Glad you got some more sleep last night.Saw the rhumeo yesterday. Told her how ive been, went through the normal checks etc. Told her the pain is only letting me sleep a few hr per night and was given gabepentin. Took my first dose last night, i was already exhausted so i dont know ifnit was exhaustion or meds but i did get 5hrs instead of 2hrs of sleep.
That's awesome...I know what a relief it feels like to get more than a couple hours of sleep. Ive been battling this for ages now myself, only sleeping 1-2hrs at a time.Saw the rhumeo yesterday. Told her how ive been, went through the normal checks etc. Told her the pain is only letting me sleep a few hr per night and was given gabepentin. Took my first dose last night, i was already exhausted so i dont know ifnit was exhaustion or meds but i did get 5hrs instead of 2hrs of sleep.
Thank you ;-)I hope better sleep for both of you.
That's awesome!!!!! Hope it keeps up ;-)Been on gabapentin a 5 days and sleeping alot better getting 6 to 7 hrs.
Thank you so much. Going for TB skin test and chest xray today. My gi dr is being very thorough in light of the relentless fevers I've had. The hip issue is just another thing. LoLAw hun. Hope you get some relief n answers that can be addressed for you. Wishing you luck n best wishes DB
That sounds AMAZING!!! I can't recall the last time I had 10hrs. I slept almost a straight 5 the night before but likely because I was exhausted from 3 nights of virtually no sleep. Last night was 2 hrs then 3 hrs. Sigh don't feel guilty at all....our bodies are fragile, we need to rest when our bodies call for it. XoManaged 10 hours last night not sure if I'm just dog tired or if it's the meds i take amatriptiltne gonna try for another 10 hour's tonight tired of feeling guilty for staying in bed the whole day and night anyway it's my disease and I'll sleep if i want to
My left hip has been the worst but my right was driving me batty this morning...I couldn't get comfortable at all and could feel both legs on the edge of falling asleep as it feels the circulation is poor.Cor blimey !! Its never just one thing for us to deal with is it . Wish you the very best for all things your going thro hun. May they be as through as they need to be to help you feel better. Im having hip trouble myself so i know its no fun. Left hips the worst n madly for a crohnie seems to twinge worst when on the loo . Hugs n support

I feel ya...feel like garbage today :-(Oh hello... When did this turn into a gaming forum . I am going back to the grass roots here. My joints hurt pretty bad today. Last few days have quite good but today no not so much.. Oh poor me poor me poor me another drink :rof:

Awesome!!!!!! About time!Feeling well today. Joints and crohns aee both behaving
amazing how much good there is when we feel "OK".Aw hun, hugs. I am achy as per the norm. OK otherwise thanks.
Six years ago,, I was allowed no solids; only TPN. That was when I started watching Food NetworkFood? What's this "food" you speak of? I'm so used to liquids, I don't even know if I remember how to chew! Haha
No but seriously, I hope it works for me. I'd love to have some days of no pain and an appetite.
Yay food!!!! Nom nom nomFood is what I'm consuming now lol finally feel some of my appetite returning after my guts took the week off
So feel ya. It's my metho hangover today and I feel like trash which is just more trash than my usual trash these days. Not kidding when I say it's a slow shuffle from bedroom to anywhere, like I'm 90.Feeling the joint pain among other pain alot today, some days im more active than others, only cuz i feel like my mind is kept "somewhat" preoccupied. I really am lucky to have the ability to have breaks between work. When i was commuting 3 hrs a day and on my feet for 10hrs a day, at the beggining of my diagnosis, no wonder i felt like a towel that had been wrung out... I have no clue how i did it. I just remember that the alarm clock would come so quick every morning, was like time was sped up. Even still, i have such a hard time sleeping, feels like arthritis that keeps me up, my stomach, anxiety, my brain cant turn off... all great things to aid my crohns in calming down im sure.... this really is a terruble disease, in so many ways, especially cuz people who have no idea, look at u like your crazy when you try to explain all this stuff, "but you look healthy" god i hate talking about my disease to people.
Aw geez it's so hard for non crohnies to understand. My man is pretty awesome, but he works in healthcare like me so gets it to some degree. He researches too. His only thing is he's always trying to find a cure. I get its hard for him...our life has changed so much. I try to still do stuff, cuz I don't want this disease to define me. But there's still limitations right now. Date nights, for instance, don't include dinner and a movie cuz what can I eat? Sometimes I can do sushi...rice is good. Or today as an example...He's taken his boy to the hill for a bonfire and sledding with his buddy and his son. Normally I'd be all over that, but right now it would be terrible. Cold and joint pain is awful..and fevered and no bathroom. It frustrates me beyond anything I can explain. Also, his friend doesn't quite get it because "she looks fine". Crohns feels like a ball and chain...or an anvil I can't go anywhere without. So I helped pack them up and bid them a good time. It's good for them...father/son and guy time, but I feel bad when he's saying "I wish you could come too" :-( I suppose that's better than him thinking "thank God I get a break from her!" lol I feel that way sometimes....like I'm a burden to him. SighWhat i hate more than any of that is my lady thinks I'm crazy
