I swear...if it's not one thing, it's the other.
I am so vulnerable right now....
I had elective surgery for lipodystrophy of my upper arms (major confidence killer...last time i wore a tank top in public i was like 10 lol...27 y/o now and I haven't had a bf or really dated...ok sry tmi!). Of course, I was off Humira 3 weeks before the surgery on Feb 7th, and everything was fine...but my Crohn's RLQ pain started seeping in this week. I apparently won't start my Humira back up until 2 weeks post op which would be next week (unless i absolutely need it...VERY close!!) But i don't want to risk infection, as I'm still taking 6MP this whole time. This would be 5 weeks from one shot to the other...
Uuuugh. AND! A week of Keflex. The day after my last dose, I developed loose bowel movements and frequency. I don't usually have that problem (the opposite, really). But maybe it's because I took several pain pills post-op last week? Also took probiotics and yogurt yesterday. I'm scared here too because I had asymptomatic CDiff in the past...I do NOT want to get that now too :/
Sorry for the vent...Humira has been my best friend...and I'm so so SO scared what this RLQ pain means. I haven't felt this pain in several months (other than around the menstrual cycle, which i'm not really due right now). Does inflammation come back that quickly?! How long until I'll feel better?
I had one sweet potato the whole day today. I don't want to eat, maybe just Ensure...
Everytime I get the Crohns pain/RLQ-my world stops, i instantly get depressed and don't want to do anything. It's like...the more I think about it, i feel like i'm doing something by focusing on it. I haven't had to come here for support in at least 8 months...
Sorry for the length.
