How to deal with being sick

[morthobbs]

For the past week i've felt really sick. My mouth is constantly dry, food doesn't taste right, i'm more tired than usual, I get headaches a lot more frequently. I even think I had a fever one day.
I'm just not sure what to do. I don't know if this has something to do with my crohns or if I just caught something, but it's kind of unbearable.
Also I haven't started any injections, i'm only taking prednisone and pentasa.

If it's unbearable I'd recommend getting checked out by a medical professional. Otherwise pay attention to your body, get lots of sleep, eat simple non-fatty foods, try to relax and take some time off of work if you can. If you're drinking lots of juices and/or gatorade to keep hydrated try mixing them 50/50 with water.

Thanks. I was just worried that since I do have crohns, that dealing with being required a different set of procedures. That's how i've been treating it as of now.

pain

hey morthobbs been having the same with a lot of acid in the chest with pain in the chest area when I use the bathroom not much coming out. Got very hungery so last night I ate some salmon with white rice and jello, hoping that might move things along but woke up this morning with seems like more acid chest pain. Drank some Sunny D juice not sure what to do wondering if I move around more might make my bowls work better, but all I feel like doing is sleeping...I am on 6MP dont want to go to the doctor and get on prednisone it really messes with me (just wish I could oo: )

hey cd13. turns out my inflammation was so bad it was raging through my whole body and had to go to the hospital. so you might want to get it checked out so it doesn't progress.
