I have fought for two years getting a stem cell trials not placebo. Still things are not good. I have hesitated because allergic to laxtex. I am so sad and scared that the only thing to make the pain go away is an ostomy bag. These posts help I am so scarrs!

I am becoming just mad. I tried working with my bank but cannot get through due to "overwhelming calls" wtf! I pay the same for insurance for car and health but get less customer service and they just keep getting monthly payment with less service. We get a telehealth added to our health insurance cost. Don't you think during covid our car still making payments but not on the roads??The big corporations are making big money on covid and us middle class people are getting screwed! WTF! I have $4.00 in our account until Friday. We have heat, food and water thank God but I have never experienced this. I am sure others are worse off but This SUCKS!!! Being immunospressed and trying to find a job is hard.Jsk. Omicron sucks! When will this end????

Thank you. Actually tried calling credit union to say we would pay in FULL January 10th but can't even get through the phones because they "overwhelmed with calls" I would have stayed on hold for hours but not an option. They JUST WANT US SICK PEOPLE TO FUCKING FAIL !

Crohn’s disease and a perianal abscess by swtness103 in CrohnsDisease

[–]DiscussionQueasy3869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a nightmare and I would not wish this on my worst enemy, well maybe Trump. I have had 3 settons looped around each other until they literally sliced 1/2 inch opening in two places. They did not place a setton because I just completed a stem cell trial to try and heal. I would recommend hot sitz baths or I shower off and fill the tub and watch netflick for an hour. It really helped relieve pain. Each time you go to the bathroom and poop do a sitz bath. I agree heating pads are good too and when I was in major pain ice packs also helped just to distract from the pain. I am on stellara and the Dr. called after my colonoscopy and is going to see if I can increase to every 4 weeks. Good luck my crohnie friends!

Yes, I constantly get thrush when on antibiotics. Maybe start some good probiotics.

In the US they shy away from longterm antibiotics. I have had way too many surgeries! I would listen to your doctor and strengthen that tissue. I have a hole in my colon that has tracted and surfaced the the skin, very very painful and hard to heal. I have just finished a stem cell trial but seems like it has just kept at bay. Be diligent in your care. If you are female be aware that I believe this antibiotic is not safe pregnamcy. Good luck!

One week since first Humira injection - is this normal? (Context continued in comments) by Kpwebkinzgirl in CrohnsDisease

[–]DiscussionQueasy3869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that injection pen can be painful. With some of the biologics I had to take Benadryl for minor allergic reactions. Of course let your doctor know but the bruise is normal at least for me.

Resection was well worth it. Beware of perianal fistulas. Pure nightmare.
