The I've gone to the bathrom XX times today thread...

[Kittee]

I feel like I'm using sandpaper at this point. I've made over 5 trips and I Only got to work 2 hours ago.

I feel like every one of my co-workers is staring at me. It doesn't help our bathrooms are in the middle of the office floor and not down some secret back hallway.

I have a headache. I feel like I didn't sleep a wink...and I have 6 more hours to go.

:ymad:

I feel your pain.

Forget your co-workers. I am sure they haven't noticed & if they have, steal a stapler from them.

I've gone to the bathroom 4 times today... and yes, I know, that doesn't seem like a lot, and it isn't. I was going to the bathroom 15-20 times before I sought help and got started on remicade and prednisone. They got me practically into remission, and I was going to the bathroom once a day, and sometimes not at all! (This really freaked me out.)

But today, I went 4 times, and none of them were formed. I'm just a bit depressed because I thought I could stay in remission for longer. I hope it's the remicade wearing off, and not that I've tapered completely off of prednisone... I can live with a week or two of this between remicade infusions, but if it's the prednisone... well, obviously I can't just keep taking that forever.

Sigh. Oh well, some of you have it much worse. Sorry to use your thread.

We're all in this together ttyon.
As Mick says in the opening posts, none of us has the same symptoms, but we all suffer together. No one is worse then anyone else.

I used to have the same problem with Infliximab/Remi. I was on a 10 week cycle, and the last week and the first week around my infusion, was when my symptoms came back. I was going to talk to my consultant about changing to an 8 week cycle, but I was taken off infliximab because of a seizure.

hahaha well we had boxes and boxes or paper towels on our trucks, and they weren't rough so it wasn't too bad.... yeah usually the closest bathroom to me was about 10 miles away.... i was out in the boonies. but luckily there were lots of oil rigs and some of them had port-o-potty's at them so caught a break some times. but company policy, don't ask to use customers bathroom.
