Flaring, from another perspective

[Crohnadian]

I guess this can be considered a vent session but also a laugh. I mean, as much as it sucks, I almost can't help once in a while catching myself laughing at the recurrence of CD flares, seeing myself literally morph from a relatively healthy human being to a twiggy nearly useless skeleton lol. Flares are not fun, but we have to be able to laugh at ourselves sometimes, or at least view ourselves from a third person point of view.. I think.
I'm back on pred one year post op. Had a good little run, but it didn't last his time I guess. My body aches from it, my vision blurs, hot flashes, moody and so on. Wish I would gain some weight too. I could practically be running a business if I could sell all the weight I've lost lol.l Anyways, just wanted to communicate that thought with my friEnds here. Good health to all

love the pic there, i might be able to make that roll last a whole week! sorry you're flaring, i'm in weight loss mode too at the moment and with other symptoms you mention,
all i can do is send my best wishes and hope the flare subsides soon.

Hey there! I'm flaring/back on pred, too... boy I hate that med! I think it drains me of any sense of humour regarding my crohn's!!! Glad you can laugh about it a bit, though!

(on a side note: does pred effect your sense of taste? lately everything I eat just tastes blah...)
