valentina
yeah..it is weird isn't it? it seems there are more things to deal with since dx/meds.
then again..i remember "D" everyday-and the pain in abdomen..so..not sure which is worse! ..and the heartburn..that was most unbearable-i am convinced it is related to the crohn's--(gastritis)--luckily this ativan helps..but..i don't think i can take that for too long as it is very addictive (not sure..)
the thing that gets me most is the tiredness-i guess a lot of people here talk about that. i suppose its meds and the cd -both. ..though my meds are still "low-key"-pentasa and entocort and aciphex-..and i know the ativan makes me a little tired..
grrrrrrrrr---i suppose this is all why i am willing to go on remicade if that is the direction my dr goes. i just had the barium tests-and next maybe the pill cam--i know that is risky..but-i may go for it anyway. (maybe i can somehow get a copy of the "video"..)(want to learn how to read radiogrpahs (yeah..right!!!
)
(i think trying to understand all this is what keeps me from getting depressed...as well as just wanting to be sure i get all supplements /etc needed.
oh--shingles...lol! i know all about that one. had it like 5 years or so ago. hardly any of the "zit" things..but--big-time pain. it was along the nerve from my left eye to scalp (near forehead) -i was on the codiene (t-3's) also had a saliva gland infection then too and took favimir (?) (not that there are drugs to combat virus..but..it sometimes helps i guess.
i wonder if i had crohn's then-probably. had "D" then...but i thought the "D" was due to having had a myometomy for fibroids/ovarian cysts a year or 2 before--and the fibroids-then the op-caused major adhesions. ..so-thought the "D" was just cause of all that.
my drs-ofcourse-said..oh..it's also probably IBS. lol--sorry..just-i know so many others got the IBS thing too...i suppose til dx'ed -many symptoms are similar though..
anyway-sorry for the long winded reply here!
the keflex worked
it was cellulitis-all cropped up after shaving under arms (never had that reaction to shaving before..)but..yeah..i suppose w/ entocort-even tho it mostly absorbs in small bowel-it still can lower immune..so..who knows. i still shave--just-more careful.
isn't all this SO much fun!?
hope all is well on your end...
it was good to read some of what you wrote about remicade (rat poison)
i'll probably end up taking it-even w all the mess it may cause later on...and whatever else...anything to feel a bit better-and to eat at least somewhat more normal foods--i hate this being afraid to eat more than anything..
ok..that's it...
sorry soo long
