Weight loss

[babyjane]

Has anyone experienced weight loss with no abdo pain and normal eating habits? joint pain, rash and fatigue are all bad but there no abdo pain at the moment just noticeable weight loss.
Anyone any ideas why?

Unexplained weight loss could indicate a flare. I believe it has to do with the body working harder due to inflammation and using more calories. Are you having a lot of bms? If you're losing a lot of weight I'd certainly give your dr a call

bms? waiting on CT colonoscopy and bloods to be done!!

Bms means bowel movements.
If you are eating normally but still losing weight it could be an indication of a flare.
If you can call someone or if you feel it can wait, being the bank holiday weekend, then do so.
I have had flare before with no pain anywhere just lots of rushing to the loo with blood.
If you are concerned go to the nearest a&e and explain you are waiting to have tests but are in pain and are concerned about the weight loss. They might not do much though.
Let us know how you go. Xxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is usually a presursor to a flare for me. Keep on the lookout for it, maybe the doctor will give you something to head it off.
