Fantastic, Michele!...
Oh Bacon Girl, it is always good to see you but not when you have upsetting news. I have no advice for you but I am awesome at sending virtual hugs!!! So here I am hugging you right now and whenever...
What??? 64 cups of coffee in one day?? I can't even imagine it!...
No cancer at all!! Wow, congratulations. There are a couple other things going on, but over all it is such good news, I am so pleased for you....
All clear!! That is fantastic news!!...
Good luck!!...
Good reminder, and I for one need it often. Stress does us no favours, but easier said than done to not dwell on it....
Oh no, so sorry to hear you could not get the prep down! Yeah I agree, try the Pico Salax. It is a lot easier to get down. It works well for most people. I split my dose of Mezavant. Two pills with...
I am not familiar with ODT tablets, but my GI always tells me to take Gravol with my prep since it makes me nauseous. The problem for me is that Gravol also makes me sleepy. If I doze off while...
Oh wow, what an incredible ordeal!!! Yes it does sound like you have used up 3 lives by now--- you are one tough dude! Happy to see you still with us....
Oh I love those grabber things! Even when I am free of aches/pains. I have a fear of climbing on ladders or even stepstools, so I use my grabber thing all the time. I bought it during the pandemic...
Absolutely - many here have said one of the best things about remission is being able to fart freely!...
Yeah the straw thing doesn't work for me either. I can swallow faster when I drink directly from the glass. For some reason....
Haha!!...
One of the first things I learned was when flaring I need to reduce the intensity of my workouts. Just a gentle walk or Pilates session was more than enough. Pushing myself to "not be lazy" and...
Wow! That's great for all of us. Quincy has a lot of knowledge of UC and is around here a lot....
What! Oh no, not another issue. Well geez, I guess it's a blessing that you went for that CT and found it. Better than not finding it. And yes, I do believe it can grow that fast in one year. Exactly...
Pico Salax is definitely easier to drink. Sadly doesn't work for me, but then I am an outlier, almost nothing works for me. :( I was interested in something involving pills - are you saying there is...
I was going to say check your iron levels too. You describe exactly how I feel when my iron gets very low....
Oh I never knew about the smoldering continuing for so long! Just awful, no wonder there are so many health problems resulting from being in that area. Mental health just as much as physical, I would...
Oh I can't even imagine what it would have been like to be walking around there so soon after the event....
Great news for the negative blood test result!! Oh that is interesting about the 9/11 Victims compensation fund. Let us know what happens with that....
Well this is anecdotal, but this was indeed the case for my uncle. :(...
I was thinking that too about the baby stones......
Sounds like a good plan to me. Thanks for the updates....
I get that sometimes but it would be at the beginning of a flare, so if you are not flaring then I don't know....
That's great news Michele!...
Wow! Other than having pain for "awhile", it is all such good news!! Who would ever thought they'd be saying "Thank goodness for those kidney stones!" but there we are....
Sounds like you are making great progress. Hopefully the follow up on Tuesday confirms that....
Oh okay I didn't realize that. Then it's a sign of healing, great progress! You are still in pain, but is it lessening at all?...
Are they supposed to fall off....??...
Sorry to hear you are in pain but I am happy to read that the surgery went well! So it was cancer... so good you didn't wait and they got it all out. Hope you are feeling well soon!!...
Hoping all went well!!...
It sounds promising, the surgeon saying once it's out you will be fine. On the other hand, the fact that it is scheduled for July 18, instead of September I guess means he felt you shouldn't wait....
I know, I tried googling it too but didn't come up with anything. Is it another word for nodule? MIchele, I think I would do the same thing, opt to have it removed. I would probably want it done as...
Oh that would be enough to send me for a second opinion as well. You need someone that you can ask questions of. I can't abide these doctors that think you are supposed to just meekly accept whatever...
What is a nogel? I tried googling (right after I read your nurse saying do not google anything, haha), but nothing came up....
Raw broccoli is the number one thing that I have NEVER been able to eat. Intense, agonizing pain....
Thanks, I'll suggest Reddit. I never use Reddit so I don't know much about it, but she can look into it....
Does anyone here have psoriasis? My friend has psoriasis and is interested in finding a group like this one, since I am always mentioning this one when I talk about my UC. There is a psoriasis group...
Love Seinfeld... can you tell? LOL....
CC, I tried Zumba once and was lost the entire time. It looked like it would be fun if I could try a class with all first timers....
Thanks for the update! Glad to hear the procedure went well and it is expected she will be able to go home tomorrow....
Oh Flowers, there are many people who squat on public toilets. They don't want their delicate bums to touch the dirty toilet seat. So they make the toilet seat dirty by standing on it. I have come...
I agree with Straydog. I've completely panicked about lab results only to have my doctor tell me "It's not a big deal." Either the results are not in the range where it indicates something dire (it's...
Oh no! Sending best wishes and vibes for recovery!...
OH no, sounds like an awful experience, but hey you woke up from it! I don't know that kidney stones are related to a poor diet. Haven't I heard that eating things like a lot of spinach can...
Good luck! I'm sure it will go well and once it's over you will wake up feeling glad you had it done....
I think I recall some people mentioning "vivid dreams" while taking LDN....
So far so good!...
