I'm sorry you have been given the diagnosis, but at least now, you can proceed along the path of finding the right treatment and getting back to feeling better. I have lived with the Crohn's...
Had repeat blood work today. AST is back to normal. ALT is back down to 400ish, so down 1000. My GI ran ASM but the results aren't in yet. Also my Ferritin level is fine. At this point he is stumped....
My insurance will not cover it either. I pay out of pocket for it. I don't know your financial situation, so I can't speak to it. I will tell you that I get it from a local compounding pharmacy (I am...
I haven't taken any new medications or in any new amounts, so I don't think its from a toxicity from something I took. I have wondered about AIH too. I will be having my new blood work this morning,...

Well that totally sucks. I hope the pred works and fast. Hope you are feeling better soon....
Oh Randy, I am so sorry. I hope the stretching works. I will be keeping everything I can crossed for you and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Best wishes. ((((HUGS))))...
I am so sorry for what you are going through. You need your family's support, please tell them. They may flip out, but not at you. They only want what is best for you and I am sure they love you and...

Eve, I have sent Sniper an email, not sure if he is getting email, but let him know it is waiting for him and that he and his bride are in my thoughts....
Thank you Gail for making what was obviously a very difficult post. You know you are loved. And to Jon, Wow, just Wow. And still Peter is silent....
