About Me
My name is Amy, and I am 44 years old, and I have Crohn's Disease. I am happily married with three stepsons, and I have six beautiful grandchildren. I am a Purchasing Manager for the company I work for, and I really love my job. I was in the hospital three times in 2005 for five days at a time, and I was finally diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. Before 2005 thinking back, I was having little flair ups off and on and didn't realize what was going on with my body. I want to be the one in control...not the Crohn's!
Interests
Books, Movies, spending time with friends and family.

Hi honey I'm not too good at the moment. I have a cold too, which I have to be careful it doesn't settle on my chest as I have asthma. My tum not great at the moment. My bladder is not good either. I have a busy week or so ahead. I am in hospital on Thurdsay for my infliximab, then at my new consultant urologist about my bladder on Friday. Then the following Tue am at my G.I. clinic. It's never ending and it does get me down at times, I just have to try and remain strong.Hang on in there and have a great week.

Close Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis
I have chronic Crohn's Disease. I was diagnosed in 2005. I am currently on Humira Shots once a week, taking Prednisone, Hyomax, and I am on Cymbalta for depression/anxiety. I want to be in remission!!!
Treatments
- Asacol Not Working
- This actually made my flairs worse!!!
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- I am right now on a low fiber diet, and it has helped me since I have been out of the hospital on August 29th.
- Azulfidine Not Working
- I had an allergic reaction to this in 2005 and it gave me a very bad case of pancreatitis. I was in the hospital 6 days with high liver levels.
- Colazal Not Working
- This was the first medication I was tried on in 2005, and it did NOTHING for me and was very expensive.
- Flagyl Working / Worked
- when I am on this, yes, it works. Normally they put me on this when I end up in the hospital with flairs.
- Prednisone Working / Worked
- I am on this right now again. When my GI has me on this, it does work when I have flairs.
- Remicade Not Working
- I was on this for 1 year. I ended up getting a skin condition, and the treatments never did really help as well as what the HUMIRA did.
Close Organ Transplants
Actually, My husband is the one who had the transplant. He isn't very computer oriented, so I thought I would join for him. He had Polycystic Kidney Disease, and he had a Kidney Transplant on December 20th, 2006. Our niece, Amanda, donated her kidney to him...our Angel. He is doing pretty good, and he actually went back to work two months after his transplant.
Treatments
- Cellcept Working / Worked
- Kidney Transplant Working / Worked
- My husband had a Kidney transplant on Dec. 20th, 2006 at the Clarian Transplant Center in Indianapolis, IN. He was in the hospital for 5 days, and they sent him home, so he wouldn't catch anything. He developed type 2 diabetes that following March due to the anti-rejection drugs. Other than that, he has only been in the hospital 1 time in almost two years due to an infection.
- Prograf Working / Worked
Open Diabetes Type 2
My husband has type 2 diabetes as a side effect of the anti-rejections he takes for his kidney transplant from Dec/2006.
Treatments
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- Humalog Working / Worked
- Lantus Working / Worked
