Hello! I haven't been on this site in almost two years because, fortunately, after my first bout with Crohn's disease (which was awful) followed by successful treatment with Prednisone, I have been symptom-free and able to go off all maintenance meds. However, I left home three weeks ago to visit family three states away, and about 10 days ago I came down with what I thought was a virus. However, now I'm wondering if it's actually a Crohn's flare-up since I've had it over a week and it's only getting worse. When I had my first and only flare two years ago, diarrhea, weight loss, and fever/fatigue were the main symptoms. This time, I have the constant low-grade fever, chills, light-headedness, severe fatigue, no appetite, and a CONSTANTLY rumbling tummy/intestines. This is the most annoying, because it happens all day and all night. Is it possible that I'm having a flare with zero diarrhea, or that I'm not having a flare but that the scar tissue from my previous flare-up has progressed to the point that food is slow moving through my intestines, and that back-up is causing the fever and lack of appetite and fatigue? I am 1500 miles from home, and due to drive back (by myself) this coming Saturday. Should I try to see a doctor out here, or do you think my GI doctor would prescribe meds by phone even though this might just be a nasty summer bug with flu-like symptoms? Thanks for any advice/experience you can offer!
