When are your symptoms worse?

[RachaelJeanne]

Im just wondering what time of the day your Crohn's symptoms seem to be the worst. For me it is in the morning. Which makes for a hard morning because I have to be at work at seven o'clock. Usually by after lunch my stomach has calmed down and I feel better. Just wondering...

Hi, welcome to the forum! Mornings are generally the worst for me as well. I usually wake up about 2.5 hours before I have to be to work - that way, if I require extra toilet time or just extra time to get myself ready in general, I can do what I need to without worrying too much about being late. I never have any appetite when I first wake up and am often a bit nauseous, but usually by the time I get to work I'm feeling better and am starting to get hungry, so I often either pack a little breakfast or I turn to my stash of snack foods that I keep at my desk. That system has been working well for me.

Mine seem worse in the evening. I just had to give a stool sample so they could check for c. diff.

Mine is defiantly worse in the morning, about 15 minutes after waking up i feel the need to go urgently. And then normally have to go another 3 or 4 times before i am even out the door for work. Like Cat-a-tonic said i don't eat at home cause im too nauseous normally bring a breakfast or snack cause in a couple hours i do start to feel hungry

Sometimes "I delay eating in the morning because I am not always feeling the best and am afraid to make it worse.

Sometimes, I feel like I have to go several times at night and feel like I am delaying others from going to bet.

Always worse in the morning. It's funny I don't often start feeling badly during the day or evening usually. Almost 100% of the time I feel sick always begins in the morning. I've never understood that. I can go to bed feeling great and wake up a few hours later in complete disarray. My morning is basically what identifies whats in store for my day. If I wake up feeling well I'll generally feel well that day and vice verse.
