Here is my story. I have had severe RVOT PVC's. So bad I get dizzy, lightheaded, palpations etc. The Beta blockers did not work for me. I tried those before the ablation. I had a normal ablation Nov...

Thanks everyone!!! I was very empty!!! I also was AWAKE, I hated it. They decided to give a different med where I am sleepy and relaxed. It was not fun. I like being knocked out. Plus the nurses were...
Yep the scope was fine... funny thing is I have to drink lots of sips of other drinks just to drink the nasty stuff. I was clean and got a good report. No active chrons... Karen...
Ok now I am really getting hungry.... and I cannot sleep. I am wide awake! Karen...
I am prep'ing tonight ....this post made me smile. It really does suck and the IV is the best part. I am thinking about it as I drink really nasty stuff. I cannot believe we have to drink such...
I love my Humira! I hope it works well for you!...
nawlinscate, you made me so happy! I think I am all clear. I have taken a little over half the first container of movi prep.... now I took dulcolax and I am sipping the Citrate of Magnesia mixed with...
thanks! Doc said to get over the counter dulcolax and Citrate of Magnesia the Citrate of Magnesia is awful tasting as well. However, mostly liquid is coming out. I might be prep'ed enough. Gosh I...

YIKES! It is awful for me. I can't get it all down. It has been 1 and 1/2 hours since I started and not all is in my belly. I called the Doc on call and left a message. I am praying he is nice and...
I just got one in Januray of this year. I had my last period then too. It is great!! I have not seen any Crohns related problems from the mirena. I had a copper IUD for 10 years and opted for the 5...
I heard green was ok....I hope that it is because I have had 4 green jolly ranchers. Yummy. Maybe I will get a bag of lemon candy and lemon sorbet (non dairy)? that might help. I have a cold and...

I rotate from legs to stomach. (right and left sides) So, I may do my right leg tonight then right stomach, then left stomach, then left leg. If I forget which one I am on I try to inject in an area...
thanks everyone! Becky, that does make sense why both said ok to take the Humira. I still may wait a week. I would be taking a dose today then surgery on Fri. One of the reasons for surgery is...
Thanks Nanners! I miss you guys! Hard to get on the net with homework, kids and work :) I did let the surgeon and my GI know. Both say it is ok to keep taking the Humira but I seem to remember people...
sorry I have not been here in a while. I am getting my masters degree and working full time, phew. I am having sinus surgery Friday and I am wondering if people skip a humuira dose for surgery? I...
That is interesting... If I saw that I might give it a try. I also ask my Dr for tests when needed though and my insurance pays so I would only do it if it was inexpensive. Karen...
I don't smoke so no advice there. I just wanted to wish you luck! Maybe you can take up a new hobby to keep your hands busy. Good Luck! Karen...
GOOD LUCK! I start school again next week for my masters in education. I hope to hear you passed soon! Karen...
I added some ginger last night, yummy. I also had apple, orange, carrots, cantaloupe and a stalk of celery in the juice. This morning no nausea! I wonder if the ginger helped? I have a beville model...
thanks for the tips. I will start with a small amount Karen...
I am one of those that is starving when I flare up... thanks to this I have gained a lot of weight. My body keeps feeling hungry maybe because I am emptying it so fast... It is awful and I know how...
I bought some ginger root last night and some other veggies and fruits. I have not tried ginger and wonder if I will like it. (I bet I will) I love carrot with plain and with other fruits and...
EMom , I would try to grow it I hear it is easy. I have some herbs growing I am going to try to add tonight. Mint is one of them. I also have others that might make juice tasty and maybe even have...

Congrats! Nice to see your Disease was not causing extra problems! Karen...
I think I will still take it when I get home. I should be home at 530 and I won't take my next dose till tomorrow morning. Sucks you have insurance problems. Also, check with your state for...
thanks everyone!! I will ask the doc about the meds... I did not think about that. Sitting at the game is not as bad as at work... Today at work sucks! I have done many baths at home and when at home...

This week I went down 10mg but for the next one I am planning on 5mg. It is less of a jump for me and I hope it helps. I did get some symptoms come back today so I am wondering if the 10mg was too...

I agree with Nanners there are a lot of us that have tougher mornings. I am one of them. I get nausea and very tired almost every morning even when I am not flaring. I think it has something to do...
I just began my taper today... I know how you feel. I was on 40mg a day now went to 30 mgs this morning. I am doing my best not to have munchies but it has been really hard. I am overweight already...
