I got a call from my gi's office. The specialist doesn't feel like I am having a flare. He was thinking maybe the muscles in my pelvic floor were weakening and they gave me the option of going to a colorectal surgeon. After the assistant hung up, she ran into the GI. He doesn't want me to deal with surgeon right now. If I am still having issues in a week, they will have me go up from to three colestid a day. They will talk about increasing humira up from biweekly to weekly after the surgery on my scalp .
 
I don't know what to believe. My specialist says I am not having a flare yet I smell like I am sick sometimes when I go to the bathroom and I can feel my heartbeat down there. Along with that is the diarrhea and incontinence. Forgive me for venting.
 
Keep after them Ron - smell is a stronger indicator than I think many in the medical profession will admit to. If a dog can smell cancer, I don't think odour should be ruled out. I likewise can detect certain odours and have even recognized them when there has been a 30 year gap. Don't give in to them, make them justify their response. "I don't feel..." isn't very convincing.
