Should i go to the Hospital?

[Sjblanch1984]

I can barely take it anymore, especially mornings. I get so many symptoms but i don't get them all the time or sometimes i'll get them almost all at once: Stomach pains, Distention, Cramping, Confusion, Dizziness before i go to bm where i feel like i'll pass out, Irregular Heartbeats, Lethargy, Hyperactivity, Eye Inflammation and dark bags, Hands/Arms/Thumbs shaking at times, ... A choking feeling like i'm going to vomit but not like my stomachs upset, then go to the bathroom and it'll get better...Constant hunger at times, eat a meal and hungry again real soon after...and an upset stomach where i feel like i need to go bm or something then i eat and feel better...What the hell. It drives me nuts. I'm taking cimzia, again. Took it over the spring and summer and i gained some weight but overall i wasn't feeling much better but i'd rather take it than take methotrexate. I've been on steriods for years and if i go even a mg lower on them i get way worse, i still eat a fair amount of food but i think i'm actually losing weight. I've had enough and i need to find out what's going on. Good thing i work 2nd shift because i'm more or less paralyzed until i go to work.

Yes I would say you should, or see your local Dr & get some blood tests done. That amount of symptoms must be miserable & you need someone/something to help.
Please take care

With the amount of symptoms you have described I would definitely go the hospital to get it all checked out. Please go and let us know how you get on. I hope you feel better soon.

Yep, off to the hospital with you!!

My mantra is "If I think I might need to go to the hospital, then I most likely really should go".

From what I have experienced & seen/ read on the forums, Crohnnies are a tough lot, so we tend to minimize our symptoms as we get so used to being in pain or dealing with D or C - so if someone who usually suffers gamely on even thinks they need the hospital - then most likely they should have gone ages ago!!

Good luck, hope you feel better soon
