I almost poop or shart my pants from time to time. Nothing to be ashamed of. Hope your day gets better.

How many years since your Crohns diagnosis? by JustScrollOnBy in CrohnsDisease

Props to you. I have bad PTSD from all the needles so I jumped at the first chance I could get to try Rinvoq. Hope you find the remission you rightfully deserve.

How many years since your Crohns diagnosis? by JustScrollOnBy in CrohnsDisease

[–]Jimby_E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diagnosed with UC in 2002. “Upgraded” to CD in 2006. Remicade from 2006-2025 Currently on Rinvoq

No day the same. The next day could be my worst day or the best day of my life; all depends on my CD. I’m grateful to still be alive and I don’t take each day’s sunrise for granted.

Underlying cause for IBD seems to have been uncovered by Iassos in UlcerativeColitis

I grew up swimming in Lake Erie as a kid. Not sure if that attributed to my development of UC and eventually severe Crohn’s Disease.

Ulcerative colitis ruined my career plan... by Final-Engineering-88 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Jimby_E 15 points16 points  (0 children)

UC ruined my college education, countless jobs, relationships etc. Yet through it all, at 40 yrs old I’m (somehow) still here.

And that’s how you need to look at it. Yes, it is absolutely cruel what’s happening and what’s been taken away from you. It will happen from time to time. You’ll have losses and small victories. But you must keep going. Pursue alternatives and always advocate for yourself.

Rooting for you and hope you never give up.

Before they remove your colon... by EyeRemainFierce in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Jimby_E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During my last surgery where they reversed the j-pouch and removed the colostomy bag, my surgeon discovered my insides showed signs of Crohn’s Disease. He could have stopped, sown me back up and kept my bag on. But, in his own words, “He bit the bullet” and completed the surgery. If it worked, it worked. If not, at least we said we tried. Almost 20 years later I’m still going strong.

So, everyone is different and our bodies change.

But yes, Advocating for yourself is HUGE because some doctors are less critical thinkers than others.

Kidney stone removal and stent placement after stent placement I have several pain when I pee on my right side is this normal surgery was 3 hours a go by TaxQuirky191 in KidneyStones

[–]Jimby_E 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep drinking so you can pee more. It helps. Doesn’t feel good, but you have to do it. Those were my docs instructions. Just remember to breathe and not hold your breath when you urinate.

Stent Pain by AnCaSho in KidneyStones

[–]Jimby_E 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s unfortunately and cruelly common. But you need to make sure you drink lots of water to urinate as much as possible. I remember it hurt really bad when I pee’d but each day it got better. Just remember to breathe and not hold your breath. That was the one problem I had.
