Hi all...

Just more questions from the silly undiagnosed gal...lol.

First off...since all this started...I've been pretty much a strict constipation gal. Now..within the last few weeks or so....my stools have become mushy like...and are very gritty and grainy like. Anyone have this? I know this is TMI but..seems like anything flies here :).

Now a question about my right sided pain. It has always gone straight thru to my back..and I think some others have experienced the same....just wondering if anyone gets pain that extends into their thigh? It isn't that way all the time but I've been experiencing it more and more lately.

Now for the peeved part.....my husband is great and a strong support to me. Today...he really upset me though. Since I've been dealing with all this stuff...the pain, the fatigue, the fevers,etc....I haven't felt like doing too much in the bedroom..(again TMI)...hubby today said to me....."so, I guess we'll just never do anything again....so nice that we are on the once a month plan, it's ridiculous". I asked him....would you feel like doing anything if you were constantly in pain and always felt like you had the flu?? I understand his point of view..but he was so abrupt about it....like I'm not already feeling horrible for feeling horrible. Ok..just had to vent that.

Thanks for listening as always. I hope everyone is well!!
 
EXACTLY the same things I have been experiencing, and I was just diagnosed for sure last month with CD.

The back pain is very interesting, as I have the exact same thing. I explained how it wrapped around my abdomen to my doc and went down my butt/thigh (kind of like the sciatica (sp?) but I don't think it is) and apparently with Crohn's that nerve can inflame and cause a lot of discomfort. Anyway, my doc ordered 4 separate x-rays last week on that nerve to see if it is inflamed/otherwise out of wack and I am awaiting those results.

Anywho, I hope you get some answers soon. Hang in there.

As for your hubby, I'm sure he was a teenager once and will soon rediscover his right hand :D

I'm sorry you aer feeling so bad...Hang in there...and your husband will figure out something I am sure! Sue :)
 
It's rough to be feeling bad and feel like our loved ones are tired of our complaints! No one feels romantic when there is pain and accidents and all the other stuff that we are dealing with. Hopefully your hubber was just having a bad day and comes to his senses soon. In the meantime, send him off to the shower with some slippery soap!

Hang in there! - Amy
