I wear a coloplast midi with is 9" or a Hollister mini/pedi which is 6" - I'm 5'2" on a good day :)...
Dang it, I was hoping it would have gone away on its own for you. Has your doc talked about switching from the Humira to something else? Honestly I dunno what corrected/put mine on the back burner...
I am sorry to hear about your battle - I have had similar issues with my wound and I was one year from surgery on Dec 15. Doc says when she looks there is no obvious opening but when I exercise or...
I had a new spot open up too - bastard PG! I treated it immediately at home with what I had and contacted my WOCN/GI to make them aware and schedule appointments. By the time I got to see them (2...
I have a couple spots like that too - they are both in the area where pyoderma was/is/used to be whatever LOL! Not painful, not hard to the touch, etc. WOCN has never said anything about them so I...
Also don't forget to check out j-pouch dedicated sites like j-pouch.org and even blogs like blood poop and tears or inflamed and untamed....

I have a nurse come to the house and do the injections for me. I set it out at 230 and we are usually around to the injecting point at 315 or so. I go in the tummy - not much room though b/c I have...
Skyla - yes I have done Remicade, failed. Surprise. My previous GI was very insistent that I continue meds and try more options even after I had failed Remicade and was failing Humira. I didn't feel...
The information you quoted is the same info I have read and have been told from my GI. I went from Humira (failed) to Cimzia (so far so good) and have been told the next step is Tysabri....
Sorry I missed your day - happy ileoversary friend!!!...
Just want to, say I am sorry for the struggle you are both going through, I can understand how frustrating it must be! I agree with the sugar intake - that will make things SPEED through the system....
