Being selfish

being selfish

Hey everyone. Haven't been around too much this weekend. I've not been feeling well. I have a dr's appt tomorrow afternoon and I'm a bit nervous. I've had a lot of discomfort, mixed with sporadic pain. Not enough to go to ER, but enough to keep me on my pain meds. It's like my body is telling me something is wrong, but the symptoms are different than when I was in the hospital. I've been reading some of the posts, but not responding much because I'm feeling sort of down. It's nice to know you are all here. So, I'm being selfish and just letting everyone know I'm having a rough time. I am so grateful for this forum to share the good, the bad, and the poop. You can't find this kind of support or entertainment anywhere else. Thanks for letting me gripe. :sorry:

:depressed:I'm not sure what to think right now. After being in remission for 5 years, I guess I'm making up for it now. Dr. said it's too early for any more xrays, colonoscopy, or GI series. The last test showed major flare and inflamation and it will take time to heal. Everytime I try to advance my diet, I start bleeding, cramping, etc..... I tend to get C more than D, and I don't lose any weight. I asked if something else could be going on and he said probably not. The remicade should be working, do not lower my prednisone yet, and keep working with my diet. He also said if I'm not happy with his dx, I could get a second opinion if I wanted surgery. I don't want surgery, I just want to feel better. See my GP for all other symptoms and see him in 6 weeks. I've had to take more pain pills which I don't like to do because I'm a recovering alcoholic (15 years clean and sober) and the drugs mess with my mind sometimes. I'm just getting very frustated. The prednisone makes me hungry so I've been eating some soft foods and trying to experiment more, but then I hurt more and have to take more meds. What a viciouse cycle. I think I'll go back to just ensures and yogurts for a day or two. He said as long as I'm getting proper nutrition, I'm ok. I really appreciate everyone being here. I got very depressed in the hospital and chatting with all of you helps me keep my spirits up and reminds me that I can get through this. At least I am blessed with this forum and a supportive family. Sorry I'm rambling, I almost didn't post tonight, but I wanted ya'll to know I'm okay, no hospital, no surgery, but still hurting. I hope all of you are well. Thanks again for the support. It means so very much to me.
