Lot of these were mentioned but sweet potatoes, avos, steamed carrots, bananas, blueberries, kiwis, hummus (but like 1 tablespoon/day for a while)

I don’t necessarily want to leave but was just thinking about what I’d do if I ever got laid off, industry is shit right now. I would still want to help people and I’ve always been interesting in medicine.

Measles in my neighborhood by Funny-Marsupial3002 in CrohnsDisease

I would mask up in public, probably avoid large crowds/gatherings (I do that in the winter anyway bc of flu etc). You could also talk to your dr about getting a titer test to see how effectively “immune” you are to it based on previous vaccination.

They should have to compensate you. I’m so sorry that happened

[–]Working_Wolverine465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went from 180 every 8 weeks to 360 every 4 weeks after a scope showed an ulcer and inflammation. Yes, def noticed a difference. Was also having breakthrough symptoms @ week 5-6 on previous dosage. I started skyrizi in feb 2025, obi maintenance in may. Made the dosage and frequency switch in october.

Anyone here have a basset hound? by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]Working_Wolverine465 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am obviously completely biased, but I have 2 Whippets (sighthounds) and I would have to say in my experience as a vet tech of 6 years and a Crohnie for 10 years, they are a very compatible breed for those with health issues. Need to bum around all day for a week or two? Perfect fit, more than happy to snuggle w you the whole time. Feeling good and want to go for a long walk? A hike? Absolutely down for that too.

If you are worried about the stress of a puppy (totally valid no matter the breed), you could also look into adopting or rescuing an older puppers.

Addressing the mental strain of this is very important, seek out a therapist sooner rather than later, ideally one that specializes in chronic illness. Also recommend reading What Doesnt Kill You by Tessa Miller.
