Down at the moment :(

[queenlizard45uk]

Hi all,
Im feeling abit down at the moment.

Stupidly forgot to order my tablets, so havent taken them for 2 days. Luckily managed to get them this morning (pentasa)

Feeling so tired. Literally have no engery. I think everyone just thinks im lazy, but I am worn out, even though I sleep about 8 hours a night!

Im awaiting another blood test in afew weeks to find out if I need B12 injections. Really dont want them. :'(

Also, my mouth is veryyy sore. Theyre not ulcers, more like cuts/burns? I have one on the roof of my mouth and the other on my right cheek. Are these to do with crohns or am I just unlucky?

sorry for rambling!! :boring:

queenlizard,
Sorry to hear that you are having a tough time. I sure know what is is like to have low energy. Check out some of the threads about B12--if your levels are in the low normal range, you still might want to supplement to see if it helps your fatigue levels.

I'm not sure about the mouth sores--if they are really bugging you, your doctor may be able to prescribe an oral rinse that could help.

May things soon improve for you.

Queenlizard,welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear you are feeling down, we all have been there, we have. Those times come, and go. It's good that you are going to get your blood drawn, if you are low in B12, or anything else, the doc can see it and take measures to get you feeling better. I've done the injections for years, and I can tell when I have missed. I used to go to the doc's office to get them, but now I do it myself at home. The needle they give me to use is so small, it never bothers me.
As far as the mouth sores, I have had flares when I get canker sores in my mouth. Could be that. Just seems to go along with Crohn's for most of us.

Thank you both for your responses.
I have managed to show my boyfriend the inside of my mouth and he said its all red and inflammed. His mum has given me some mouth wash, i hope this helps!

Clynn - I see in your signature you have psoriasis, me too. All in my scalp and my boyfriend shouts at me when I scratch. But it gets so itchy

The doctor said I will probably need injections, Im a little scared about that. I dont think I would be able to inject myself, makes me very anxious!!
