Okay, it won't matter if anyone reads this but I do appreciate having a place to do that people will be able to relate.
I got a sweet adorable wild and fun 8 month old that's breastfeed. And it's fall! Yay! I get to see my belly beast go wild with the crohn's and colitis. Fun.
I feel like absolute crap, sweats and random poops, dizzyness, nausea and my belly hurts. Like all fall flareups but worse. But I breastfeed so I can't resort to taking Purinethol like before, because baby girl and I are not ready to wean. Mostly cause of her weak little intestines that barely tolerate when I eat dairy...Nursing friendly meds will cost more than our rent, until we figure out the insurance and stuff, but generally they ask that you take purinethol for 3 months to prove it's failed. What a conundrum!
In the meantime, dear boyfriend worries himself sick and my 3 year old needs mom. I need a bed, and a hot water bottle.
Hell let's push it that far and say I need a glass of wine, chocolate cheesecake and a warm bath.
I am quite tired of feeling ill, but I am totally apprehensive of how managing my illness now will affect my little one. As in, willing to shove my head in the sand. My dear bf would appreciate you all telling me to call my doc asap and not wait til it gets worse, whereas I would like other moms to tell me it's ok to feel like my child's needs come first.
Darn it, belly beast, can we just banish you like in the Highlander??
Thanks for listening guys, I feel better venting it!
 
I hope that you find a happy medium between taking care of your child's needs and yours at the same time. Support is sent your way.
