Hey everyone, new guy here.. well ive been lurking around and reading other peoples stories and whatnot for a while but have never signed up. finally i decided i cant relate to other peoples cases anymore, i need a review on my own! Anyways, the past 2 or 3 weeks have been very rough for me. (I've been dealing with crohns disease just over a year and a half now.) In the past 2 weeks or so my pain has gone off the charts. I hardly get any sleep, walk with a hunch, get night sweats, and frequent neusea with occational vommiting. When this all started, whether its a more violent flare than ive ever dealt with or blockage or w/e... it was late at night and i had a terrible urge to use the restroom. when i sat down on the toilet it was like nothing ive ever experienced before. it felt (in my eyes) what it would be like to have a baby. that feeling where all your muscles tense and you loose your breath and you push and push but nothing is happening. i was seeing stars at this point. then it was like a miracle, the stool passed and it seemed to subside. immediately i took a hotbath(ussually makes me feel better, more relaxed.) and maybe 15 minutes later i suffered the same experiance again. the next day i called my gi and left a message about what i had gone through, they set me up for a new appt a few days later and i thought it be fine. however the next few days were like a nightmare on repeat. every morning when i wake up i get that same feeling and ussually end up passing a lot of gas, followed by that same feeling of relief, lay in bed for maybe another 45 minutes then the same thing but with a large/unformed stool. While i was at the doctor visit i explained everything to him and he said he wanted to get me into another colonoscopy in 2 weeks. but he also said he wouldnt do anything for pain/symptoms in the mean time! right now im currently taking 20mg of prednisone every day, over a week now and havent noticed a change at all. occational bentyl for the past year, never noticed any help from that whatso ever, zofran for neusea, and some old percocet from my primary doc last year... the life im suffering with right now is far from acceptable for me, but im not sure if its any worse than anyone else with crohns.... last time i checked in to the ER they said i had cdiff and helped me with pain immediately, and admitted me for a week. this is worse than that was, and when that occured i wouldve said it was 10/10 for pain! i know im being stuborn about going back to the ER, but i dont want to go if i dont have to... anyways im just rambling now, let me know what you guys think
