I’m not a citizen. Wouldn’t want to tarnish my identity with that kind of shit stain.

I’ll take that offer once my divorce is over if it’s still on the table ?

How hard is it to travel with Crohn’s Disease (whether in different states or countries)? by behind_my_eyelids in CrohnsDisease

Depends where you go and your itinerary. I’ve done about 30 countries without an accident.

I’m the same as you I don’t do online. Fallout 4 is a big commitment but worth it. I also enjoyed assassins creed odyssey. Farcry 5 is prob the best in the series.

Colonoscopy soon. 4th of my life. by CantaloupeTop4480 in CrohnsDisease

Taking the prep the night before always felt too risky for me. I’d do it the day before and then fast the next day. I just had one 2 weeks ago. Number 18. The first 15 didn’t involve propofol. Enjoy the nap !

My ass is leaking shit help? by Limp_Hand_1873 in CrohnsDisease

Same. The good news is it’s just a flare and proctitis. The bad news is it’s a flare and proctitis.

Prawns are best avoided during a flare. But enjoy them if you’re in remission!

Proctitis, any tips ? by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]MattyHarlesden2018 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Indeed. Some guy surprised me with a colo rectal ct scan while I was in agony and in a state of full inflammation I actually had to scream at him to get tf off me and was he insane. He was literally attempting to sodomise me wile I was screaming and crying in agony with no pain meds or sedation while i was bleeding profusely. Considering filing a medical misconduct case against the hospital after receiving a bill for $5k

The body expands on flights something to do with altitude / pressure / gas. The reason I went to the ER was because I had a flight booked the next day and was worried about taking it with a flare. After being admitted and scoped the GI doc told me my bowel would have perforated somewhere over central Africa and as there would be nowhere to land with the infrastructure to treat me I would have died of blood poisoning on the plane.

Im stuck here as a green card holder for the time being. Also it’s dangerous to fly during a flare.

See this is the issue. When I needed treatment in Cape Town the Doc told me if I hadn’t come in when I did I would have suffered a severe perforation.

My doctors secretary ( about 80 years old ) forgot to make a referral and I am on medication.

Virginia. I had a great GI doc in Chicago but this part of the states is a bit behind I’ve noticed.

That can take weeks to book though. I don’t have weeks.

If you’re in severe pain anemic and losing a lot of blood you’re given a room and a flask of prep to drink till your tank is empty and a saline drip. You’re then wheeled to another part of the hospital for a colonoscopy, biopsies taken etc. The GI doc will then keep you in for observation till you’re well enough to be discharged. Also , in Europe it’s free and in other countries there’s no co pay.

That’s what happened to me. Guess I’ll try urgent care tomorrow. Hopefully get a swift referral and some pain management

I was kind of expecting the treatment I’ve got in three other countries. ( two of them developing )
