsty. Ron, I wish you could go a length of time without tummy problems. Dave, you do have a good heart to to treat your dad so well. Hope you are getting some good rest right now. Gotta go do my PT. Don't want to right now, but always feel better when I do.
 
Dave,sending you hugs my friend,it's so stressful when family are sick.
Ron,I hope you're feeling better today.None of us should take this darn disease for granted.Trysha and Kirsty,how're the aches and pains doing ? Please tell me (us) there's been some improvement.Mandy,sending support to you mate,and Doug and Sandy,well what can I say except I hope today's better for both of you.
 
Thanks Carol xx
I need all the support i can get,my joints falling apart n support stockings just dont cut it :wink:
 
Just got back from PT, grocery store, and pet store (for Allie's sensitive tummy dog food). Whew! I'm exhausted. Allie who is usually good at sticking right with me while I bring groceries in (follows me to the car and back) decided she wanted to go for a run down the street. I was too tired to chase her and know she always comes back as long as the dog catcher is not around. At least I don't have to walk her later today. I wish that I could let her walk herself every day.:ybiggrin:
 
This Friday I go to my doc re my knee, shoulder, and ear, nose throats issues. With that and the gastro I should have some progress by the end of this week. Still can't put weight on my knee.
 
I'm freaking out. There are shakeups happening at work. Basically, I work for the Wisconsin club of a national company, and we're owned by the Michigan club. But I was just told now that we're being absorbed by the Illinois club. Our company president is taking early retirement and the rest of us do not know if we'll still have jobs or not. I really, really need my job. Not just to pay my bills but also to keep my health insurance! We won't really find out more until after April 1st is what I've been told, so it all feels like a really bad joke. I'm just trying not to cry (and failing). I hate this. If I lose my job and health insurance, I'm completely and utterly screwed.
 
Hang in there Cat. I lost my SSI for a year (they arbitrarily decided I wasn't disabled because of a caseworker with a bee up her behind), including the Medicare part, and though difficult, we got thru it until I was considered disabled again, several months after I was put on oxygen. Hopefully you will not get to that point though. Hugs and prayers coming your way (though you don't necessarily believe in prayer, it can't hurt. Consider it positive thoughts coming your direction, which can also make a big difference in and of itself.)💛💛💛
 
Thank you, Sandy. I know positive thinking can help a lot and I'm really trying not to stress too much. My boss said that there's nothing we can do and that we won't know more for a little while anyway. Exercise always helps me with my stress level, so I'm about to head out to my GI appointment soon (better see him while I still have insurance!) and after that I can go home. It's snowing intermittently today, but I'm hoping I can still walk my dog after work, because I really just need to get outside and escape from this for a little while.

When it rains, it pours, too. Hubby just got his hours cut last week as it's now the slow season for the restaurant he works at. Fortunately he had already been planning to update his resume today and look at applying for some other jobs, now this just gives him more incentive to do that. He isn't offered insurance at his current job, so I'm really hoping he can find a better job that does offer insurance. We'll be okay as long as we can have health insurance! That's the part I'm really worried about. I have a small amount of savings (it was earmarked for a newer car, but now Vroomey Yumi is going to have to last awhile longer - yes, I named my car Yumi, she's Japanese after all). So I'm not too worried about being able to pay our bills, at least not in the short-term, but lack of insurance is very worrying to me. Hopefully everything will be fine after April 1 and I'll still keep my job, but I can't count on that right now. Ugh.
 
Oh Cat...thats distressing news . Sandy is right tho postive thinking time hun. Positivity brings positivity...try not to worry to much hun. Easier said than done i know.
Im a i'll worry about stuff when i have to kinda girl. Till then it goes on the backburner as such. I really hope hubby gets sorted with another job too and it has insurance included. Best of luck to you both. 💕💕💕:hug:
 
By the way.. i had a letter re my last scan when i got home today..all clear no active crohns ☺☺. Just got to see if Gi can help with the weight loss issue!!. Fingers crossed he can ☺
Love n best wishes to all 💕💕💝
 
Thanks Ron... so am i as il be 3yrs in remission come march. Cant believe iv done so well on that front.☺ or its been that long actually...
Just wish everyone was having long remissions too 💕💕💕
 
Thanks, guys. I'm feeling a bit better about it today. There's nothing I can do about it so I'm trying to release that worry but that's easier said than done. I'm taking walks and exercising as much as I can because I know that's the best anti-stress and anti-depressant for me. That's definitely helping.

Mandy, congrats on your remission! As far as you needing to gain some weight, have you tried any supplemental drinks or powders? Those have a lot of vitamins and are fairly high in calories, so they might be able to help you gain some weight in a relatively healthy way. Make sure to read the labels first, though - some contain carrageenan, which is a no-no as it can make IBD worse, and some of them contain a lot of sugar/fructose too. But if you can find one that has good ingredients and works well for you, it might help a lot. Good luck!
 
Hi Cat..ye iv been on fresubin for a couple of years. Doc said today that he will refer me to dietician n see what she thinks. Maybe up the calorific values on the drinks..
So we will see!!!.. 💞

Carol you really need to keep away from those moving stairs girl lol x
 
In just over one hour I get to see my G.I. Unfortunately trying Humira every other week again has failed, so today will be making the choice of my new biologic. The choices the insurance company will approve are Remicade, Entyvio, and Cimzia. I have done some research that last few months and I think Entyvio would be best out of that list. It actually was developed specifically for IBD. Will see what the doctor thinks this afternoon.
 
Good luck, Doug! I hope you can get the med you want, and that it helps you a lot, and that the darn insurance company doesn't fight you on this one!
 
I'm just in the waiting room. Waiting to see my gastro. Doug you and I so time things together it's rather funny. Both weekly Humira both at gastro both making medicine decisions
 
Kirsty that is so funny! Wow!

The new biologic is Entyvio! I don't expect a problem from the insurance company because in every letter I got from the insurance company where they denied our appeals on weekly Humira, they showed a list of biologics they would approve, Entyvio was on the list. So they better approve this! I am just glad to have a direction.
 
And while Doug was in a good mood after doctor's appointment, I asked if it would be okay if I spent a little money on nails and eyebrows. Didn't even go home before they got done. :rof:
 
Hi all, I'm back home after my day out. Ok so the plan is:
1. Do diary for Crohn's for two weeks
2. Next Friday get bloods done to check trough levels for Humira
3. Stop taking Humira
4. Start remicade process
5. Once on remicade I.e. Through loading doses then sort out azathiroprine shunting by starting allopurinol
6. Once settled then look at any outstanding functional issues and sort out what's left.

We have a plan. Yay! For moving forward.

Now just got to sort out my knee, start that with doc on Friday.
 
Good news Doug n Kirsty. Really hope all goes to plan and you both get to feel better and enjoy a nice long remission period. 💕💕:hug:

Humira Buddy!! It is nice to have a plan. Mine is:

1. Take my last Humira injection to help symptoms go away.

2. Start a temporary round of Prednisone, to keep symptoms from getting out of control again while #3 is going forward.

3. Dr's office starts the procedure to get Entyvio approved. This could take up to a few weeks.

4. Start Entyvio.
 
Doug and Aura, I'm glad to hear that you both have good plans in place. I hope everything works out according to plan and you both feel a lot better!

Sandy, good thinking! I've decided that I'm not going to treat myself (not going to spend money on anything but necessities and bills) until I know for sure what's going on with my job - but that's 2 months away, so this is going to be really difficult. But maybe I can live vicariously through you and your nails & eyebrows. ;) Good thing I had stocked up on yarn and fabric prior to the shakeups at work! At least I can still sew and crochet for awhile longer. And I have been trying to do a lot of free fitness-type outdoorsy things, like hiking and ice skating. As long as I don't spend money, it's okay.
 
Eeek! I got a call last night reminding me that I had volunteered (several months ago) to host a women's club organization that I belong to at our house this Friday. I have a list of who is who is hosting for the month somewhere, but of course I have temporarily misplaced that list. I had totally forgotten that I volunteered! Eeek, eeek eeek! It also entails coming up with some kind of refreshment. It's going to be a busy couple of days. We really need a fresh coat of paint in a couple of places, but of course that isn't going to happen beforehand. The one room with carpet, the sunken living room, also really needs to be shampooed as well as the couch. We will have to dig up a few of our folding chairs from downstairs and clean them up. Doug has agreed to take Allie for a ride so she doesn't jump all over the 15 to 20 ladies. At least my nails and my eyebrows will look good (LOL). And I still like our new floors. :)
 
Thought I would throw this in just for fun.
2017-02-01%2011.33.37_zpsnc9jmmfw.jpg
 
Sandy, do they have to be fancy refreshments, or could you get away with making something along the lines of rice krispy treats? (That's my go-to, they are easy to make and belly friendly for me.) Maybe you could have your teenage helpers help you make some refreshments? I hope all goes smoothly, that sounds very stressful to me!

And wow! I knew eagles were impressive, but those things look like bear claws! We've had a warmer than average winter here, so most of the eagles have spread out or gone elsewhere and I've only seen one so far this winter.
 
Those eagle talons are a lot bigger than I expected too! It brought back memories of a time when Doug and I were outside in our yard in the house we used to live in with a former dog of ours, an American Eskimo named Moko, a beautiful silky white haired dog in the spitz family, mid size (a lot bigger in mass than Allie, but not in weight, and ironically the breed developed in Germany, not the US). We were at the edge of the house, slightly under the eaves so couldn't see the roof line, when this big, and I mean HUGE, object flew off the roof and headed straight for the dog. We could actually feel the wind that a massive wing span produced. It was an owl, and when it saw us there (not hidden under the eaves from him anymore) he headed right back for the roof. That owl wanted Moko (the dog), and would have tried to carry him off if we weren't there. Of course, we all went in the house after that. Moko in his own right was an excellent hunter ( we used to call him the great white hunter) and was known for catching birds and rodents. He loved chasing squirrels. One day not too long after this incident occurred, Moko came in from playing in the yard a little shaken up and slightly tattered looking. Out in the yard there were bird feathers everywhere. We never saw the owl again.
Completely different subject, I'm afraid the ladies will expect something a little more elaborate then rice krispies treats, and the (helper) girls don't really know how to cook or bake yet (tho I am starting to teach them. It's kind of fun to do that.) I found a recipe today that looks fairly easy for something called cinnamon roll cake, and out of the about 65 reviews, all of them gave it five stars. I think I will try that. One of the girls was here today to help clean and she got a lot done, some of the deeper cleaning. She said she can come back tomorrow night to help and said she would check with her sister to see if she wants to come also to earn a little more spending money than normal. I will have them cleaning folding chairs and setting up the room. Things are under control.
 
Aw how lovely...a proper ball of fluff ☺
Hope the ladies evening goes well Sandy. Im glad the girls are helping you get ready for it. Glad that things are under control.💕💕
 
Aww Sandy! The dog's so cute!!! ^^

One of my relatives who immigrated to Perth, Australia used to own a Pomeranian that was really cute too. Too bad it passed away a few years ago. ;_;

Sandy, there was a dog that looked just like that, a big white fluffy dog - this dog was a regular at our off-leash dog park for awhile. The dog's name was Birdie. I know this, because the moment the owner would take the leash off of the dog, the dog would take off running to the other side of the park (it's a large park, too) and the poor woman would always call out very loudly, "Birdiiiiieeeee! Come!" But Birdie would never come back voluntarily and the owner would always have to go looking for him. And my dog, Lily, is so well-behaved that she'd obediently go sit by this woman whenever she yelled for Birdie to come. :p Silly Lily, she was calling for Birdie, not you!
 
Ron i get pain in my hands n fingers in particular..bloods say no imflamatory markers for arthritis but im convinced i have it as my fingers are going misshapen too. 😕
Hope you havent n like Carol said its due to the cold weather 💕
 
You just won, GI Jane!!! :award2: Well, for a couple of minutes anyway. Welcome to this thread, Last One Wins, aka LOW, aka the loony bin. :ytongue:
I hope you find a lot of friends and support here amongst the gentle ribbing.
(The idea is that the last one to post wins, but that never happens obviously.)

It could be osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis doesn't usually show up with inflammation markers in the blood.
 
I should have added in my comments regarding the Esky, there is a breed of dog that looks almost identical but is a lot bigger. That is a Samoyed. The American Eskimo dog is just a mid-sized dog. I'm off to the rat race now.
 
I'm not sure exactly what type of dog Birdie was, just white and fluffy. I guess medium-sized? Maybe large? It's been a few years since I've seen Birdie so I'm not entirely sure.

So here's me being a champion of all things awkward and klutzy: I always have to take reflux meds before I work out, so shortly before heading to the gym, I was sitting at my desk and about to take my Tums. I opened the container, and you guys know how chalky Tums are. Well, I must have opened the bottle funny or something - a huge cloud of Tums dust puffed out and went all over my pants. :p It looked like I had been attacked by baby powder or chalk dust. I tried to wipe it off with a tissue, but then I got little bits of tissue all over my pants too and just ended up looking worse! Oh well, if that's the worst thing that happens to me today, then I can't complain, but I thought you guys would enjoy a laugh. :) I am such a dork.
 
Cat, I have mild cerebral palsy. My wife and I have an inside joke that besides cerebral palsy CP stands for clumsy person.😋
 
Loved your story cat, it sounds like something I would do. And Ron, I loved your definition of CP. 😂 Both Doug and I have essential tremor (ET) so can also fit in the movement disorders group. It's a benign condition but can be embarrassing when people think you are nervous when you are not (or fall easily). Oh, the stories we could tell, but we will enjoy yours instead:ylol2::ylol2::ylol2:
 
By the way Cat, for the second time ever I achieved double the amount of steps I try to take in a day. PT is doing me well (even if I don't have energy for anything else those days.) Time to move up my daily goal. :) :) :)
 
Aww. A friend of mine has a little girl, 2 years old, and this girl was just recently diagnosed with both autism and CP. She just started walking though so I hope that means her CP isn't too severe? I don't know much about CP. She's a cutie though and a fighter (she was a micro-preemie so she's been through a lot in her 2 years!).
 
Hi I'm back from docs. Sandy I'll join you with a sleep study. I'm being referred to the Wellington Sleep Clinic. I had to fill out a survey that the doc printed out. I was going fine and at the bottom of first page was a list of condition. I thought I was to tick yes or no five items down I realised it was the print out of my medical conditions. Lol [emoji23] my doc laughed too and said I failed the comprehension part of the test. I've got referrals to physio for knee and shoulder.
 
Hello Everyone...
Time for me to make an effort...don't know how long it will last.
I have missed so much with you all
Doug Kirsty...hope you have every success with your new therapies
I responded well to remicade but had a reaction to it and it was discontinued...story of my life....nuff said
Sandy I loved hearing about the dogs....sorry to hear the owl disappeared.. I like owls....but dogs have the edge with me..you have some interesting wildlife around you...us city dwellers don't know the half.
Cat...here's wishing better luck for you especially when handling tums...
Ron...I get those pains in my hands and elbows and was diagnosed as osteoarthritis...can be seen on the X-rays.warmth can help the ache a bit.
Mandy ...good to hear about your remission....keep it that way....
Carol...have you de-escalated yet?
To Everyone else hope you are all keeping well and surviving the winter
We are currently surrounded with snow and freezing winds plus bitter cold....I think it's the fault of Mr T...across the border...you all know who I mean....
As you can all see I am in recovery mode once more but still a fair distance to traverse over this rough ground....
Looking forward to springtime
Cheers!
Trysha

Ah well, that very well might be the case. Il will have to get them to check it out via xray as Trysha said. Thanks Sandy.💕💕
 
Trysha so happy to see you back. Hope you continue to improve and we see much more of you here. Thanks for the xray tip.Big hugs n love 💕💕

Cat what you like ☺!!! Im as bad tho as im always dropping/spilling something due to my fingers not working to well...💕💕
 
Ooh, new friends! Welcome GI Jane and Rhoo! Hope you find the support you need here!
ヽ(^◇^*)/
 
Hi everyone. Peeping in for a win :) Hello GI Jane and rhoo. Welcome to LOW :D

I recently joined a workout class and I can't move a muscle. I'm so sore, which makes me happy weirdly [emoji14]
 
Sandy,you could have a least worn your wrestling outfit before Doug took the photo.


And that bear looks like he needs a pedicure.
 
I'll stop by for a win. Cat,my dogs(Dobby and Bruce)would be with Lily hoping to make the lady feel better. Dobby is a very sensitive and compassionate dog. She knows when I am not doing well and will be at my side for the duration. Bruce will get up and leave the room if I am too noisy ie an obstruction. He gets up,gives me a look like I'm intentionally being a jerk for interrupting his sleep and will go to another room. Yup,chuck full of compassion he is. He is very obedient and seems to genuinely enjoy following commands. He is a simple critter. So am I. :)

Good health to all.
 
Madhu, I love fitness! What type of class are you taking?

Carol, well, the alternative isn't cheap either (have you seen the cost of funerals these days?).

Sandy, holy cow! The paw is bigger than the lady holding it up!

I'm feeling whiny today. I'm just a little bit headachey and nauseous. I think I'm getting a cold and my immune system is attacking my guts just a little bit (that's what always happen when I catch a cold, ugh). I've been to the bathroom 4 times already this morning. Can't my guts just be quiet for awhile? They're always trying to get my attention. It's like a misbehaving child lives in my guts!
 
Dave, my cat is like that, she'll come and sit by me if she knows I'm not feeling well. Lily is a goofy dog and will do ridiculous things to entertain me when I'm feeling ill. :p Like, she'll roll around on the rug while making ridiculous "Grr grr grr!" sounds, then she'll stop mid-roll in a ridiculous pose (on her back with all 4 stumpy legs in the air) and look at me to make sure I'm seeing how ridiculous she is. She is definitely a comedian of the canine world, ha ha. What type of dogs are yours? Lily is a corgi, so she's naturally very ridiculous, it's just something that comes with the breed. :)
 
Hey cat, I love my zumba classes. It's so much fun. The new one I'm taking is strength and weight training. I hope I get to love it too after a while :)
 
Madhu, I've never taken zumba, but I love weight lifting! It makes me feel really strong and awesome, like a super hero. Would you recommend zumba to someone who is terrible at dancing and is very klutzy? (Me!) I'm awful at dancing and I'm not exactly graceful, would I just fail miserably if I tried zumba? Or is it still fun even if you're really bad at it?
 
Oh trust me, Cat. I can't dance to save my life :) Zumba is fun for everyone. I used to be so conscious about what people would think if they saw me dancing. Then I realized, nobody cares :D everyone just lets their hair down and have fun. You should give it a try. I'm sure you'll like it :)
 
Thanks, Madhu! My sister-in-law actually teaches zumba, so maybe I'll try going to one of her classes sometime. She's a really good dancer though so I've always felt intimidated to try. You're right, though, I don't really care what other people think of me so I should just try it and have fun. :)

Dobby is a German Shepherd and Bruce is a German Shepherd/Rottweiler. Bruce is 160+ pounds and thinks he's a lap dog. Both of them love the snow and will flop on there backs and wriggle around making happy dog sounds. Same thing with fresh cut grass. Dobby has been known to be a shade of green come summer time.

Dobby is 80+ pounds. The two of them can be intimidating to non dog people but they quickly put people at ease. They always have that doggy smile and are sociable. Dobby loves babies,with hot sauce! Ha,ha. Seriously,she is very patient with babies and likes to check them out when we are in town walking. They muckle right on to her ears and fur doing their baby gurgling and screeching and she seems to enjoy it. She is very aloof with her affection to adults she does not know.

I can ramble about my dogs for quite some time. I tire of parents endless stories...unless the kids are dogs.

Well,both our funerals are paid for,a bit maudlin I know, but saves worrying.
I always used to say,"just sit me in a corner and ignore me",but you have to take things seriously when you pass a certain age.:hallo3:

Alex usually knows when I am not feeling well.
 
I used to do "movement,fitness and dance" classes.Three times a week.We had such a good time.I was very passionate about it,was always first on the floor and last off.But you know me,I don't take anything to seriously and a laugh helps put people at ease.I was voted "Best Achiever" just before I left.And no,I wasn't expelled.

Funerals aren't paid for here (we need the insurance money from when we die:ytongue:) but people are surprised that we have our wills done at our age (I don't understand why, we're not spring chickens), and have powers of attorney and living wills set up.
Yesterday at the store a cashier complained about having to chase a customer the length of the store because he was 70 "and on the downhill side of life, not too many years left." It just blurted out that I understood because I was recently diagnosed with a condition that the average life expectancy according to the American Lung Association is only 5 years (but don't worry, I really don't fall into that category because it is highly variable according to what caused it, and I don't fit into the category that takes the numbers wayyyyyyy down, ie, familial or genetic predisposion for it. I should live a lot more years.) I think I really startled the poor man. Feel bad I still have my big mouth. After my ladies group I will have to tell you a story about bears at Yellowstone National Park.
Allie is a strange mix of thinking she has to protect us for most dogs, loving kids, thinking everyone who comes to the door should be her best friend (especially when they don't like dogs), and thinking she should chase children as a game as they run terrified from her (if they're not familiar with her antics they are terrified.) Very protective of them tho. She tries to be friends with neighborhood cats but they end up bullying her, poor baby.
 
Carol, I've talked about this with Sandy in another thread already, but I'd like to become an articulated skeleton when I die. That way I really could just be propped up in the corner! And scare little kids at Halloween (or any time of year, really)! I've even found a place that will take human bodies and turn them into articulated skeletons, although it's quite pricey (it's about $5,000). But I'm only 37 so hopefully I don't have to worry about that for a long while yet.

My grandpa paid for his funeral in advance and planned all the details (picked out his own casket), and even wrote his own obituary! We just had to fill in some blanks, like what age he was and what year he died, etc. He was a very meticulous person about that sort of thing, I would have been surprised if he hadn't written his own obituary, honestly. And those who read his obituary all complimented it, saying it was very well-written. I'm sure when I get a bit older, I'll write a draft of mine as well.

Speaking of obituaries, did you guys see this one? This lady was from my city although I didn't know her. She wrote her own obit and it went viral because of how clever and witty it was.
http://host.madison.com/news/local/...cle_f227a2bb-51dc-53cd-bb5b-f4fec9f20a0e.html

Sandy, Lily is like that as well - anyone who comes to the door is her new best friend. We've tried and tried to train her to at least bark when someone comes to the door, but usually she forgets to do even that and is just eager to meet her new best friend. :p But if there's a squirrel around, or another dog across the street, she will fearlessly defend me from those terrors. Ha ha. I want to hear the bear story! I hope your hosting today goes well.
 
The sun is shining yay! Summer has been very wet this year. The farmers paddocks are flooded after the rain on Thursday. I need to do some chores today. I'll do that after steve goes to golf. I also need to blanch some beans and freeze them. I picked a bucket full yesterday. Lots of washing to do as well. Sounds like a busy day.
 
Aura, that sounds lovely! It's winter here of course, so it's pretty cold and there's snow on the ground and maybe more coming tomorrow. I miss summer, it feels so far away right now!
 
A co-worker is donating her body to some place that teaches forensics. She called it a body farm. I think she even had to pay as well as make arrangements for 'delivery'. They don't pick up.
