I'm not sure if my eyes ever got puffy. Hopefully you don't have Crohn's but if you do, the medication is helpful. I have it in both my colon and intestines. The medication I take for my colon works great, keeps the inflammation away. I'm trying the Remicade for my intestines right now (it's an IV treatment you get every couple of months). They have pill medication for the Crohn's in the intestines, but unfortunately I have a reaction to all of them. So hopefully the Remicade will work for me. Life is manageable once you know what you have and what you need to do to treat it. And once you give yourself permission to take it easy when you're not feeling well. Good luck with your testing and diagnosis.

Thanks Annmarie. I hope it's not Crohn's either but I'm not in control over the outcome at all.
Thanks for letting me know about the medication. Do you have IBS and Crohn's?
Once I know what I officially have I'll post here letting everyone know.
Thanks again and take care.

I think stiff neck is a virus. I've had it at the same time as others.
--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

S.S.: I've had mono. It's not pretty. I actually could only take a shower every other day cause I had NO energy. I had a headache and fever for 10 days with it. No idea how I got it. The only thing I can think of was that I got it at a restraunt from maybe the glass or fork I ate off of. I had been at one on a Saturday and started feeling crappy within a few days. You can really pick it up anywhere.
I hope you don't have Crohn's or Mono or anything for that matter! It's amazing how when all the tests come back negative you kinda thank god it is only IBS! Good luck at the doctors.
Oh and the puffy eyes...that's more than likely from just not sleeping silly!

Ya, I doubt it's mono as I don't have a fever at all. Thank god for that! Sorry you had such a tough time with it.
The puffy eyes might just be from my insomnia but I slept like crazy on the weekend and still had my bags. Maybe it takes more than 2 good night's of sleep for them to go away?
