A mini-vent while I take that win back.

I hate it when your all ready to take care of all the pepers laying around and sorting out what needs to be printed and the web-site you need about 3 documents from is down. Argh!
There.. thankyou.. I will go do something else then and see if it works tomorrow. :)

That's right, I'm on Team Bug! Which is B Team for Bug and for Bee and for Beauties, so B team is the place to be anyway. Plus there's more of us and we'll squash you this year!
 
I still don't get the whole A team thing lol

That's what they all say when they fail the entry requirements.

Mary, Sanni, Marcia and Dee - now come on - let's be serious - do you really think you have the combined fire power to beat me to the prize? Really?
 
Oh poor dear Bobert - I think any one of us women alone could more than handle you and your race to the prize, but together ... you're toast!
 
Well Bobert, just remember I managed one prize from you last year...not to pour salt on 20,000 wounds or anything...but...

Mary, don't let Bobbie Bear bother you to much, he just needs to growl every now and then!
 
Well ......... she is a bit like a cheerleader really - that reminds me about Teresa's comments about Kylie - boy is she in trouble!!
 
I can just see Bobert sitting in his jail cell smoking his cigars, looking over at his lifesized cardboard cut out of Kylie...'oh kylie my love, don't let me forget to yell at Teresa for talking like that about you...'
Isn't insanity charming??!

I'm about the same, weight is down a bit. I got for remi # 3 next week, GI week after. Good luck with GI team, please let us know how it goes. Is the cdif under control/gone?
 
Oh good!!! Hugs!!! How are you feeling??
I hope I get some answers today, but you know about how much I trust my team there. I will see the actual Drs for about 5 mins of them yappin at ne then runnin on to the next chart! I just hop we make it! Lots of unplanned stops this am. Only have another hlf hr until the appointment, and we are still about 40 miles out! Eeeek! Lol...good thing the roads are clean.

Still on high doses of flagyl for the c diff. On pred for the flare. I hate them both!!! I think they're worse than what they're treating!!!
No good you're down weight...you need all you've got!!!! I'm prayin for you!

Me too Dee!
Bug flagyl is like poison to your body! It is for parasites etc!!! I took it once and will not again, I promise you that. Read up on it!!!
Loves to you both!
I lost 5 lbs in 3 days!!! I think going off neurontin did it. Water weight!:eek2:

BUG, call your DR. and let them know you are running late or they might skip you and tell you too late!!!
 
I've never been on flagyl but by the sounds of it don't want to. Bug how much pred and for how long? Will you stay on remi?
 
I'm here on and off! Lol. I'm late. Ugh. I was on a taper...only 20mgs for another 3 more days. They're actually talking bout doubling my remi. Have an infusion on the 20th. I guess we will see what they say.
 
Good, that means she's headed to the doc hopefully for some answers and a better game plan to get this under control.
 
Yes, let's hope the double Remi does the trick!
I'm still feeling icky today! I think maybe a banana for breakfast???
 
I don't much eat breakfast, I know it's a bad habit. Hubby makes me drink a choco milk shake thing just for sugar/calories to get me going. Not big on lunch either, I nibble. Dinner I LOVE and after dinner snacking is my downfall. I eat from 4 pm - midnight. Maybe that should be a resolution this year, to flip my eating times around. And maybe that's why I'm up all night too lol.
 
Yeah, it's harder to do tahn you think! But I have found when I eat three meals a day (which is rare) I don't snack as much. Not hungry! But always want popcorn!!!:thumleft:
 
What do you eat when you're flaring? When you feel icky, but are hungry too? Don't want to get the abdomen going again! I should get some of those shakes to keep onhand.

Lori that I take care of sometimes eats popcorn for dinner.

must go get ready for massage, my prize for today. wish I could ship one to all of you.
 
bye T, T, T, B, DEE and C and C Sanni, and (K - it's a good thing we adopted you!) and all looney people that I didn't mention.

even the unmentionable uncle.
 
I don't know what I eat when I'm flaring because I honestly still don't know the dif between flare and normal, I just have crohn's and eat whatever and don't really suffer much from food stuff, only stress gets my gut going. But when I'm sick I like grilled cheese ... comfort food. Toast and butter is good. and now I want popcorn too darn it. Going to see The Hobbit for real this afternoon, no mistake about it and will have popcorn too!
 
Toast.. for thats what I use to have. Just toast and butter... but yeah.. now I want popcorn. :D

Sorry! Didn't mean to get ya started on the popcorn again! Why is it we want what we shouldn't eat? Sanni, do you eat white toast or wheat?

Are you seeing it in 3D? Plz let me know how you like it, because we may go this weekend!!:thumleft:
 
Yes to 3D, boo to unripe banana, hooray for toast, especially if it's a bagel or an english muffin! Sprinkle some brown sugar on too ... mmmmm.
 
BRAT diet. Bread, rice, apple's, toast. (ginger is good too.)

Yes, I do know about brat diet. I take a ginger capsule everyday. I used to take 2. But I haven't noticed much from it. Thanx though!

Robbie, will check out your creative word game:thumleft:
 
So here's going out on a limb, cuz I know I'm not supposed to get seriuos on here, but I don't understand fistulas. I know a part of our insides grows and attaches to another part, usually requiring surgery. Why do so many CD people have them, how would I know if I had one, etc?

My guess is that the constant inflammation to one part of your intestine, weakens the wall and it blows outward and grows till it reaches something to attach to. Maybe a stricture(Blockage) in the area of your intestine too could cause it to search for another way to expel crap! Technical terms!!!:biggrin:
 
Teresa, When I was ill I had white toast (that would be wheat).. nowdays I prefer graham toast... or full grain but not with any seeds or grains in it. Not sure if that made any sense. But when my stomach was at its worst it really only handled the white bread and it had to be tosted too.

:rof: technical terms :ybiggrin: love it (not the fistula)
 
I loved the Brady Bunch!

One more question - can a fistula appear as a giant lump on your butt and break open and keep leaking blood for months? (hubby, not me)

Bug how did doc go?
 
I misinformed with the BRAT diet. It is:

BRAT diet: bananas (ripe), rice, apple sauce (no whole apple's because of peel) and toast. It is good for anyone who needs a bland diet, low fiber to help with inflamed bowels, or stomach flu.

I win because I now HAD my massage. Bear, I'll go check out your suggestion.

Yes. It can. But that could also be a boil.

And it went ok I suppose. I had a ton of labs drawn. I have to have a barium swallow study done for the esophageal cd. And scopes from both ends in about 6 wks. Gotta try vanco to kill the cdiff. Then a trough level and antibody test before next remi. Ive lost an average of two lbs a day this last week tho, and I'm too low again. So I have to try high cal/protien shakes again...boo.

Hows ur day???
 
....................... actually it is my birthday soon - I am sure I am having more than one a year recently.

The older you get,the faster time goes.I have forgotten about your attrocious behaviour at the airport already,and I bet Kylie has forgotten who the guy was who picked her up.:thumleft:

It starts as an ulcer.It blows its way through the intestinal wall and connects to something else. How you know if you have one depends on what they connect to, pain, etc..You'll also know if you have one...depending on what it connects to. Like your skin (lovely thought), bladder, or (for women) the uterus, etc.. Those connections will show signs of an issue. My fistula connected the bypassed most of my small intestine and reconnected to the gut further down. I had no idea of that problem until I was given a small bowel exam to test for it.
