what to do??
my girlfriend has crohn's and has been diagnosed since august. on christmas eve she had a bad flare up and went to the er and they gave her some new meds. she is taking asacol and prednisone to take every day. she also takes percocet when she is in pain to relieve it and normally a quarter of one knocks her out for awhile. the other day her hands started shaking so she started reading up on her meds and foundout she shouldnt be taking the prednisone so she hasnt taken it the last two days. also for the last few days her lower back has been hurting a lot too. lastnight she came down with a fever and her back was in a lot of pain so she took a full percocet and it didnt even put her to sleep for a couple hours. she was hot all night long and i kept trying to cool her down with wet wash clothes on her forehead. she still has a fever today and isnt feeling good at all. she says her tummy really hurts and so does her back. i am wondering if i should bring her to the doctor or what i should do? she has an appointment with her specialist on the 27th but i feel like this should be addressed sooner. i am just looking for information on what i should do and if i should bring her to the er.. thank you
