Yea outwest i tripped on the door going into the MRI room it looked like a submarine door made of copper about 2-3 inches thick,WTF are they worried about?Unfortunately I can related. I've been poked, prodded, and scanned in so many ways it ain't even funny. I even got injected with radioactive dye. The syringe was in a fucking lead sheath! I thought I was going to get super powers. No such luck. Hope you are hanging in there.

When i came out i told my wife that one of the side effects of the MRI was a stiffie that you could sharpen knives on but with this cast on its hard to follow through,maybe the kneepads i left on her dresser will give her a hint!
Spend some time in those myself, sure it's a lot less comfortable when you're splinted-up. The techs always laugh because I request no music then usually fall right asleep, motionless for the whole ride. Last time I had full spine it was kind of long so they stopped for a bathroom break and I went to use my pocket vaporizer (toilet and dressing room were conveniently one). Pretty sure they knew what was up and weren't even phased by it, guess I wasnt the first, and it was a hospital that had mmj studies in their pain clinic some time ago.Thanks El C,MRI went off without a hitch except for the fact i was in that casket for 2 hours with only 1 break for a couple minutes,never experienced anything like that before,it felt like i was in a microwave getting cooked with really bad music playing.I medicated prior and try to just meditate through it but what a freaky deal and im not what you would call claustrophobic but im thinking i may be now!
Thanks man. Now that I read my post it might be a bit harsh... that's our life though. I didn't mean to be overly graphic. Its frustrating some times. Take good care.Thanks for the detailed info. I hope your wife continues to heal.

I have found being on the right diet for a while (meat, fruit,vegetables, nuts, rice and potatoes) and keeping up on meds fixes me. Still stuck at 155, too much to do and not enough time and energy. You know how it is.hey dank!
i suffer from crohns as well.ive had close to 30 surgeries in my 9 years since,and prior to being diagnosed.
i wont get into exactly what type of procedures here,but i may pm you to get some advice on my diet.
i have wasting syndrome due to the crohns and went from 230 on steroids(made my beard hair fall out)to 135 off of them.an all time low for me.even before I got sick I stayed around 150.
my big issue is i hate eating,it caused too much pain shortly after my first bite down that I hardly ever finish a meal unless its small and im highly medicated.im talking red lobster,steak houses whatever and i only really can eat about 30% of any given meal.I use to be able to crush pizza and burgers.now im lucky to eat a burger,or a slice.
ive tried to eat nothing but fruit and probiotic yogurt and yogurt drinks and surprisingly i do the best on that diet.but with anything it gets old and eventually you dont want it anymore....
it would make sense to eliminate wheat.i had one of my worst flares recently after eating a few slices of wheat toast with butter and cinnamon/sugar.
my family dr is cool,and helps with pain meds and whatnot but my gi guy is a quack.theyre always calling saying im over due on blood work,or they wont give me my humaria if I dont come in for an office visit for the dr to say the same old things over and over again.
