That is how I feel after all of mine. I can never drive home because I am so out of it and then need to sleep the rest of the day. I've never had premeds so I know it is the iron making me feel like...
Everyone's normal is totally different. Before my UC diagnosis in 2006, I went poop maybe 2x a week and strained a lot due to how dry and hard the stool was. I had constipation from the time I was...
I started simponi in 2013 and still take it. I usually have to stretch my shots every 5-6 weeks due to chronic neutropenia. My WBC is way too low when I do it every 4 weeks but delaying the shot...
so far, my doctors have done absolutely nothing because my bloodwork and xrays are normal. i just suffer every day and don't know what to do or what other doctor to see....
Things will get back to "normal" eventually once your gut's microbiome is healthy again. Ingest as many probiotic and prebiotic foods as you can and include lots of resistant starches in your diet to...

Still in Clinical Remission!! Woohoo!!!! It went really well today guys. Everyone was so nice and I had the best anesthesiologist. She put the oxygen mask on my head and once she did that, I was...
Hey Andrea!! I'm sorry you are so sick. I hold off on meds when I am throwing up. No point in them going down the toilet. I'd let your stomach and intestines get out the offender and then resume...
Thanks, momto2boys. Hope you are doing well!!! 3timechamp, oh gosh. That is a lot of scopes!! I plan on reading as much as possible tomorrow. I just started the Dexter series so that has been really...
Hey guys. I know I'm not on too much anymore but just wanted some of that healingwell comfort you all seem to give. I go in for my colonoscopy Jan 3 at 9 am and I am so nervous. I do a two day prep...
