My sister also has crohn's.

Do what you gotta do

You just need to make sure you're taking your pain meds before you're in tons of pain.

Pain after surgery is normal. Did they give you anything for pain management? I used a little pillow to put pressure on the incision when I had to cough or laugh and move around. It helped me out for the first couple days. Reduces that "I'm tearing in half" feeling. Obviously don't put enough...

I'm thankful for Netflix

The doctor said the blood work was fine and didn't think I needed steroids. Was just an ER doctor so I doubt he knows tons about it. My GI doctor is 10 hours away and my referral to the one in town hasn't gone through yet. So that makes things a little difficult. The insomnia from these...

Update: Not feeling much better. Been in bed for most the week. Still have little to no appetite, just having jello, soup, almond milk, Gatorade and toast. Have to call the doc on Monday and try to get in to see him.

I'm out now, got morphine, hydromorophone, fluids and zofran for nausea. Sent me home with a script for Pentasa 2 tabs 4xs daily and some T3's for pain. Need to get coverage, pills were 160$ for 1 month.

Iv and morphine .

Blood taken, waiting for fluids and morphine

In emergency waiting for fluids, pain meds and blood work

I will thanks. Going to try to smoke a bowl to help me get to sleep. I can already tell the soup was a bad idea, even though I only had half a cup.

Good luck, hope everything goes well. Probably going to be in the same boat soon.

I really don't want to end up on prednisone, my sister has crohn's and it made her face swell up like crazy. I was on it when I was in the hospital, but I was under 100lbs so I don't know if it's going to have the same effect on me or not. It's just physically and emotionally straining...

Thanks, I have a blender, perhaps I will venture out tomorrow to get some smoothie stuff. I just started making soup and it made my stomach turn. I'm thinking I need TPN again, but that involves being admitted. I tried a feeding tube when i was in the hospital but i pulled it out after 30 mins.

I'm going to try some soup and tea and see how that goes. I have no energy, probably from not eating much. Been in bed since yesterday just watching Netflix and sleeping.

I'm trying to put off going to the hospital. I got some Tylenol with codeine to try to manage the pain. Currently have no appetite, had some coffee earlier and it didn't stay down. Usually smoking a joint helps with pain and lack of appetite, but I don't feel like smoking it cause I'll...

I'm hoping they do something,. most of them up here don't know much about crohn's, which makes it a hassle.

My crohn's has been acting up a lot the past couple weeks. Today before work I was on the toilet for 20 mins, figured I should take an imodium. Puked it up less than 5 mins after taking it. Lots of dry heaving and bile. Quite a bit of pain, though my tolerance is very high. I've had an...
