Thanks, JaSanne. Seems like all health problems somehow come back to the Crohn's or the meds we are on :/ I am very hesitant but, my GI cleared it. The first time they did the root canal (botched) it...
Ohhh, my friends, it's been a long time! I hope this finds you well! Question: Has anyone had to take Clindamycin before? I had read somewhere that it is not good for anyone with IBD as it can cause...
That is great you get that much exercise in. So jealous! Financially, I can't afford a gym or even yoga classes right now :( It stinks. I used to do a core fusion yoga/pilates class and also spin. I...
Thanks, Kazbern. This is fairly new with this new flare. How exciting! UGH! I just want a quick fix but, not sounded too promising :/ I don't want to have to start taking another med but, if I must,...
Mild at least but, what does that mean or could possibly mean?! I've had pain in my si joints for some time now. It's turned from a mild aggravation every once in awhile to a constant throbbing pain....
Oh, that is good! I am just learning about this magnificent bottle :) Ooo, question. Do you do your injections in your leg? I have bruised myself a few times and it's lasted an entire month! What the...
Even on 200mgs of Trazodone a night, which would typically knock me out till the morning, I could not for the life of me sleep on Prednisone. It made me severally thirsty, literally my glass of water...
I honestly, over time, really don't mind talking to people about my Crohn's because I like to educate people about it. I don't feel good everyday and there is nothing I can do to prevent that. And I...
Oh absolutely! I hope this helps some people out. I can't believe I never knew about the larger bottles. I also just switched over to Walmart for my sleep meds because it's $15 for 3 months vs. $45...
So, I was paying about $4.50 a month, plus one dollar for a needle to do my monthly b12 injections at home. Since changing insurance companies at work, my last months b12 cost me $15 for one 1ml...
I am in Massachusetts and yes, Mother Nature is definitely taking her PMS out on us! We had an F4 tornado carve a 30+ mile trench right through our tiny state. Mind you I missed the tornado by 2...
Oddly enough, Grape Gatorade makes my poop green :) I always forget and it kinda scares me at first!...
This place has been my salvation :) You can talk to people that don't have Crohn's but, you know they just don't get it, no matter how supportive they are. At least here we can talk poop and no one...
I am in the same boat. I am sick of people saying they are sorry for me. I am sick of being the sick girl and the sympathy case! I am thankful for the people in my life that will listen and tell me...
Sassy - just curios, besides the heavy menstrual cycles, what are your other symptoms? I am sorry you are down to 10-14 days and that is good?! You poor thing :( I missed my last cycle but this is...
My urinalysis for bacteria came back clean and now they think it's a PID. Basically my symptoms are fever (99.7, my temp is usually 97.something, runs low), low abdominal pain, like in my bladder,...
OMG. So, so far no bacteria found in my urine. They are checking it again tomorrow. Talked to the nurse at my obgyn's office. They said it's suspicious for a PID! What the hell? Just another NEW fun...
Thank you so much, ladies! I am so frustrated and trying to make it through the day. I did call my OBGYN and waiting for a call back. My PCP is useless and if I don't hear from the OBGYN office soon...
[color=#000080> [color=#000080>SO, last week I had strep (again) so I was on a 10 day course of amoxicillin. STUPID ME wasn't even thinking I need to eat yogurt so, I think I have a yeast infection...
Thanks everyone. I also looked at that Keratosis pilaris. It's not as severe as some of the pictures I have seen but, since they have spread to the tops of my feet and and my hands, I am concerned :/...
Been awhile my Crohnies! Hope everyone is doing as well as they can be! After being in remission for almost a year after stopping 6-mp 2 1/2 years in, I flared up in a nasty way in January and landed...
Sure you didn't have a touch of food poisoning? I hadn't seen blood in awhile until I had salmonella poisoning. That was a horrible experience due to immune suppressants :/...
thank you so much kazbern. oddly enough, i am due for my cycle any day now. it's really been rough the past few days especially. i was really shocked when i read that! how do they diagnose if you...
first off, heellllo strangers! it's been awhile! i haven't forgotten about the wonderful people on this forum. in fact, for anyone i know that ends up with a disease or chronic illness, i recommend...
hELLO! glad to hear you are doing well :)...
my sincere condolences. i definitely remember kasper. rest in peave, kevin....
as my friend always said, you don't actually "buy" taco bell. you rent it!...
word to the wise, go see a dr. asap. i had what i thought was shingles, i was put on a med for that. had to go back as things got worse, they said it might be a fungal infection & to treat it with...
wow, yeah it really seems like too much for me. i might go back to percocet if the nausea continues after the course of bactrim. thanks for the input!...
glad you had a wonderful time!...
thanks everyone! it seems morphine is pretty intense, i am not sure i quite need something of that magnitude. my nausea continues but i have a feeling it's related to the high dose of bactrim. we'll...
does anyone take this for their pains? i have never taken it but not quite sure vicodin agrees with me so well. my gi said he prefers to prescribe morphine for pain but i am a bit leery about taking...
i have been on 6mp for 2 years and am currently in remission after several increases. it did take 6-8 months for me to really feeling it's full effect but it's worked wonders. the only thing i am not...
heatmiser - i would suggest a stool culture be done. it could even been another bacterial infection or a bacteria over-growth. i know, not fun but maybe they will find something. when i got sick with...
that is interesting. i hope this isn't something new for me. i can't handle another THING wrong with me :C thanks again....
thanks nanners. my gi asked me that but i have never had an anxiety/panic attack. i took ativan for a brief stint when i was diagnosed because my pcp insisted on it. since my chest still feels heavy...
hi nanners. how many mgs. are you taking per day? right now i am taking 500mgs every 12 hours. i did so well with it last time but i am not sure what dose i was on. i ate some soup and pasta salad...
[color=#000080>k, am i overreacting? today i took my cipro (500mg) and as the day is wearing on my anxiety is through the roof! i feel like i can't take a whole breath in. i feel shaky and dizzy and...
interesting sr. i did not start my new yoga class for other reasons but i will be aware of my body for the next 2 weeks. thanks. and nanners, this morning i had green tea at 8am. i was already...
good to know, good to know :) same thing, i need that one fix of caffeine! i felt a twinge of a headache coming on :/...
thanks nanners. i am dying for a cup of tea! since i took the pill at 9am i will go ahead and allow 1 cup. i did very well on cipro before but i was so deathly ill from the salmonella i didn't worry...
sorry if these have been discussed. no time to search as i am sneaking online at work so shhhhh! the tendon issues. does that mean i should not start a new yoga class tomorrow? which, as you know...
thanks for the info. i really have been meaning to look into some probiotics, never knew where to start!...
you are on a first name with everyone at the pharmacy, the lab and the endoscopy unit!...
i am pretty sure it's the same case. i was deathly ill when i got it in march and since june i have just been fighting bad days. upwards of 10 times in the bathroom, a lot of nausea and pain. maybe i...
[color=#000080>o, i haven't been feeling that great since june-ish? i had an appointment with my gi last week and we decided on doing some stool studies. wouldn't you know i tested POSITIVE for...
lol @deadliest catch. hilarious! i think i would chalk it up as a loss!!...
ah ha, good advice! thanks habs :) i wonder if i dulled the needle because i had to pull the needle out of the rubber top and get rid off a huge air bubble and then stuck it back in. i will...
since i am doing injections once a month i am discarding needles after 1 stick so this was a fresh one. maybe i wasn't squeezing the muscle in my leg hard enough? my leg actually felt a little sore...
