Thanks Meredith! I don't want a c sec if I don't have to have one so I'll def be asking questions. It makes me feel better knowing that you've had vaginal deliveries just fine!...
[5]Disregard last two options!!!!!!!! Sorry. [/5] Did you end up having a vaginal birth or a C-Section? I am first time pregnant and 28 weeks along with UC. I've been only taking Remicade and my...
I am so hurt right now.. I was going to make a separate thread, but it fits in here just perfectly. My mom doesn't even believe it's an actual disease... she thinks that I'd be fine if I'd only eat...
Is it possible that just the fact that your poop smells especially bad could point towards an infection?...
I'm only 5 weeks and I am having mild stomach pain with BMs, but they are solid at least and no blood. I'm just really nervous. I also have to tell my GI that I stopped Lialda 3 months ago because I...
I am newly pregnant at about 5 weeks. I am so nervous every time I have mild stomach pain while having a BM. I only really go often if I get nervous or anxious. I am nervous, though, that the pain or...
Actually if I don't eat it's worse....
yeah I don't have any issues in relation to pressure. I've never been on a flight that's 10 hours long... It's really nerve racking. I've been pretty lucky with understanding stewardess's and crew,...
I am FREAKING out... I have a cruise that I'm leaving for on the 19th. I live in Portland, Oregon and we have to fly to LA and then to Miami. All in all.. it's like a total of 10 hours each way!!...
Subdued I'd NEVER have thought about that, but I totally sweat during the night during flares too. I didn't know it was UC related!...
I really think that my IBS is more from emotional state.. like nerves, stress, and high emotions. I can always tell if it's IBS if it's because of those factors... that and I still have formed stools...
Thanks guys. I was on prednisone for two periods of 6 months. Each time I was on 40 most of that length of time. I was miserable and I gained 40 pounds both times. I just can't go through it again. I...
I'm just not ready yet. I want to have a baby first. I guess it's time to call and hopefully enemas will do the trick because I can't and wont do prednisone... and I want a baby :(...
Do any of you ever have symptoms and think.. God maybe if I do this it'll go away and I'll be fine. Or maybe I can stay in remission if I do this...etcetc. OOOr...just give it one more day and see...
If I take Lomotil regularly I'll get constipated and just be sent into a flare that way....
I'm sorry you went through all that lina. I had symptoms and everything and was diagnosed before I got married, but I never really got a bad flare until right after our honeymoon. We were on a cruise...
Thanks for your apology Viktor, I appreciate it. I think high protein would make me miserable lol, but I'm definitely glad it's working for you and that you do get to live like a normal person....
Yeah.. I wouldn't say it's clinical depression, but I definitely do get depressed from what I'm going through. I'm glad to know there are psychiatrists out there that work specifically with medical...
OH and also... I'm really sick of hearing that people live even worse. I don't know why people don't think I know that? Why can't my situation just be bad for ME. It doesn't make it any easier to...
If the Remicade fails I will get surgery done. I would like to have a child before I go that route though....
Viktorcenko.. I hate to be rude, but that didn't help me at all. It was almost like... get over it. If diet helped me... I'd be absolutely freaking fine now wouldn't I. Live like a normal person!?...
I am feeling pretty depressed lately. I just feel like this disease has taken my whole life away. It's changed me in huge ways. I really think that it's overwhelming to think about the ways that it...
Wow Susie.. It's amazing how drastically Prednisone can change your whole body. It's almost devastating sometimes. I still don't recognize my body as mine sometimes since being on it. I'm sorry that...
Well, I wish I felt that good on it haha. Course with the age difference I understand why it helped you more. I am glad you're feeling better and I hope it continues that way!...
What made you decided to get a perm ileo instead of a j-pouch?...
Thanks guys.. Christine, that's what happened to me both times..it was almost immediately after tapering and it always took a long time to be able to taper. I just got so sick of it. I feel like...
I think I'm finally ready to show the world what Prednisone put me through. I was on Prednisone two different periods of 6 months at 40mg almost the entire length of both of them. Both periods of 6...
Haha, I can relate to almost all of these! When you can read the back of a soap bottle like it's the best novel ever. When you have to ask if the place has a bathroom before you decide to go...
I had a sigmoidoscopy done in june and I was terrified. I decided to just give it a go. I told them though that if I didn't like it I wanted to be sedated.. they said as long as I had someone to take...
I'd probably do it before vacation. I had mine rescheduled to before I went to GA...all the way from Tx. I was worried about being in a germy dirty airport, but I ended up fine. It's probably better...
Thanks guys... I thought two appointments was ridiculous. I think she only works for that company, but I'll ask her if she can refer me to somebody. Unfortunately, I have to see one of the drs. in...
Yeah.. i wasn't really happy. This GI never seemed to care anyways.. the only reason I stayed with him was because I loved my infusion center so much... I'm so disappointed. I could never go back to...
So I get a call this morning from my infusion center nurse.. not my dr.s office, but the IC nurse. She asked me if I had received their letter yet. I was like what letter, no. She told me that my GI...
Truth be told.. I had to reschedule my last GI apptment.. and the next one was today... but I don't think I'm going to make this one either the way I'm feeling. A 15 minute drives seems impossible....
So if this does stop working.. I have another option besides surgery?...
I was put on Remicade last august. I've had 5 infusions now. The first couple made me feel FANTASTIC. Now I'm starting to have to go more frequently again... and my stools are getting thinner and I'm...
I lost about 40 pounds in 3 months.....
ah wait this is amoxicillin and i think its got penicillin too or somethin like that.. dunno, but it also says in the instructions that it leaves me open for C-Diff. I am not taking it....
she did mention a Z-Pak.. I'll ask for that on monday.. I can't do this antibiotic.. i was terrified to take it and as soon as i did i was in the bathroom.. im not doing this to myself.. not to...
ugh immediately after i took it i was in the bathroom with diahrea... i cant do this.. im not doing this....
I was just prescribed a penicillin based antibiotic for a sinus infection. She said to eat before I take it because it'll cause Diarrhea and I'm TERRIFIED. I JUST took it for the first time a second...
I remember it was still early enough that we went to Chik Fil A after and i got two chicken biscuits and then we had chilis for lunch and pizza for dinner LOL...
So the last time I went in for a dr.s visit my GI said that he'd help me out on the IBS side of things with Lomotil or Bentyl. I said that would be great, but he never prescribed it to me. So today...
Bennie and Bratcat.. miss you and I really hope you're doing okay.. I hope you're starting to heal. I am sorry you've been through so much....
holy cow monkies bowelsafire... that's a lot of immunosuppressant drugs.. daaang. I'd be terrified.. have you considered surgery?...
Awesome.. I know how that feels! I'm getting my fourth infusion on Nov.3rd! I couldn't get off prednisone and I felt like I was never gonna get better. Remicade has been a lifesaver....
eh welll... i still don't trust it. lols....
Well, I don't trust the swine flu vaccination yet... it hasn't been tested the way it needs to be and they're not 100% on what side effects it causes. I just don't want to get something I'm not sure...
Okay, So I just found out a kid at the preschool I work at has the Swine Flu... I'm on Remicaid and worried... If you are or if you were on Remicaid... would YOU be nervous about working in the small...
