question about symptoms

I'm just curious if my symptoms could be related. My digestive system has settled down. No diarrhea lately, still having some pain. Now, my RA seems to be flaring up. Body aches, joint pain, low grade fever. No swollen joints. Also, I seem to stay cold all the time. Does anyone else have problem with cold intolerance? I'm still losing a little weight, only 3 pounds in the last 6 weeks, but I have been eating lots of Christmas treats so I'm still suprised that I have lost anything. I go back to GI on Jan. 4 so I am anxious to see if he writes me off as IBS or if he will continue to think it is Crohns even after normal test results.

I am also cold all the time. Except occasionally at 3am. When the blankets have to go away.

Hey cb323,

You could be anaemic, have you have bloods lately and have you been tested for B12, Folate, Iron Stores and Vit D levels?

I dont think any of my vitamin or iorn levels have been checked lately. I had crp,sr,and amalayse about 6 weeks ago. I will ask to have anemia levels checked at follow up. Thank you!

I'm okay until I flare up. I've spent the past month and a half curled up on the sofa under a thermal blanket, then at night i've got a thermal blanket, duvet and an extra blanket in case. I can't let myself get cold as the cold makes me feel worse.
I had a crohn attack several days ago, and I was hot and cold, but over all, my body was cold. I began to shake uncontrollably (it was scary) and was in a lot of pain
