MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hey Tex, sorry I missed your Birthday! Hope it was as special as you are!

take care, kat

Hi Tex, thanks for all your information. I realize that almost all folks have the CMV that is not active. the specialist told me that it is responsible for my sudden reactive arthritis (which I didn't know was a real thing!). really the only symptom of CMV I seem to have right now is the exhaustion ...

Hi all, I haven't posted for a while. (computer stuff). well I've had one hell of a spring. I got new teeth and the day after every joint in my body hurts and I can barely walk or sit or just about any normal activity we do throughout a day! well, I had mega lab tests, and there were splinter hemora...

Hi Dee, I am sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well on top of all the worry about your son. Our worries are never over, even when things are good! I can relate to you and I will pray for you and yours. Life is so precious and short. There is always hope, and hopefully he will realize that and he...

thanks courtney,

glad I'm not alone in my thinking the pain and swelling may be meds related!

take care and have a good weekend.

love,

Thanks Barbara, I think you are very lucky to have the medical people you describe. good for you! My gp is very good, and she will not be happy to hear about my experience with the gi. she ordered the referral, but thought I would be seeing someone else there. but their policy is to have a gi doctor...

thanks Tex for the info. I have a MyChart with all my info about tests, procedures, appts, history, etc. where they're done, who conducted them, etc. In saying that, there are no notes about what the colonoscoper (sp) may have written about my twisted colon. however, when the nurse called me with th...

thanks Tex, I just called the pharmacy and ordered the 2nd run of entocort from my initial dr. script. If my foot, and under toes continue to cause me pain, I will go to my gp and have it looked at. I was just hoping that the gi would take more of an interest in my strange symptoms. like katy saying...

I hear you sister! Why do these doctors get into the field if they don't want to LISTEN to their patients and absolutely investigate all things relating to what triggers this D and how FOOD may be a factor? They are supposed to actually care about their patients and how to make them not only feel be...

Hi all, I had my "big" GI expert appt today. I was so looking forward to finally being able to talk to someone about my mc and especially my twisted colon. well, what a disappointment. he made me wait for 45 minutes. then came in and rushed me thru a few questions, listened to my breathing...

Hi JJ and thanks for the welcome. I'm a 2-week'er and learning a lot from everyone here. I feel very lucky to have found this site shortly after being diagnosed with mc. I am currently taking 9mg 1x day. finally today I had as Norman a :poopbanana: as I have had for quite some time. this disease is ...

Hi all, a funny friend of mine sent this to me, and I laughed so hard I almost "crapped my pants!" :poopbanana: you gotta keep laughing, ya know? hope you enjoy it too. You must watch it to the end (no pun intended!) copy/paste into your browser if clicking doesn't work: http://www.youtube...

Hi Jill :welcome: I too am a newbie to this board, but just know these folks KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT! :conversation: I am newly diagnosed with MC and my first appt with GI is next friday. I have been on entocort for 3 weeks today, and I'm sorta starting to feel a little better. I have shoppe...

hi Courtney! I'm on a Mac and have no troubles most of the time. my pc friends have gotten viruses and things that I don't normally have to worry about! Yay! :manynanas: I have some things to do today also, so I may not even be able to join the chat, but I'll try. I'll be thinking of you guys tho. l...

Hi Tex,

being a newbie, this really sounds fun to me. I will try to be here.

hey angy, this might be just what the dr. ordered! speaking of party! and I hope courtney can join us. I think we all need some happy talk! thanks Tex for announcing!
