New Pain again and can't sleep!

[ravyn142003]

I've had a migraine from heck for 2 days straight now, this isn't the first time this has happened but first time I'm talking about it. I have no appetite, just coffee and cigs, UH I know I s houlnd't have either one! But, do you any of you get migraines with having crohns colitis? I have been getting fevers off and on like they just come and go. Everytime I go outside these walls I have a fever when I get back and I'm pooped.

I frickin am so tired of not feeling good and I know I'm not alone in that feeling! But I don't have anybody at all to lean on or share my deepest feelings with at my house or anywhere my family lives. It's like they just don't even want to hear about it. Either that or they are just sick of me whining all the time. Who knows.

This past weekend was full of stress and anger. I was full of it. I'm so sick of hearing how my husband of 3 years misses his x-wife of 30 yrs.. Yanno! Man, I just wanted to go off on him but I'm better than that. I think anyway. My anger was thru the roof and I sucked it up cause I was like really hot and my blood pressure was nuts. So I had to calm myself. But he gets so wasted every weekend and he was really wasted, but he was talking to his son on the phone when he said that. Like I'm not going to hear that or soemthing. He's got me m essed up if he thinks that I'm not aware of his crap. Anyhow, another day in the life of chrissy!

Thanks:ymad:

Hi Chrissy. I know it's hard, but you have to try to control the stress in your life and stop smoking. These both will aggravate Crohn's as well as the migraines.

But since you mentioned you are having fevers, I strongly recommend you check with your doctors, as they may be a sign of something very wrong going on.

Good Luck, and rememebr that nobody's more important than yourself....

Another thing that I learned was that when you have stress, you can't internalize it and not tell anyone because, as weird as it sounds, internalizing keeps the bad feelings in your gut, which with Crohn's is bad.

Hi ravyn... Before getting ill, I'd never experienced a migraine. Now I get them on a regular basis. I used to blame my meds, but since starting on pred I stopped having them until I tapered my pred down to 15 mg.. So, I figure they must be from the CD/UC, as my other meds haven't changed any. Dunno if that helps you
out at all... I smoke too, and I'd hate to be around me if I weren't smoking. I use it to cope with the pain and the stress. Esp when I feel like talking about my CD and no one seems interested in hearing it.. (or at least that's the way I feel, it could be that those around me are uncomfortable with me talking about it.. like my talking about it puts them on the spot.. like, how are you going to make me feel better, or if you really cared about me you'd find someway to make this all go away, or stuff like that.. Maybe if I made it clear that I know they can't make my pain go away, or that there are times when they feel the pressure of my disease and they want to rant & rave just as much as me, but can't because they don't have it too, or maybe just because they need a break from being around & close to someone they care about who has a crhonic illness that doesn't have a cure...

I dunno.. People are people.. Most of the people I've met have been good folks.
I think even good folks have their bad days, esp if they have to cope with serious health issues in the family. Like, wouldn't life with illness be simpler if we could all say stuff like.. "Today, I'm gonna have a good day. If anyone who isn't interested in having a good day with me is in the vicinity then just stay out of my way. Nothing & no one is going to spoil my good day today, because they're rare"
OR "Today I'm having a bad day.. Anyone else having a bad day today is welcome to share mine too, as long as they don't try to one-up my bad day AND they are immune or deaf to my ranting/raving about what a bad day I'm having. Everyone else not having a bad day is invited to pass on joining mine as long as they understand and accept that the bad day warning has been issued and will remain in effect until the all clear is sounded. This is not a test of the bad day warning system. Any failing to heed the bad day warning do so at their own risk"

wouldn't life be sweeter if everyone could just adopt and follow those simple rules
