After my first surgery i was Real good. I just had my 2nd surgrey 6 weeks ago. They had to remove a really small part of scar tissue so it wasent bad but damn i have to go alot!!
so basically you guys are saying, once i have surgery, there will be scar tissue and i will have to have surgery again?????
holy crap, noone told me the bad parts of it. they just told me I would feel better and no more pain. which i do but the bathroom is still my best friend
holy crap no more surgery!!!

Well maybe not. Mu first surgery they didnt want to cut it out becaseu it was a small piece that wasent very bad yet, BUT they knew in the future (6 years later) it would need to come out. So i was prepared.
And yes Equipose helped me out alot.
Just got diagnosed last week with UC but unlike most I get constipated and when I can go, little tiny pellets come out with some blood.
I just started Asacal yesterday. My symtons started in early Dec.
Anyone with UC get constipated? I add extra fiber to my morning coffee and some with water at lunch and dinner.
I may start to eat or drink prunes daily. Any advice I would appreciate.
Thanks!

I have U.C. diagnosed last year in august. Can't get out of this flare either. Not to sound like a punk but I think my docs suck. Anyway They put me on Asacol It didnt work. Mesaline enemas don't seem to work, then he put me on Predisone and it works but has way too many nasty sides and is only A temp. fix. I'm fed up!
I was 167 last summer solid down to 147 of skin bones and some muscle. I keep eating more but I keep losing weight. I'm guessing I'm not consuming my nutrition and food due to this disease? Malasobortion I beleive it's called. I guess this disease is quite common now so we're not alone wish they would find a cure, but wishing is for fools so I'm trying to make due. I will be trying AAS's this yr. First time ever, I'm desperate lots of ppl swear they may help so it's worth a shot. Plus I would like some muscle back that this disease stole from me. A little backround on me... I'm 34yrs old currently 148 lbs. about 8% body fat. Been working out since 20 off and on due to some injuries. I had shoulder surg 2 1/2 yrs ago. recently had a triple-hernia surg 4 months ago. I know I'm cursed...set-back after set-back but I'm too stubborn to quit!! Been back in the gym about almsot 2 months now. getting stronger but can't gain a pound for the life of me I'm actually slowly biut surely losing prescious pounds because of the UC. So I just wanted to say HI to everyone. Seems like a great web-site with lots of nice knowledge-filled people that are willing to help and talk.
Thanks

ThanksNew member who found this site by doing a search on AAS and Crohn's Disease. I'm a 43-year old male who has been having major GI problems for 16 years. I've also got Chronic Pancreatitis from a malformed duct, so a lot of times, it's hard to tell whether my flareup in symptoms is from the Crohn's or the Pancreatitis. When I first got sick I was a solid 168, at 5'7" - at my worst, 10 years ago, I was down to a near-death 108!
I had gotten back up to 164 last fall, but have lost 17 pounds since then - and definitely not in a good way. Was on prednisone last fall and then had a major pancreatitis flareup in November. Ain't been right since. Weak, tired, very little appetite, lost a lot of muscle mass and strength.
I was on transdermal testosterone back around '01 and it was - by far - the best I've felt since getting sick. Once my levels got back up to normal, though, they took me off COLD TURKEY. Despite that being the most effective treatment they've used, they refuse to prescribe AAS because it is the new medical witch hunt. The docs have no problem prescribing prednisone or anti-depressants or immuno-suppressants though!
Good to hear that some have also had success using AAS in regards to their IBS. If the docs won't help, guess I've got to look elsewhere.
