Hello lovely fellow Crohnies, just thought I'd ask if anyone else suffers with vomiting?
Of course I am well used to the action at the other end of the digestive system, but things have taken a new turn for me, and I'm not sure if it's the Crohns or the Aza?
Let me give you the gory details...
I went to my Judo class (I try to keep active when my bum isn't playing up too much). Was just chatting to my friend before going to get changed and got that feeling - you know the one... get to the toilet now or things are going to get embarressing for all concerned.... I sprinted off and murdered the facilities. Not a great experience because they are open at the ceiling through to the changing rooms and the dojo - I dont think there was a person in there (only about 100 people) who didn't know that I was having a moment.
So, moment passed, and I walk out but then start with a really hot flush (totally dripping with sweat), and decide to go outside and just sit on my car for a moment.
Next thing I know I am on my hands and knees throwing up violently all over the car park. Vomiting violently is easier said than done if you don't actually eat anything... I live off soya milk and the occasional bit of grilled fish, so once the milk was gone I was just dry heaving in a most attractive fashion. Couple that with the fact that my butt cheeks were clenched like steel in case my bowels decided they wanted a piece of the action too.
I was spotted (clearly I wasn't being as discreet as I'd hoped), and some good samaritans took me home, all the while with agonising stomach cramps. Once home I again viciously assaulted the toilet, after which I draw a blank. Hubby arrived home some time after to find me unconscious on the floor having apparently fainted and cracked my head on a chest of drawers...
I'm still riding the vomit comet on a regular basis, and I have terrible pains - all in the usual place - ileocecum...right hand side, like someone is sticking knitting needles in me...
Where I'm having a problem getting my head around this is the fact that I am on max dose steroids AND azathioprine - shouldnt I feel great? And vomit? Do any of you guys ride the vomit comet like this? Could it be the Aza?
I have to admit I am seriously wondering if I can carry on working at this rate... the teacher who vomits (or worse) all over the car park is not a great reputation and potentially career limiting. On top of everything else I am SOOO tired...
Hmm, not sure if I just wanted to rant there, (potentially overshared once again), but let me know if anyone is the same - it might just make me feel better to know some other poor devil is riding the same wave as me!
Thanks for listening guys!
