I had not been to my GI doc for almost 6 years. The reasons I stopped going where many, but mostly it was because the meds weren't working and he wouldn't change them. Over the past 6 years I have had many bad days, but I dealt with it. I had horrible insurance then, so I toughed it out.
I have better insurance now, and was planning to wait until next month to go back, but Sunday night I had a bad flare. They gave me an appointment for Tuesday afternoon. I went and he put me back on Asacol, or as I used to call it, doesnothingatall. And Hyoscyamine, which I got last night and began taking.
But everyday since I went, I am getting worse. I am down almost 5 pounds since last week, I have more blood in my stool, and the cramping is unbearable at times. I am waiting for results on blood tests to come back.
And my job has been really stressful this week. And my husband isn't being very supportive. While on lunch all he talked about was getting a gun. He wants a pistol. Here I am, in pain, and telling him about it, and all he keeps talking about is what kind he wants, and when would be a good time to get it. Grrrrr!
I am thinking of asking my boss if I can take a couple vacation days and just keep my butt home and rest. I haven't been sleeping cause I have been up all night in pain.
Don't know if I should call the doctor now, or wait. I think the lack of sleep is clouding my judgement.
