Sometimes, I think my immune system/bowels hate me...

...but not as much as I hate them sometimes.

Today sucked. I have been super conscious of what I've been eating lately because I'm not due for another Humira shot until next week. The off week also tends to be the worst for me - so my GI might increase my dosage to weekly rather than every other if it doesn't improve.

But, even with my super vigilant eating habits, I had a horrible afternoon. I was sitting in my mom's kitchen, minding my own business when *bam* I started getting pain in my ileum. Twenty minutes later, I had to mow everyone down to get to the bathroom. And then I was wiped out for the entire evening.

Why, body, why??

I know its hard, I have days when I feel like everyone hates me - kids, ex, co-workers - and now I apparently hate myself so much I am attacking my own systems!!!! AAAARGH.

Hope tomorrow is better for you!!

Its hard when it comes on so suddenly like that. Especially when you can't seem to understand why!
Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks, kllyeve and xX_LittleMissValentine_Xx. So far, I am feeling better today. I'm hoping it lasts.

And yea, it is definitely sucky when it springs up out of nowhere on you. Probably one of the things I hate the most about any episodes with my Crohn's is the lack of predictability at times. 90% of the time, I can usually pinpoint why my Crohn's acts up, but, 10% of the time I'm usually at a loss.
