Tired of being sic...

[tntcacho]

I was told I have crohn's back in feb of 2008 and I am tired of being sick. I have been on pain killers for 9 months now. I am on ultram 6 pills a day 300 mg. Not only do I have to worry about being sick with this now I have to worry about a addiction. I have had a flare up for almost 9 months now. My stomach hurts and I get these sharp pains that come and go. But my stomach aches are a daily thing that just won't go away. I am tired of poppin pills and nothing working. Not to say It's hard to leave the house when you are in pain and in the bathroom at least 10 times aday. I am wondering if it's time to just go under the knife and have it taken out. I know it can come back but just to live awhile with no pain would just be a great thing. and to eat and not run in the bathroom or be in pain and go out and have dinner would be a blessing. I just need someone to talk too. I try to talk to my husband but he just doesn't understand the pain and aches I have. I recently have been having hand pain in my joints and my knees. plus my eyes flare up and get swollen. Doc said it was from the crohn's and is very concern. I mean who knows a doc that will prescribe 540 pain killers at one time for 3 months. He must truely feel my pain. :depressed:

oh i so know where you are at and am so frustrated and sick and tired of being sick and tired!
I can tell you that right now we are about in the same position. i have the same concerns about pain meds, but seems like without my percocet each morning, i cant function. i weaned myself down to just one pain pill a day and now am on nothing and i still cant figure out how NOT to be miserable.
guess i am not much of a ray of sunshine for you but it was a relief to me to read your words and know that i am not the only one that feels that exact same way.
if i could, i would give you a hugg-although at this point i would be taking the hugg rathering than giving.
