Crapy day

[BLM]

So my body is turing back on and going at it again!! Its been so nice to have a break from this disease, but it seems like its creepin back up on me. Remicade really helped to calm things down, and Ive been doing really good. Ofcourse doing so good, I decided to eat chocolate brownies....and NO GOOD!! My stomach and intestines started up again....today has been tough, lots of trips to the bathroom with lots of blood. Im not sure what it is, but I have some sore on my anus (TMI....sorry) and its driving me nuts, bleeds, burns, itches and just annoying. Though Ive not had a bad time with D, it seems like Im battling constipation now. So tomorrow is my 2nd Remicade and Im anxious. Worried that Im going to be really ill for a few days after as I was after my first dose. So as excited as I am to feel better, Im very skeptical, and Im learning that even though I may feel better, I still have to watch out for my self and the things I eat.

I'm sorry you are having a bad time of it. I know how you feel, I even deal with the constipation at times.

Try to take it all in stride.
Hope the remicade works for the crohn's and does not cause any side effects

The sore on your anus may be an anal fissure, they burn, itch, and bleed. hopefully you can get over the constipation because that will not help if you have a fissure. If you can somewhat increase your fiber intake without causing too much tummy pain that should help too to make the bathroom trips less stressful. Sitz baths will really help with the fissure and I used A&D ointment to protect the area too.

Good luck with the Remicade, it has worked wonders for me.

Doctors tend to tell you that you are allowed to eat anything you want. That's completely wrong! Diet is very important! Hope you learned from this experience and found a way to stay pain-free for the future
