Reading,
Hi guys!
Sorry I havn't been posting recently, I've been very busy settling into uni life! But I have been around from time to time, having a little look so I didnt completely leave you!
Just thought I would give you a little update coz quite frankly my situation is so rediculus atm that it is laughable!!
So anyway as you may or may not know I started Uni at the end of september, and I was worried about how I might start to feel bad again because of stress. So all was well and I was having a good freshers week and then suddenly I started to feel bad again. Unfortunatley I think this was alcohol induced! (Its not fair! I like drinking, but crohnie hates it! :voodoo: ) So anyway there we are me not as good as before but not terrible by any means!
Then in October, I went home to Reading to go and see my GI and to have my cerivical cancer injection and regular blood test.
And i saw a different GI this time, he was nicer than the other one - bit of a better bed side manner. I told him the situation as I hadnt been to the hospital since December. And basicly it was a little inconclusive, he said that he was guna talk to the normal GI (his boss) and check my CRP (inflamation) and then decide whether they want to change my dosage or if they want to do anything else.
He said he would ring me in a few days and let me know.....


9 Days Later....
Havnt heard anything so my mum rang the secratery to try and find out what was going on! She rang me back and said that I needed to have a blood test to check my CRP. Which was a bit strange coz i had had a blood test done the morning i went to the hospital. But I thought never mind. I went to the medical centre at my uni to see if they did blood tests. They said they did so I booked one.
Now at home i usualy just go in tell them what needs to be tested and who needs the results at the hospital then they get on with it. But now coz I dnt live in the same county as my GI aparently It gets harder!
So i went in, expecting an appointment with the nurse (waited ages I might add!) And the doctor called me in?? So I thought ok this is strange, i only need to see the nurse. So i told the dr i needed a blood test. And get this right....She didnt know ANYTHING about me! Even though I have registered and now they dont have any of my notes back at the old surgery at home, she didnt know anything about me. So ofc I had to tell her my whole crohn's history!!! Then she did the blood test form and said that I needed to go and see if the nurse was ok to do it today. And I thought well I hope so since I booked an appointment for a blood test in the first place!!!
Anyway the nurse said I would have to wait 15mins so I did and had the blood test and I told her that it needed to be sent to Reading, she said that the best thing to do would be to wait for the results to be in and then I could get them and pass it on. Oh my goodness I thought, it is always a nightmare to try and get the results back! She said they would take a week ( this was last friday now)
So I rang my mum and told her what was happening, and she rang the secretery in Reading to tell her what was going on.
Then yesterday I had a voicemail on my phone from the doctor telling me my results. She said that my CRP was 31 and that there were some worrying results with my white blood count and lymph something. And that I needed to tell the doctors in reading ASAP so they can decide what to do and then to tell her so she can sort it out etc etc.... (sigh! If u are finding it hard reading this imagine what it is like for me living with it!!! :p )
Also It is important for me to state here that when I had a blood test I was in the thick of a very nasty cold. I was aware that this might affect my blood test a bit but I thought atleast then they would change my dosage and I would feel better.
So after this phone call I wasnt worried coz i thought well thts because of the cold.
So I rang my mum and told her the results and told her to tell them that I have a cold. So she rang them and then the secretery rang me back and said that I needed to get the other doctors to fax her the results!
Jusus Christ! Im thinking now! whatever next !!!
So I emailed the doctors at the uni and said this is the number please can you fax them the results! (easy enough!)
Then I got a reply saying they cant do that becuase they do not have my doctors information and that I need to ring this other surgery in bath who will be able to do it! ( What the hell? I GAVE YOU THE NUMBER TO FAX IT TOO!!!!)
Oh I am having enough of this!!
So I went in there today to talk to them about it. The people at reception said that I needed to talk to the doctor or the nurse. So i just banged on the nurses door!! (I'm not making an appointment just for that) And she was annoyed coz clearly they were busy and I had just stormed in. So I explained the situation (again as she didnt remember me from before.) So she said ok and asked me to wait outside.
After waiting she called me in and said that the doctor had rang me with the results and left a voicemail. Yes i said I know that. AND THEY WANT YOU TO FAX IT TO THEM!!!!
So she gave me the number to call for the other surgery who will aparently do it! I rly dnt know why they cant do it but anyway now I have to ring them tomoro and some point and see what they say.
But anyway one more little bit of the story is:
My mum just rang me coz the GI sent me a letter back home to summerise the appointment I had had with him. It basicly said: Holly's CRP was showing to be a little inflammed in july at 12, if this has increased slightly then we might have to do an colonoscopy to see if this is due to crohns or irritable bowl.
...Increased slightly....MY CRP IS 31!! So because of my cold they are guna do another colonoscopy!! aaagh! I just wanted it to be a bit higher so they would increse my meds!
Its quite funny in a way!
Im so sorry guys I have written an essay! I hope it doesnt bore u! anyways thts it rly, i hope i dnt have anymore grief when i ring the other surgery tomoro!]
I guess I'll let u know what happens and what the doctors decide.
Hope you are all ok
Love Holly

You have had quite a run-around Holly. I'm so sorry. Well, maybe going through another colonoscopy will give them a better idea on what meds to put you on; and they may change your meds to better help you. I sure hope this is the case.
Good luck and stay in touch!!
 
Yikes Holly, that's enough to make you flare....I hope you get everything sorted out. Good luck with school too!
 
Flippin Heck Little Miss - why can't they just pick up the phone and speak to each other??? What a load of numpties!

You poor thing. I think this warrants a stern letter of complaint if you ask me - you really don't need this in your your first few months of uni or in your current state of health.

I know it seems a tad "little girl lost", but may be it's time to bring the big guns in - as in mum - would she tear strips of them? Just a thought - I'm 36 but if I am getting the brush off or being messed about by a doc, I just bring my mum in with me - she is scary.... very scary... I could lend her to you if you like?

Good luck - and let us know what happens.

Lishyloo
 
haha!
Thaks guys and yer, it has all been a load of nonsence. But i have just rang the other surgery and they r guna fax over the results, maybe it would be easier if i gort it done there. Coz im not going through this every 2 months when I have my blood tests!
And Lishyloo..my mum isnt that scary, well I dont think she is! Well hopefuly it is all sorted now anyway, I just have to wait for the doctors to call me now with their decision :/
xxxxx
 
Ok, so after aaaalllll that I have already written in this post. My doctors secratery rang me and she said 'just to let u know ive spoken to the doctor and everything is fine' i was like......hang on what?!!?? He doesnt want to change my meds? she said no. And he doesnt want me to have a colonoscopy? she said no.
So basicly i went though all that. I went to them asking for help.
AND THEY DID NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Ok, so I got a very unexpected letter in the post. Saying i needed to make an appointment for a colonoscopy!!
Nooooo!!! nooo nooo nooo I rly rly rly dnt want it! I dont want two in two years! :( Im so scared I dont want it. Last time I wasnt even sedated or anything.
xxx
 
Yuck! I guess there will be a reason for it. However they cannot MAKE you have one! make sure you find out why before going ahead with it! Though maybe annually is normal? I don't know as it's only been 4 months for me.

I hear ya, hon. I have had one time when they did the Sigmoid with no drugs and its wasn't fun. Not as bad when they put you out. My wife and I were looking over my medical records for the last 24 years and we realized that I have had 26 colonoscopies and 18 endoscopies. + that one sigmoid + 21 upper GI's, 11 barium enemas, 7 ct scans and 2 tests where I had to eat a scrambled egg sandwich that was radioactive. Not including all the x-rays.

Lil' sister, I hate all the tests and would rather not have any of them, but I would have probably died a couple of times if not for them. 1 endoscopy saved me when I was being bulheaded and not telling anyone (wife included) how bad I was getting until I was passing out and had lost so much blood that I couldn't hardly sit-up let alone walk. I actually was driving our car with my family in it a half hour after passing out in the bathroom. I had the endo and found out that on top of my CD being flared up and bleeding, I also had a bleeding ulcer.
The other time after I couldn't even drink a glass of water without it coming back up they found out that I had gangrene in my stomach and they had to pump my stomach for 7 days. The GI told my wife that if I had waited to come in the next morning they probably would not have been able to get it opened up again.

So I know how you feel about the test and how depressing it gets to always have to go through them, I'm dragging my feet right now just about deciding what treatment to take because of the side effects.

But, and this is an important but, we need you healthy and here to help with all the new members that haven't been through it all yet. All the young people that come here to find answers need someone thier own age to give them good advice and so they can say "Hey, she's making it with CD so why can't we."

I know you will be strong doing the test even though you don't like it any more than the rest of us and you know we will all be here waiting for the results and sending "HUGS" to ya.
 
I have had four colonoscopies and the first one they sedated me only and it was so painful I INSISTED they put me out for any future ones - Now, I go "nite, nite" and wake up and it is all over....Ask if you can be put righ out...
 
I get confused about all the different types of ostomies! I dont rly know the difference between them.
Also, what is it like being sedated? Coz I have never been sedated before. Do you know whats going on, can you remember it etc?

I always get sedated. I love it. I always have crazy dreams and wake up feeling so wasted, then my folks take me out to whereever I want and I stuff my face lol. At times I feel like I might be aware of what is going on but it is so fuzzy.
 
oh make sure you get sedated - I have asked for extra for my next one, becuase it is pretty uncomfortable... my mum did ask about a general anasthetic but apparently in the UK it takes months to organise...
 
I don't know what I got for my colonoscopy but I was completely out. I woke up really fast but they gave me the meds and I remember hearing this really loud noise inside my head and I covered my ears and tried to explain the noise but my speech was really slurred and ended up falling asleep while talking. :p
 
Holly, its not bad at all. They ussually give me a mild sedative (a shot in the butt) before taking me to the exam room where they than give me another med to put me out. That one goes in to an IV lock. Usually the GI comes in and talks for a bit and while he talks you go nighty-nighty. Next thing you know your waking up back in the room. Most of the time your groggy for a while and some times I come home and sleep a little longer.

It really is a piece of cake.
 
I cannot believe you went through all that! I was sedated twice once for wisdom teeth being pulled and for a colonoscopy. Don't remember anything from either. For me was like falling asleep then woke up groggy then slept for a bit after.
 
Unfortunatly for me they sadated me and I woke up about 5 minutes later. Its a wierd sinsation feeling it go through. I recommend getting sadated, most of the time people just wake up sometime after its done, and feel tired.
 
I'm still feeling rly scared about this. And I still dont know if I will be sedated or not. Thanks for the input tho guys, I rly appriciate it :)
I just wish it wasnt in my xmas holidays. It brings the mood down a bit!
x x x x x
 
Hey Holly - is there no way to call ahead to the clinic where it will be done and confirm that you should be getting sedated (like OUT - not given valium or something to make you relax) and if not - ask to get it approved beforehand? I know for me, a lot of my issues will come up with anxiety - and the better I can be at controlling the anxiety, the better I am in general.
 
Oh holly sedatives are the only way to go. I've had two now and I've been sedated both times, felt no pain, and it was all over when i got up. Its kinda funny though because I dont remember anything from it. I was also sedated for wisdom teeth because I was having all four out at once and I dont remember anything until 3 or 4 hours after it was done. Apparently i was skipping in my wheel chair out of the office. From my colonscopy sedation I told my sister on the way home that they should come out with febreeze underwear to mask the smell of farts so its a very good time for whoever gets to take you home too. All my sedation have been done by an IV needle through the hand or arm where you get blood taken from and since we pretty much all are pros at this now its really not that scary either. Just feels like your really tired and then you close your eyes and thats it all done. Good luck and I'm sure no matter what you do you'll be fine.

Oh and another tip if you can make your appointment first thing in the morning. I have one January 5th :( it was suppose to be on December 23rd but i said heck no not right before christmas. But I have to be at the hospital at 730 in the morning. I find that this way I am already sorta sleepy myself so I will fall asleep easier plus because you can't eat for hours before you sleep right throught the no food time.
 
Mine is Jan 5th as well!!
Unfortunately it is in the afternoon tho.
What are people's thoughts on me bringing the boyfriend along?
I think sometimes he feels a little helpless and I have asked him if he will come with me so that he maybe feels a bit more included. I dont know if he rly wants to or not tho. I mean, its a bit of an awkward thing isnt it? Can you come with me when the doctors look up my bum? :p
I dont think he does mind too much because he was trying to joke around a bit about it to try and cheer me up, but I dont know lol
x x x x x
 
Well for sure it'll sort out whether he's with you for the long haul... Hubby has never been with me in the examination itself, only with me in the hospital. He can help you get changed and hear what the doc says after.
 
IDK Holly - what about all the passing of air afterward?? Would you both be comfy with that? My guy always goes with me - he is there during the scope as well - but we are old married folk LOL!
 
Holly, by all means take him along. Like Beth said, he can help remember what the doc says. Also if they put you out you will need someone to drive you home cause you won't be able to.
Besides, if they put you out he'll be able to make fun of you when you start saying goofy things. Just make sure he doesn't take any colored markers with him or you could wake up with a clown face or something.

Seriously, Holly, everything will be alright and by him going it will really let him feel he is part of your treatment and he is someone you want on your support team. The more he knows of what you go through the more supportive he can be.
 
Yep first time I went in had no girlfriend but I was pretty young so my mom and dad came with me to hospital. If you are being sedated it doesn't matter if he goes in with you because you don't remember anyways. As long as he knows you fart its all good. Planning on having my girlfriend come and do that for mine. Just there for me before and there for me after I''m done. And as with the wisdom teeth can make fun of me and take pictures of me with a stupid hat in the shape of a cake with candles on it. Good luck and I know it will be fine.

p.s. If its in the afternoon just stay up really really late the night before and you can sleep right up until its time to go? :p it might work haha
 
I didnt think about the whole passing of wind thing! Haha he would tease me so much about that. To be honest I dont know if I rly want him there, I just asked him so he would feel included. My mum is taking me anyway because she is driving me there. The reason why I would want him there is because I want him to know what I have to go through, I want him to see it rather than just hear me moan about it! I want it to be as real for him as it is for me, for him to be able to see why I get so effected and so moody and upset and stressed out by this disease.
Anyway my mum just called and I am definately being sedated! So that is one good thing. Now I just have to worry about saying embarresing stuff!
x x x x x x
 
Haha oh its a good laugh and very fun. I think my brain somehow knew what I could say to my girlfriend and what I could say to my mom but I really don't remember. They all loved it and for some reason the stories of my sedations are brought up around every family dinner....But honestly its more than worth it I can't imagine doing it without. I wasn't in pain at all and I vaguely remember through my stoned feeling passing wind very loudly and I giggled like a little girl for a long time. Thats about all I remember for a while though. Good luck and I'll be in your situation (with the time difference I think its almost exactly) here. I don't know if ill be posting that day haha.

A side note has anybody here had a ultrasound for Crohn's? I know its nothing to fear but I'm wondering what they are looking for? (thats the next day Jan 6)
 
I had an ultrasound while I was trying to get diagnosis, I dont rly know what they were looking for either, and it was pretty much inconclusive, they couldnt find anything obviously wrong.
Yer we can come back and compare colonoscopies! My boyfriend was saying that the sedatives are different in america to here, and tht I might not do anything embarresing, or say funny things on the drugs they give you here.
x x x x x
 
Oh haha ok I had no idea sedatives were different here to there, I've never been stoned or even drunk for that matter but if I had to imagine what the literal meaning of "being stoned out of your mind" would be I'd be guessing thats what it is when I take mine haha. I wonder what yours will be like then, mine I just fall asleep and wake up a while later. Very weird feeling but I prefer it over the alternatives. Ultrasound was moved to December 17th now. Not sure why and I didn't bother asking the secretary who called me why I'm going for one because I was doubtful she would know.
 
Good luck Holly and Crazy. Enjoy LALA land and I hope that they find whatevers going on inside. I'm always happy when they find something, at least I know that I'm not totally crazy.
 
Haha well thank you. I know there is something else they are doing as well but its personal and very embarassing and just with that I'm sure those that have had it done know....:p I don't know if I neseccarily enjoy it, don't hate it either just the ones I'm with love it and tease the crap out of me. I wish you luck to Holly and I wish you all the best with it, even though the sedatives are different I'm sure it will make a world of difference.
 
I was terrified of getting one the first time, I thought I was gonna e awake the whole time. I was, but LALA land is nice. The last thing I remember is the dr telling me to turn on my left side and then I had 2 student nurses in there observing, asking me if they could take my pants down. They were very cute, so with the drugs they give, I smiled and said sure. The next thing I remember was waking up in my bed. Mine was done in the hospital so it was easy to just stay out. My sister was the one that talked to the dr afterwards. Its good to have someone there. Good luck to you guys.
 
Thanks, and good luck to you too crazy :)
To be honest I dont think they are going to find anything! Im feeling fairly well at the moment, im just not perfect. I think the reason why there are doing it is to see if I aslo have IBS aswell.
So if they dont find any crohns symptoms like I dont think they will, I reckon they will just say my problems are IBS :(
x x x x x
 
Thank you. I'm going in for dilation too which is the main reason for it. I have a largely affected area near the very end and its so small now I can't pass anything solid :( I'm really nervous about this (even started a thread somewhere) but the actual colonoscopy doesn't bother me.

I wish you luck and I hope you don't have IBS too.
 
So in a weeks time I'll be prepping round about now. I'm completely dredding it. I'm so scared and I can't wait for it to be over. My state of health is a bit odd at the moment, and i'd be interested to know what you all think. I'm going to see my GP on weds to see if they can do anything but if not ill have to wait untill I see someone at my colonoscopy.
So basicly I have no stomach pain and only having bowl movements once or twice a day which is great. But I'm starving all the time. Literally I have been eating non stop all day. I had a massive plate of dinner two hours ago and i already feel starving. I can't understand it, especially because I have put on no weight. Nothing. I'm exactly the same as I was when I saw my GI in october. So this seems rly strange to me. I mean If I have no pain maybe that means I have no inflamation so I can eat better again. But then why havnt I put on weight? If I am eating so much but putting nothing on that would suggest that I'm not absorbing it, But if inflamation was that bad then I would surely feel pain?
The other strange symptom I have is feeling light headed and headachy... Oh and also rly rly tired. If it wasnt for the tiredness I feel all the time I would think I was in remission. Anyway I am interested to know what you think about that! Has anyone else had this hunger thing?
x x x x x
 
That sounds like how I am now. I just got out of a terrible flare and for the last couple days I haven't had any pain, except for a little bit of cramping and urgency. That was only once today though. It seemed like the first day I felt better I just ate and ate and ate. I was hungry even after I was done eating. I'm not gaining any weight either. Athough now it seems like my hunger has subsided, which is good.
I've been really light headed too. Mostly when I get up from sitting or lying down. Most of the time I am like that when I can't eat. You may be right that the nutrients aren't getting absorbed. Can't tell you what it all means but you aren't alone!
It's like the body is trying to replenish all it lost during the flare. Who knows...
 
Hmmm, small number of BM's, but right tired. I know a song about that... I guess your scope will show your colon is fine, but the terminal ileum onwards is inflamed - because I'm pretty similar - you need to up the drugs, me thinks.

Hope the prep and scope goes okay!
 
Good luck with the scope...I was hungry after surgery. But that was from starving for months. (Now I eat like crazy with PMS )???
 
Maybe what Beth says? I'd want them to try and get around your ileum and take a peek if they could. You are probably tired because of the Aza would be my guess (and maybe the B12 thingy?). I am glad you aren't super symptomatic though - rejoice in that!

So true. You'll be ok LMV.
 
Hi
My GI has ordered ultrasounds twice and he was looking for possible abscesses
He said ultrasound is very valuable for demonstrating strictures as well as abscesses.It is supposed tobe painless but I found the pressure hurt a little because of the pain I was already experiencing from the flare.
The ultasound technician goes over the abdomen with a wand and structures show up on a monitor which gets printed out for the GI.
Lots of hugs

Ann can I ask what did they do? I think I'm gonna have to do something like that soon I think.
 
Yer thanks for the kind words everyone :)
I have a question to ask about the prep.
I have the Movi prep, but i think last time I had a colonsocopy I had an enema. Anyway from that I was almost being sick as well as pooing my guts out and when I came out I was so weak and white the nurses were a bit worried. So the next time I needed a prep was for the barium follow through and for that I had picolax at home. Because of the incedent at the colonoscopy, we rang up to check how much I was supposed to have because I was so small and they said to half the recomended dose and that was fine. Now I have been given all this movi prep to take, and I'm a bit worried that it is too much again. I mean, Im 4ft 11 and 6.5 stone. Only about a stone heavier when I last had to prep. And this is the dosage they would also give to a massive man!! Has anyone else had a lesser dose in the past?
x x x x x

If it were me, I'd take whatever worked the last time. Worst case scenario is that they have to abandon the attempt and reschedule.

Last time, I managed the single does of picolax, but couldn't keep any of the other stuff down (the stuff that you have to drink a litre of). I wasn't completely cleared, and was a bit obscured in places, but he was still able to check most of the large bowel and had a clear view of the cecum.

Although you shouldn't take medical advise over the internet ;)
 
Could you call them again and explain your situation? If i recall correctly when i had one years ago i have a 4 litre jug of stuff to drink, and only got about 2 litres down....I was pooping water at that point, so figured it was enough, and they didn't say they had any problems.
 
I have tried ringing them but no answer, and with it being bank holiday tomoro and prepping on monday, there isnt rly time to call them. I guess ill just keep going untill I can see its all out then, thanks :)
x x x x x
 
Ah yes, darn holidays. Maybe try calling the hospital? Someone there might be able to help? Just a thought, hopefully things work out. :)
 
LMV - Don't the instructions say to drink at least half of the container and if you are going and it is completely clear at that point you can stop? It seems like I read this somewhere, but I can't remember. Might have been on here actually?
 
I'm not sure exactly what it says, I'll obviously read it properly sunday night. I spoke to my GP about it and she says not to worry, If i have too much the only thing that is guna happen is that ill be on the loo for longer, and like it has been said above, ill be able to tell when I'm clear and when I can stop anyway.
I'm not too worried about the procedure anymore, I know that its gotta happen and it will be over soon enough anyway.
I'm rly rly hoping they do find inflamation in the ilium and do something about it!
My GP has told me to get tested for B12 and folate in my next blood test, at least she is doing something about it. Unlike the rubbish GI's!!
 
Thanks Mike :)
So today is the day! The wonderful day of prep!
I'm not particularly looking forward to it, obviously! lol
I just want the whole thing to be over now!
Got to have my last lunch in an hour then cant eat again untill tomorow afternoon somtime. I dnt know how im guna do it coz I have to eat pretty much non stop atm!!
I'll just have to drink lots of lucasade, however u spell it!!
x x x x x
 
Ok it turns out its spelled Lucozade; Its an energy drink. Althought it also turned out to be cloudy, and as I can only drink clear liquids that idea went out of the window! Dont know what were guna do with the four bottles of it!
I'm drinking some kind of cordial now, while trying to get an assignement done!
x x x x x
 
Goodluck Miss. Im drinking my stuff right now......ugh is all I can come up with. This is a lot more stuff than I drank last time. Anyways best of luck with yours and the sedation, I'm sure it will be fine for you. I am allowed jello so I'm having that when I finish my drinks as my reward :) hehe.
 
Ok so I had the colonoscopy today. It was nowhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be. I can hardly remember anything, Just when they asked me to turn over and when it was hurting a bit. They didnt see any inflamation in the ilium or colon. So I guess tht is a good thing. They have decided to take me off Pantasa so I will only be on 50mg of azathioprine. I think this is a little strange as It is the main thing I am on. I guess I will just have to see what happens.

Yer It is good news I know it is, It just means I have no reason to blame for this constant tirdness. And I'm worried about what is guna happen when I stop taking the pentasa.

Congrats Miss. Had mine the same day too. Were you happy with the sedation? I don't know what my results were because I had a different doctor do it and have to do a follow up appointment with my doctor. The main reason for it was dilation though and apparently that went really well. i wish you the best of luck with everything and oh did you like the sedation?
 
Hey crazy, glad it went well :)
Yer I did like the sedation! Its much better sedated! All I can remember is them giving it to me then feeling funny in my head, then nothing. Then they asked me to turn over and then I remember having a bit of pain so they gave me more pain meds. The rest of it is pretty blury lol.

Haha good to hear about the sedation. They asked me to roll over and then said ok the sedation drugs are going in now and I remember thinking maybe I'll just put my head down and wait and thats the last thing I remember till I woke up to a room of people farting HAHA! Glad it went well for you though!
