Flare and scare

[markbills85]

Hey guys, used to come on here a bit and forgot my password so i created a a new account. I was diagnosed in like february after I had gotten sick at school over 13 months ago. I am finally back at school and so far ive done really good considering I have class 8-4 everyday and endless work - its a masters program. Anways I stayed up rather late on Saturday and I ate 1 or 2 bad meals, on top of that i had the flu for a week, and sprained my ankle to the point where i was on crutches and couldnt get exercise. Its been a few weeks of bad things and I was able to recover from those by keeping calm - but yesterday and 2day ive just been in the washroom a lot, in a lot of pain and totally noxious especially in the morning - I guess im kinda worried because i have exams coming up 11 exams in 13 days lol - I just need to build up my system this week - and I hate going to on campus doctors because they are useless when it comes to dealing with crohns...i dont see my specialist til after january...any suggestions on what I should do? Its easy to say Ill be fine and take a calm approach but when this disease hits - its easier said then done and considering It wiped me out last year pretty good I wanna make sure I can fight through this flare

Welcome back.....Call your specialist and see if you can get in earlier...Sound really pitiful on the phone if you have to??? I hope you feel better soon.

Hey Mark so sorry you are going through alot. Being in University is stress enough. My daughter is healthy and is sick from flu's and colds just from worrying. What did your specialist say?

Had a scope done about a month ago - Im assuming it came up pretty good -because at the time of the scope i wasnt flaring too bad. I was supposed to set an appointment up with him but hes a few hrs away and I am too busy at school - i got 2 months to go then I go home for Placements. I got approved by trillium to start optimental as i am not tolerating foods well at all - but it isnt doing so well - I too am on like my 9th or 10 cold this year lol.
