Lilith...It's nice to learn from those who walk the mile! Relayed your message and a broad smile ensued. I think he's learned from waiting so long in 2001 that when the body is trying to talk to you...LISTEN! *hugs*
CK...TY for caring!
*hugs*
dicksbro...Yes...that is a really good site. I checked out several while waiting for test results and the diagnosis. I like to know my enemy or the enemy of whoever/whatever is attacking my family. Mr. Lixy's gastroenterologist was a might impressed with my knowledge of Crohn's thus far. Rather than spewing diagnosis and directions and leaving while we pondered if we had any questions or even understood everything, he actually sat and spoke with us in detail on a level that made everything make sense. Some docs seem to think you should know all they know and understand the jargon they throw at you. Getting to know and understand the things that pertained to Mr. Lixy's particular case made it easier for all of us to talk on a level we were all comfortable with. CCFA.org (Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America) was an especially insightful site. When I presented some of the pages I printed out (with highlighted questions) to doc he said it was one of the better sites to get answers if he wasn't available at the moment to answer them. *hugs to you and Mrs. db*

inmydreemz...Yes...I understand all you've taken the time to discuss (TY for that)! We talked it over with doc and we'll talk more soon I am sure. So far he is trying 6MP and Asacol and Prednisone (to be weaned from later) along with Metronidazol (Flagyl) for the infection. Metro gives him the most trouble with stomach cramping so we are hoping it can be discontinued soon. TY again for all the great info! Knowledge is indeed power!
