Well, where should I begin?
I was fine yesterday, I felt very good. I woke up this morning extremely gassy, to the point where I was nauseated I couldn't eat breakfast. I also had an itchy you know what ( TMI), So i used Destin. I went to work and stayed at work all day until I got off at 3. I came home and I used to restroom which was pretty normal in my case ( with Crohns, I don't have exact rock solid). But I felt like my colon is just inflammed and I'm having this pain on my left side.. it feels like when I move a certain way like there is something in there. I don't have to use the restroom so I don't think it's a big stool, but when I take my fingers and press in on my left side.. it feels inflammed. I don't know what's going on, if I'm starting to relapse with c-diff again or not!! I've been off vanco for a month now, but I'm still on the flagyl. I was fine up until this morning. I feel tired and I feel like my mood is down. Usually, when my Crohns acts up, I usually have pain on the left side. I cried just a few minutes ago :/ ( Boo! I hate crying like this) I'm suppose to start my externship at The Mercy Heart Institute tomorrow. This is my future and I need to make a good impression. I can't just call off my first day. I'm really worrying and I know I Shouldn't. I have no idea what's going on!
 
For starters you can phone your GI and let them know about your symptoms along with making an appointment to see them (unless they are able to help over the phone). You may need some testing done to be sure of what's going on (at least a colonoscopy). The sooner you find the cause and treat it the sooner you'll be feeling better. Hope you feel better soon! :)
 
yes i think Crabby right - make the appointment straight away. I know it is awful it always seems to rise its head again just when we are starting something knew but hey we won't back down :). Maybe it might have been cos of starting a new thing aswell, it might have had and effect? Hope you first day went well.
