We're here to share and sympathize. Don't worry about asking questions that have before, as we all asked them at one time or another.

Welcome!

Thank you Polly, Rosie, Joe and Ginny for the nice, understanding and warm welcome...tons of info in this forum, which I really appreciate due to being mis-diagnosed and totally confused for so long while living with collagenous colitis and at times being in severe pain....as I read the topics and posts here I am slowly learning things I didnt know, and gaining info on issues I had never even thought of before. Thanks again for having me.... :flowersmiley:

Memory,

reading other posts is a good way to get familiar with all the MC information here, but also feel free to ask as many questions as you want.

g'day from australia and welcome to our family
:greatwave:

Finding this site can cause mixed emotions, relief that you have found people with the same condition and then some overwhelmness as you read through and absorb all the information and how it relates to you!

Hopefully as you do some reading and get some clarity you feel empowered and be ready to make sure that MC does not take over your life!

have a great week - take care
Gabes

Thanks so much to everyone for being so welcoming, and also willing to answer any questions I have ( no matter how yucky or silly they might be...lol )
Everyone seems to be so understanding, and I already feel right at home...

I have been very confused about my illness, and it is so encouraging to meet ppl generous enough with their time to share with me, and offer me help based on their own experiences and knowledge...I admit I am a bit overwhelmed at this time with my issue...so thank each of you for your warmth and kindness...I now feel there is hope for me yet !! :flyingdoveleft:

Hugs, Memory

from Canada, Memory, and WELCOME to our Potty People Forum.
I know what a reief it is to find people who understand and have been through ( or are going through ) what you are. Lots of reading here, jam packed with helpful info. I have been a member since May and am still finding parts of the site I didn't know existed and still learning lots.
Hope your affiliation with us brings you help and answers.

Welcome Memory,

I'm fairly new here as well. I was just overwhelmed with the information
that was available here that I spent hours and hours of reading and trying
to absorb it all. I love what Polly wrote:

Where poop is concerned, we have heard it all!

Everyone here is so wonderful and Tex is just the best!!!!

You can read my story back a few weeks at "New Here and Overwhelmed"

I did the Enterolab testing and just got my results back last week
when I was on vacation. You can find them posted on the Test Results page.

I've been on Entocort for almost two months and with a strict diet as well, but
I'm still having D up to 8+ a day. Better, but not where I would love to be.

Anyway, glad you found us!

Tanya
