THAT IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING ON MY COMPUTER FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS! BETTER TO GET DISTRACTED THAN TO TAKE A PILL! ooops very sorry - kitten hopped up and i din't notice lol Am lying in bed on my side typing with one finger lol wow - i wonder why he said no to probiotics!!??? no to advil of course! although sometimes if a joint is sooo painful i make certain to eat food 1st, and then take advil. i know what you mean about the body being impervious to immodium too - over the yrs i have learned how aggressive i can be with meds, with minimal side effects. omg - i know how you feel bout the shopping trips. When my daughter and i would go out shopping a few yrs ago - she would have been 5-8, there were times when the poor thing was trapped in the handicapped/family washroom for a record 3 hours. that was after trying to go back and for winter boots for her 4 times, and not getting back in time the last time :S For these reasons i always made her wear her backpack with books, water and snacks. then she would gently explain when the manager came to knock on the door inquiring if i needed her to call someone. Back then it was just she and i (long story) so there was no one to call, and we just had to wait it out, and finally emerge n a walk of stinky shame lol i think it is easier for other ppl to understand illness if they can see it - like a broken leg for instance. chronic illness/pain is so easy to destroy one's quality of life. i think the only way one can truly understand is to (sadly) join the club. and that is no gud at all!
lmao Yes, I did get that sample but my GI recommonded me not to take it and not to take anything without talking to him even advil, etc. I find Immodium doesnt work sometimes and just have to go with the flow but then also I find it gives me severe heartburn so I have the gaviscon in one hand and the immodium in the other. I love this site when i have a flare up and i need to get away form the stress of work or school I just sit on here and search thru the thread and keep my mind off things while I make my butt comfy of the thrown. It just makes me mad when I go to the store and have to run to the bathroom 10 times in my half hr trip. I had one worker ask me if I was alright lol since she saw me going into the bathroom 5 times in 10 minutes lol It just frustrates me when ppl who say they understand but they dont or they think you cant do certain things because of it all.
i was on 2c weeks of IV solumedrol - omg - the round face and massive a$$ that came from that! blech if you don't wanna take predinsone there is a more refined (and $$$) type of steroid. i was on that a few times - less of the neg effects - but no bonus energy to get the house tidied lol. shoot - i can't think of the name sorry... you can google or you GI will know.... i wish i cvould buy stock in immodium!!!! i love those eat anything times!!! woohoo! yay for you - what a great time too! did you get the ibd sample from digestiveadvantage.com? i got it sent to several family members so i could have a good try @ it - the upside 55 cents a day!!!!!! i was dx just after uni - and had a blessed remission when preg, but it bit me in the ass 1 yr later (which apparently is txtbook for preg remissions) i was doing fairly well till the last 2 years - my body just falls apart exponentially ever since. hard to guage whether a new symptom can be attributed to crohns or sumthin else. i really don't want to go to the dr for even more things wrong with me! but it's par for the course i guess - it won't shorten your life expectancy - just throws iut all the things you expected for in your life lol always too much $hit! lmao
lmao I know. I have the poop talk all the time and everyone thinks its always a bad time for the talk. Its completely normal. @ work they all know where Im going at certain times of the night ( i work nights) the lovely sprint about 6x in a night. Im on Pentasa it works on and off ( but I refuse to take prednisone or anything like that). I find while in school I have big flare ups but since I ve been home for winter break I ve been fine and can eat anything ( thats telling you something). I love how ppl at the store stare at u while buying mega bulk tp when on sale. I ve met a load of ppl who have chrons but not many with colitis. I love how ppl stare at you and go what the hell is that and you have to explain everything. Its nice seeing someone else on here that knows the feelings of too much sh!t
it totally sux1 for some reasons ppl don't like to poop talk! Ever want to vent I am game. I'm on Imuran, but have been in bed 4ever it seems lately! love your above pic - i have all the washrooms mapped out for all the places i frequent lol
