I used diltiazem (I believe that is tsimilar to he cream that dragonfly mentioned) It is actually for heart patients in the pill form. It is supposed to stimulate the flow of blood to the area. It...
Hi Ivy- Thanks for sharing and hope you're doing well! I've had my seton in for just 2 months and I just had a bloody explosion so that makes perfect sense to me.....It seemd to be healing quite well...
You will find a sweet girl,Matthew. The person who is right for you will show up one day. You will experience the happiness you deserve /community/emoticons/smile.gif It took me many years to find...
Add me to the list with sore setons. They stopped hurting for a while and it seems like when they are "filling up" they actually hurt more....
A banana and 5 or 6 kashi crackers or a piece of dry toast works well for me. It stops my tummy from burning and rumbling but does not make me really full....
OK people, stop reading now if you are offended to read a TMI sex post, because here it comes. We were married in Sept. 2005 and until about 8 months ago when we started trying for a baby, we went...
Tools, internet options,clear history. You can even change the default to zero days so nothing is ever saved. If he knows about this site and knows your username, he can always look it up,this is a...
I resolved to change things up with my workouts, so my body doesn't get used to my routine and to cut out sugar. I also vowed to be more open minded about my crohn's issues so here's where I am...
Didn't Keah take the worms?...
Ivy-maybe it will give you some hope to hear this.... I have 2 fistulas and my surgeon was able to put 1 seton through both so I don't have a bunch of rubberbands hanging around down there......It's...
Hello from the land of setons! /community/emoticons/smile.gif Another note about the "cutting seton" that might help people understand how it works and why it is done is something my surgeon...
Yes,thanks for posting this! I have been trying for 8 months with no luck. Strangely enough,I have an appt. with an RE 4/16. I wondered if my CD had something to do with trouble getting pg. (I...
Glad you made it through the surgery ok. Keeping you in my prayers,Nanners. Hoping you do well with the PT. Keep us posted. Ginger /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...
Julie- Rosebud Salve is found at Spehora. Best, Ginger...
The nitro paste was the only thing that helped my fissure-it was 2 inches long and very deep! Do you do lots of sitz baths, Julie? That always helps me,too (in adition to my miracle rosebud...
I've only been on Augmentin after surgery, but not for an extended period of time...They usually give me flagyl or levequin for longer periods. Hope you feel better soon! Let us know if it helps........
Hi Julie- i also have perianal crohns and I used the same cream you did for my fissures. It did work well. For the itching, I use Rosebud Salve from Sephora. It is kind of like petroleum jelly but it...
I went for 12 yrs. without Drs. finding my fistulas. My fistulas were found by a combination of MRI and exam under anesthesia. I believe they use peroxide to show the fistula and to see if it...
Thanks all /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...
Right now it seems like a head cold but I am afraid it might move into my chest. Any advice? Thanks!...
Kaycie- I've never heard of Dr. Hanauer but I just wanted to offer some support and let you know I am in a similar situation. I travel 3 hours to NYC to see specialists at Mt. Sinai. It is kind of...
I think people do make light of overweight people's struggle. My heart breaks for overweight people. Have you ever seen a group of guys moo at a fat girl? When I was 40 lbs. overweight in high school...
I work part time(5 hrs. per day). Everyone knows about my rectal issues and my need to do sitz baths and the pain from sitting, even standing, etc. and it was agreed that I would be part time on a...
Read "The Little book of Letting Go" I don't know the author but you should find it by doing a search on Amazon. It helped me. I think the only way we can truly have a positive mindset is to...
I am so sorry that you are having so much pain! Is this a different Dr. that did the other setons? It's just awful that he didn't give you better info! I discussed both options with my surgeon at one...
I love popcorn with butter and garlic salt. and parmesan cheese,too. Sadly, I have not had popcorn in about 11 years. There used to be a company that made something called "Pop nots" and it was just...
I saw a homeopathic Dr. last year. He said I did not have crohn's and that I was just prone to abscesses. he tried several remedies but nothing worked. It got to be too expensive for me so I stopped...
Fizky-the benefits of a sitz bath are less water used and your whole bottom half doesn't get wet. I take at least 3 a day so it's a convenience issue. /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...
Well, they are very thin plasticc with 2 holes to hang the bag with. The water gets heavy in the bag and it makes the holes stretch out while the bag is hanging. I don't think I've seen an emema...
Thanks all! I'm just so frustrated that the bags get destroyed and the basin is virtually indestructible plastic. I don't want to be the cause of ruining the environment with my sitz bath supply!...
Beth /community/emoticons/smile.gif Inflamed- It's Sparkpeople. Tell them ginger71 referred you. /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...
I was told just to take a prenatal vitamin. I track the foods I eat on a website to make sure I get the right nutrients and calories,carbs,etc. so I make sure I try to eat foods rich in folate,too....
I have had lots of abscesses and fistulas. I was introduced to my 1st seton last year and I am on my 3rd one now. At 1st I was so freaked out that something was left in my body. (My 1st surgeon did...
I am on my 3rd sitz bath in about 6 months! Are they making them even cheaper? They keep breaking on me. Not the hard plastic bin part. (I have about 5 of those!) but the bag keeps ripping so I have...
I kind of just went through this myself. Let me preface this by saying that I am a tough case who has been diagnosed and undiagnosed several times and I am currently seeing a GI and a surgeon in my...
Hi- Nothing gastrointestinally realted offends us. We talk about it all /community/emoticons/smile.gif I have chronic constipation with my crohn's. My disease is in my rectum only-abscesses,fistulas...
I did try it but it did not work well for me. I could never remember the tapping sequence and would have to keep looking. I am not a very patient person though. lol...
Wantrelief-no one's making fun of you /community/emoticons/sad.gif your post sounded like you were making fun of the suggestion. Sorry if we upset you. /community/emoticons/smile.gif benwhistle,...
Gardenlady- Rosebud Salve is sold at Sephora. It is used for minor burns and diaper rash according to the packaging. The tin costs about $6.00 and is very well worth the money....
Vicks is for external use only..... I use Rosebud Salve. It feels good and it also makes my butt smell like roses....
I took Visicol. It is by prescript ion. I did not have a lot of cramping but it did seem to clean me out more. I was still going the next morning and that is unusual for me. Those pills are very...
Hi- i have had a history of perianal crohn's including many rectal abscesses and fistulas(read my signature) so maybe I can answer some of your questions based on my experience. 1. Has anyone ever...
I see a dr. at Mt. Sinai and had been on remicade for 5 months when I 1st saw him. He said to go ahead and try and there would be no problem with safety. Good luck! /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...
I have been trying for 7 months but I think having a seton drain is interferring with my fertility (it's either that or because I'm so old-37 LOL!). So I'm curious, has anyone gotten pregnant with a...
How about a suppository? That usually works for me. I usually eat very light-mostly broths and I bake or microwave apples without skin and put a little cinnamon on them. I eat the sunkist Ones prunes...
