A Sellers: IVIG saved my leg from amputation and myself from an early death! It was only supposed to help with the PG but a happy effect was that it tacked my UC as well. I was able to go back to...
I believe it's an abscess. Mine were so big that they pressed into the vaginal wall (from the rectum) causing all sorts of physical and mental distress. I'd suggest calling your doc, getting on abx...
Thank you all. I did my fair share of binging over the last year. Going from such deprivation to feverish eating in which I enjoyed every morsel was just so nice. I realized I was eating out of self...
Hi All, It's been a while....I continue to do well on Stelara and am more active than I've been in a while. My issue is weight gain. I came out of hospital in May 2017 weighing 105lbs and was...
Thanks all. I spent all Friday vomiting and in a foggy hazy. Decided to skip my dose and was fine on Sat. Took the 10mg last night and woke with nausea again. At least my pupils aren't dilated and I...
Hello all, Just popping in from the crohns forum.... I was on 20mg of fluoxetine for 1.5 years and about 2 -3 months ago I successfully titrated off. Circumstances in my life drastically changed and...
Oh no! Bucko, I completely understand the abscess thing......Pain doesn't begin to cover it. Best to contact your GI and see if you can get on abx. I'm sure you know about sitz baths, tea tree oil...
Thanks 73. Something weird is going on.....all mush, urgency and my butt is burning, burning. Maybe it is an abscess or some type of infection. I took abx for a couple of weeks but with probiotics....
Thanks xy123. I'm aware, DC crohns is doing the mayo study. I'll mention this one too....not sure Stelara is working as well, or I have another infection:( c-scope this week should help with that....
Holy geez. Other than Canada Mark, (hello!), I had no idea there were others so close to my neck of the woods here. I'm going to McMAster in Sept to see about stem cell transplants for fistula...
As most of you know from my tale of horror, fistula repairs are not even attempted here in Canada, unless a remission is firmly established and clinically proven. I've been doing incredibly well...
Thank you DC...please keep me informed! I'm anxious to put a "period" to the end of this fistula nonsense....
Glad you have no abscess. My suggestion is to get on abx ASAP if you think you have one. How did she know there was no abscess forming? Did you have a CT scan? I had multiple with setons and...
Thank you Minnie. I can't be bothered seeing the CRS. Kinda burnt out and I don't want an exam as it's too painful. It kind of eased but today I woke with burning in my lower rectum. It feels like...
Well you're describing me. I've gone through the transition from UC to CD. Did you doc elaborate on the "leaking pus" situation? Are you having discharge? Abscessing is an absolute nightmare and a...
