A discombulated sort of week...

[Rebecca85]

... And it's still only Tuesday!

Yesterday I bumped into my ex (and wife) who I haven't seen for almost 9 years. In the local supermarket of all places. Though I'm surprised our paths haven't crossed before now, they're friends with one of my neighbours, and she works as a nurse at my hospital.

Last night I couldn't sleep because I was too hot.

This morning I broke my own record by pooping more or less continuously for half an hour (I mean sometimes I sit there with my ipod because I think I'll just need to go again in 5 minutes, but this time it just wouldn't stop!). So I didn't have time for a proper shower, and got caught in traffic because I was late leaving, and I HATE being late.

My butt is so sore I could barely sit because I had mucous and without thinking I used work's cheapo toilet paper to wipe and my butt was already sore from the marathon poop I did.

When I got home this lunchtime I was really tired so decided to lie down before I started the housework (normally I do it the other way). Big mistake because I couldn't sleep and I'm now too lethargic to get up.

I just hope I'm not starting a flare, I mean with being too hot in bed (not like me at all) and the pooping (also not like me unless I ate something I shouldn't, the only food I could see in there was carrots and they're my safest veg) and the tiredness (OK that is like me, but I was feeling better since cutting back my hours at work).

Oh well, screw the housework, I'm going to have a restful day and see if that helps.

uh uh, sounds like me last week Rebecca!
Really hot, then achy like I had flu or summit, then BAM, you know the rest! Ring sting et al!
I feel really good now, I started on 9mg Entocort and the D has stopped, it's solidified!
Your Crohn's is in the terminal ileum like mine, so nip it in the bud, try some Entocort!
feel better soon xxxx

i hope the rest will make you feel much better, and the pooping slows down so your bum can heal!

take heart, it's nearly the middle of the week, only 3 more days to get through....

I just remembered, I did some abdominal exercises on Saturday morning, and sSaturday afternoon i got tummy ache walking the dog. That always happened when I was mildly flaring before. So I might have aggravated something during the exercise. Or it might be from eating junk food!

Baked potato (no skin) for tea tonight I guess! Will give it a couple of days on bland foods and rest, see how I feel. And I would try upping the dose of aza first anyway, since I have put weight on since that dose was prescribed.
