Help with strong cramps and pain?

[dj_tano]

Hi everyone,

Just came back from a week long stay at the hospital due to a flare up, and am now taking Prednisolone and Azathioprine, which should hopefully put me into remission by the end of the week.

In the meantime however I am dealing with extremely strong belly cramps, especially at night, and they are making my recovery very difficult. The cramps can sometimes last for hours and are insanely painful, I find myself sweating, feeling like throwing up and getting dizzy.

Does anybody have any experience with these kind of cramps? What can I do to prevent them or to alleviate the pain?

Thanks

A hot water bottle on the stomach or lower back relieves pain and helps me sleep when it's keeping me up. Also drinking some ginger in hot water with lemon and honey soothes my stomach a bit.
