First off, I was diagnosed with Crohn's in Nov. 2005. It all started in June 2003 when I was diagnosed with Erythema Nodosum, (a painful inflammatory disease that usually affects your legs). Since that time I have had numerous problems that were undiagnosable by my stupid doctor, (I have since found a new one). Since Nov 05' I have had four allergic reactions to medications (the last one landed my in the hospital with acute pancreatitus) and surgery to remove my appenidix after 5 wks on antibiotics due to the inflammation of my intestines. But now I am getting Remicaide infusions and having to give myself a shot once a wk of Methotrexate. Which I was told will require that I have a liver biopsy in about a year.

I have done alot of research online about the disease, so I know pretty much all the technical stuff. But my question is, if the Remicaide puts me into "remission", are there ways of knowing when the Crohn's is returning before the excruciating pains start again?

I am a 14 year old who was wondering how common it is for a person my age to get cancer. My grandfather had skin cancer, but he got it because he was outside a lot. In that side of the family, heart problems are common. On my mother's side, my great uncle died of lung cancer, but he smoked. Everyone on that side smoked, so I can't tell if lung cancer on that side is genetic. I exercise, eat a balanced diet, so what are my chances of getting any type of cancer?

The "growth" is located in the upper part of arm bone, not at the joint and is "sizeable". The doctor said that he wants to re-MRI in about 6 months and it is likely benign. Son is very healthy. Should I get a second opinion?

When I feel a migraine coming on, I take my medication, lay down in bed in the dark and quiet, and put a cold pack on the pain. It helps, but it still takes hours for it to start going away. Does anyone else have migraines, and what do you do to relieve them fast?
