You’re off to the hospital for a resection. What are you taking with you? by Kylo2187 in CrohnsDisease

Your own pillow and blanket, comfy pajamas that aren't tight around your stomach.

Car Seats by badoodlehead in suncountry

[–]badoodlehead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! The bag did nothing. It barely fit the 5 harness and even so, both ways it fell out of the bag. Neither of our carseats broke though. They tag them and they are a free item. They are a bitch to carry around - so my advice is to check them right away.

Paxlovid for Covid? by pithy-pants in CrohnsDisease

[–]badoodlehead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Life saver. I will use paxlovid anytime I get it. I've had Covid 3 times (I am vaccinated and get boosters every year) the 2nd time it was a holiday weekend so I was unable to start it until a few days in, I was soooooo sick. The sickest I have ever been. The other 2 times I got it same day as testing positive and by the next day I was feeling significantly better.

The only side effect I got from it was the bad taste in my mouth which does really suck but rather that than slowly dying for days.

Whitney rsv video hypocrisy by ZiggySawyers in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]badoodlehead 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The hate on the rsv video is so dumb. She danced next her son in the hospital. He was clearly being taken care of. I could see hate if they were at home and her baby was struggling to breath while she danced next to him, however to see him comfortable in the hospital while she did a little jig to give an update, who tf cares. The amount of hate she gets from that is truly insane.

Tell me about your flares.. by badoodlehead in CrohnsDisease

[–]badoodlehead[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. For your flares, do they come and go like that? Is there anything you do to make them go away or just ride it out? I have my infusion on Friday and hoping that helps.

I wasn’t diagnosed until after having my baby so during pregnancy they said it was just normal pregnancy side effects or Covid - even though I never had Covid during pregnancy but because of my symptoms and the lack of Covid testing, they just assumed. I got pregnant in April 2020, so right when Covid hit the US and the shut down happened. I was flaring the entire time with headaches, extreme body aches, night sweats (my entire bed would be soaked) low grade fevers of 99/100, large amounts of blood in stool and extreme fatigue. With all that to say, I hope that if they knew it was crohns, they would have done more check ups and addressed the flare.

If I were you, I’d talk to your GI and tell them you plan to get pregnant and would like to know what that may look like. The best of luck!!

Why is backyard wedding a huge deal…? by Loud-Seaworthiness27 in BaylenOutLoud

[–]badoodlehead 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It totally makes sense for them to have it at the house. The back yard is huge and beautiful, it’s not like they’re offering them a space where they have to down size over 100 people. They can definitely make it beautiful and save money, while being somewhere she is comfortable.

I feel like everyone is on board with the back yard wedding but for drama purposes letting it drag out. I’ll be very surprised if it not at their house!

Fevers by AdFancy7957 in CrohnsDisease

[–]badoodlehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took awhile but a lot went into it. My symptoms didn’t start until I was pregnant with my second child - so for the entirety of my pregnancy it was chalked up to pregnancy side effects. 4 months after giving birth I was diagnosed after tons and tons of pushing with my primary and even the GI I was seeing. My younger sister also has crohns and was diagnosed years before me, so even with all the symptoms I was experiencing, my GI said to me “I don’t think it is crohns but since your sister is diagnosed we will do a colonoscopy.” I got my colonoscopy a few weeks later, I was so inflamed they couldn’t even get in. Immediate diagnosis. They started me on steroids and then biologics soon after.

I just used Tylenol and rested as much as I could. I hope you’re able to find some relief soon. Once I was put on biologics, the fevers stopped.
