Really!?!? Blood ughhh

[lookame]

Well for the past couple of days I've been feeling poor. It sucks and after being told about a month before by my doctor that I was in remission...well obviously not. It started on Friday morning with frequent diarreah, but I ate a couple of bites of salad the night before so I figured it was the salad comming back with avengence even though a couple of bites don't typically affect me that bad. At any rate it calmed down enough to take my son to the fair. The fair was awesome but really hot and my sons(brand new sandals) were rubbing his feet so bad they actually scabbed his poor little feet so we left after a couple of hours. I also pretty much starved myself that day except eating a couple of chicken nuggets and some ribbon fries. Then after we got home the diarreah stated again. Sat my crohns started getting worse. I felt like I was in the bathroom all day and the worse part was my stomache hurt so bad I started crying...and at that point the blood started. I was even up during the night to empty my bowels. Today I'm frustraited. I went to the bathroom with diarreah and blood and my fiancee has been at my throat about cleaning and such and when I tried to return my sons barley worn sandals to the store(Dick's Sporting Goods is THE WORST PLACE EVER! I worked there for 2 years and was treated like crap...and they treat me like crap trying to return my sons sandals OH MY GOD!) the manager talked to me like I knew nothing and acted like I was a 12 year old. I'm sorry I sold your footware for 2 freaking years don;t sit there and tell me that I don;t know anything and to top it off I was wearing a pair of sandals by the same company on my feet right in front of him. AND I was planning on purchasing a pair of sandals which cost 4 times the amount I spent on those...they wouldn;t even let me exchange them for the proper size...ugh I'm so pissed off.

Seriously not only am I supposed to be in remission but my fiancee has pretty much yelling at me telling me I need to carry my weight around the apartment (ok must be nice to go to sleep and not have to wake up to empty your bowels...must be nice to be completly f-ing healthy) and then the manager at a completly worthless store talk down to me...it's all boiling up and I know what will happen when I call my GI tomorrow. The receptionist will tell me oh just keep your app 4 months away you'll be fine. Ugh

Anyway thanks for listening to my rant

Hi there,
i have had crohn's for 21 years now and recently it just flared up and i am on preds for a while and like you my wife got pissed off a me for not going camping with them this week but i can't because i feel like crap. it's alright for them they haven't got crohn's and don't feel the pain and disstress your under and when you can eat or drink much and mostly up all night without sleep your fatigued with pain that won't go away , well what is the point in going. sometimes i believe people don't believe you if it's not broken leg or arm they can't see it and that is cruel. I feel where your coming from and it's wrong. i am sure your tired and all you want to do is ly down for a few hours hopefully the pain and the dirrahea will stop soon. and as for financee he should be more understanding. I hope things will clear for you soon. best wishes

I can totally sympathize. I'm sorry, but when I'm unable to even walk upright, and it takes me 3 minutes just to get off the couch, the last thing I'm doing is the fricken dishes! My boyfriend gets annoyed with this as well, and I just ask him if he would like to trade places. Then I go into full detail about how I'm feeling that day, complete with a lovely description of my bowel movements so far. That usually shuts him up. He knows that when I'm pain, leave me alone. When I start contemplating going to the er, he doesn't ask me to do anything. He knows I only go there when I'm in extreme pain. I help when I can, but I can't make myself better, as hard as I'm trying. Your fiance needs to understand what this disease is like, and what it's like to be in such bad pain, everyday.
As for the blood, I'm in the same boat there too haha. It's still a bit of a shock to see, but now I know I'm not dying when it happens. I used to panic and go to the hospital right away, thinking I had internal bleeding and would die within the hour if I didn't go. I've learned from that haha.
I hope you can see your GI soon, and get some answers. I absolutely hate this, and I imagine you do too.

It's horribly scary to see blood but the colour is important. The darker it is, the more serious the cause. Although there are exceptions, bright red tends to be something like piles and nothing much to worry about. The darker it is, suggests bleeding inside the digestive tract and is more serious and something to be concerned about.
