When I need to go or am going to the bathroom, I feel feverish. I either get chills or very hot, head feels hot...

Also, not all the time, but somewhat often, I'm not sure "what end to put in," so I have my emergency trash barrel next to the toilet. There have been many times where I go AND throw up at once.

Does anyone else experience anything like this?
 
Only in a really bad flare did this used to happen to me. I'd end up doing slow deep childbirth breathing, and strip down to nekkidness.
Twice I did puke right down my naked self into the toilet - it kinda snuck up on me. My sink is right next to the toilet, so usually I could just lean over.
Sorry you're feeling crappy =(
 
You poor thing. My hubby is a paramedic and he says this is hypovolemic shock (may be wrong spelling)... but basically when your bowel decides to evacuate, all the fluids dump and you do get a shock reaction of sweats and light headedness etc.... it really is horrible.

I have also managed to throw up all over the place in spite of the fact that my sink is most conveniently positioned... my guts seem to go for maximum clean up opportunities in hurl velocity and targeting...

Being male, my hubby now never gets a simple does of the shits - it's always hypowhatsit shock... its like a poo version of man flu... he's just trying to keep up with my spectacular bathroom displays...
 
I've always been that way, in that if I am going to puke, I had better be sitting on a toilet with a trash can in front of me, because it comes out both ends. Even when I was little I would sit on the toilet with the trashcan in hand, or else there would be a mess elsewhere.
 
Katie, thats exactly the same as me.
It was only when my crohns got bad tht it was the other way around tho, that when I went to poo it made me feel sick.
I also used to do the deap breathing tht MBH said.
Sorry your feeling bad Marissa, hope u feel better soon
xxx

Yup I get this sometimes too - usually when I have 'urgency' episodes. It's a horrible feeling and I often feel very nauseous at the same time, but luckily I can control that exit route better than the other! :redface:
 
Thanks, everbody :(

@ Jill - thanks, hun. That must've been awful for you. I've noticed that the slow, deep-breathing works well for me as well.

@ Lishy - yeah, it's like completely "abandon ship!" That's horrible for you and your husband... like us, do you pray that you both don't have it at the same time?

@ Katie - it's especially scary when you're not home and it happens... like when driving... do you keep a bucket in your car? I'm starting to wonder if I should.

@ Holly - thanks, I appreciate it :)

@ Wizbit - I always have urgency - ALWAYS. If I need to go to the bathroom and I'm not within 5 seconds of one... well, you know the ending. I don't feel like I can control either route anymore :(
 
Hi

I find this (the both end thing) only happens to me when I have a viral or bug thing thank goodness. I have a really severe phobia of vomitting (I actually find typing the word gets me a bit panick) and so I am hardly ever sick and thank God when I go through a bad flare and dont throw up.

I have on numerous occasions but only when I'm flared up. I also know how you feel about the emergency trash barrel. For me, the pressure from going seems to trigger my gag reflex. One time I had a flare so bad that i couldn't even keep water down for more than a minute (an ER visit soon followed).

Hope things get better for you soon!
 
i have this every now and again. I never seem to vomit. just on the verge. It happened to me last at the AC/DC concert in Moncton last Thursday. spent 20 minutes in a porta potty thinking i was going to die. then it passed and i was able to enjoy the concert. Funny friggin disease.
 
Before I got used to it this would happen and I finally figured out it was my body preparing me for the soon to be destruction of my poor toilet. I'm used to it by now. I actually get hot flashes after eating .. good times indeed.
 
Same thing here! I know how you feel. At work the sink is miles away from the toilet and I often have to sit with the bin in front of me in case i'm sick. Not so bad at home because the sink is right next to me and I can lean.

I've been bad in the past where i've been sat on the loo and the pain is soooo bad and i've gone very light headed, cold sweats and convinced I was going to pass out. I think it was the sheer thought of the embarrassment of bein found on the bathroom floor with my pants round my ankles and a horrendous smell that kept me hanging in there!
 
I also get really warm after bathroom visits sometimes to the point of sweating, there is no straining involved, but I don't have the big D. I get nauseous rarely while bathroom-ing, but will often get really warm after eating also.
 
YES.
this happened to me a lot. the cramps would start and the spasms are beginning and then your mouth is like "HO BOY get er done!!" and starts watering. i swear ive made enough saliva that way to fill up a bottle or something.
i put the trash can in front of me so i can just spit out the spit lol. sometimes, this would lead to me actually vomiting, but usually it was just the extreme pre-throw up preparation of hot flashes and cold sweat and watery mouth, and then it would pass as the cramps passed as well.
EVEN STILL the mucous poos that i still have (as i have an ileo) produce enough intestinal cramping and spasaming that i get this nauseous saliva-ey feeling. not as often, but every now and then.

and yep i notice a correlation the other way too. if i throw up for some other reason, i immediatly have to sit on the toilet. even if nothing comes out, the urge to go is so so strong after vomiting. its always like that, whether im flaring badly or not.

rissa and everyone who experiences this--do you ever actually GET a fever after your worst bm of the day? for a while, like a few years, i would poo 2-4 times in the morning, always my worst, and then about 1 hr later would spike a temp upwards of 101. ALWAYS. if i didnt poo, my temp rarely spiked. does anyone else get that???

Every time?

Not every time but I'd say roughly 40% of the time. I actually physically end up running a fever when I eat so the hot flashes are associated with that.

And do you get that tingling feeling in your jaw or under your tongue and you know for sure that it's coming up?

That's the feeling I hate.
 
Ris I hope the humira kicks in and whoops this problems ass for you! I really do.
I hate when I start salivating a lot, then I know I'm going to puke. It's terrible and I really feel for you hun.

yup *shudder*.
gross.
 
Hugs for Santos.

I've never had vomit symptoms - just dry heaves. But, I have had the sweats and chills during a flare. You're not alone.
 
Thanks, Jerman.

It's great - when I talk with you guys, I never feel alone. In the "real world" though... whole nother Oprah show.
 
Hey Ris, that is awful. Personally the one I hate the most is when the top of your head feels all hot. Sometimes it feels like it could almost catch fire.. Lol. I never knew anyone else got that, I have asked a few people I know and they give me the 'crazy lady' look.
I hope you feel better soon x
 
I now keep extra clothes @ work, a garbage bag folded up nicely in my purse incase I'm out and about and not near the safety of home, and of course my trash can and sink in my bathroom are both strategically positioned to deal with this.. :(
