So glad to find this forum.A little about me, I was diagnosed with Chrons in 2002. I was hospitalized as a child with a touch of appendictis...my guess is it was probably Chrons .Initially took Imuran, Entocort, Pred & Asacol. I am currently taking Cimzia & Asacol as well as Krill Oil, Vit. D, Acidoplilus, Psyllium & Biotin. Tried the alternative medicine route but after I had my last scope , my GI said that my alternative treatment was possibly relieving some of my symptoms but my inflammation was worse. His words..You have to heal...so Cimzia seemed to be a good choice. We shall see....positive attitude is half the battle. :thumright:

Welcome gypsey!! Glad you got your story on here and found us. You had alot of meds when you were young. We don't have Cimzia here in Canada but it maybe something I may look into down the road. The other biololgics didnt work for me so, who knows. Tried the naturalpath, worked a bit and then moved and now kinda doing some natural stuff. Everyone is different, we have to try our "tailored" and made to suit us to keep the flares down. Welcome aboard, lots of friendly people here. Enjoy.
Hi Gypsey!! Glad you're here. Have you been in remission since '02? What part of Tn are you from? I'm in BG Ky. Good to have neighbors

Hi Gypsey.
Welcome to the forum. You're right, a positive attitude can help when other things don't. I hope you have luck with your new medicine. I'm also impressed with your alternative supplements. I've found supplements to be helpful. I havn't tried biotin, but I've also been "schooled" to no end about folic acid. So I added that one a while back.
