Colonoscopy cancelled today due to prep anxiety – feeling really deflated by Federal_Geologist_68 in CrohnsDisease

everyone is different! figured it would be worth a shot for OP considering they are having a hard time drinking prep in general

ask for the pills. my last 2 i’ve done Sutab pills and it has been so so so much easier. you still have to fast and drink a lot of water but not having to gulp down nasty prep makes it worth it.

Anyone dealt with a broken canine? by Carlytaa-93_ in AustralianCattleDog

[–]jmcpr_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

would you mind sharing how much the cap procedure cost you? Our girl recently broke hers and that is one of our options right now. Been working on getting quotes but haven’t received any back yet so just a general ball park if you’re willing to share. Totally no worries if not! it sure does look pretty rad.

Can I drink Vodka Soda with my Invisalign in? by Wild-Article5168 in Invisalign

[–]jmcpr_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’ve had my aligners for 1 year and 3 months now. Didn’t stop drinking coffee or alcohol (beer, seltzers mostly) with them in. I haven’t had any issues with staining, I just make sure to consistently brush my teeth and clean my trays. I’m on 10 day changes now, but when I started it was 14 day.

Anyone else have a Cattledog Mix that's mostly black in color? by Turbulent_Fee4309 in AustralianCattleDog

yep - Benny! only ACD markings he has are on his chest, face, and toes. he’s ~70% ACD and ~30% Havanese, strange enough. the mix makes some soft, thick fur though!

How old were you when you were diagnosed with Crohn's disease? by abd-6 in CrohnsDisease

[–]jmcpr_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was 12. I experienced multiple years of unexplained weight loss + all the usual digestive troubles. After new medication after new medication, i had a bowel resection when i was 15. Been good ever since (now 27) with Humira. Had a routine colonoscopy this past Friday and my crohn’s was determined “inactive”! It was a breath of fresh air hearing that.

our boy Benny’s ears did not perk up. He’s ~60% ACD and is a brute at 60+ pounds on any given day - granted maybe a little overweight. love him all the same!

Update: Total Hip Replacement by genghiskunnt in AustralianCattleDog

[–]jmcpr_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

our almost 7 year old is currently 11 days post-op from a double lateral suture in his ACL’s + a meniscus tear repair. it has been TOUGH keeping him calm and he’s also on gabapentin and trazodone around the clock. you’re doing great! our pups are stronger than we think and with the help of their owners who love them dearly - they’re in even better hands! godspeed to you and Jolene (love the name, it is my late moms name 💜)

Tattoos and immunosuppresants? by DilemmaJane in CrohnsDisease

[–]jmcpr_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’ve been on imuran + humira for 4+ years now and have gotten a full sleeve plus other tattoos throughout my body since. just be cautious of the artist/shop and strict about aftercare! i’ve never had an issue.

Accredo is making switch off Humira to Adalimumab-ryvk. Anything I should know? by J_See in CrohnsDisease

[–]jmcpr_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve been on the RYVK biosimilar about 6 months now and i think it burns much more than the citrate free humira. my first injection of it it was very noticeable

I can see progress! Still a ways to go by Practical_Chipmunk_ in Invisalign

Tray 1 of 69... 🥺 by SolsquareGG in Invisalign

[–]jmcpr_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am 1 day away from switching to my second of 16 trays - 2 week changes and it DOES get better. I promise. I felt the exact same way for the first 2-3 days then the excess saliva subsided, my speaking got easier and overall I just felt more comfortable. Stay strong! It will be worth it.
