Why does this happen

[Emilymarie18]

Why am I so crabby and have cramps and I don't get my period so I know its not that
But today and lately I have been so mad and ticked at everything
And I can't get comfortable
Makes me mad

Hey Emilymarie18 sorry you're not feeling well.

Is this around the time when you're supposed to get your period? I don't have periods either from taking Junel as my birth control but can sometimes feel pain a week before I would usually have it or a little pain when I would have had it but no where near as bad as the pain would have been. Although if you've had a period for a number of years then you would know the difference between menstrual pain or abdominal pain/discomfort.

Have you had your vitamin levels tested? B12, iron, potassium, folic acid, magnesium, vit A, B, C, D, E, K, zinc etc. Being low or deficient in many of these can cause all sorts or nasty symptoms including depression which can lead to irritability. Pain can also male people very irritable. Along with lack of sleep (have you been sleeping well?). Do you have diarrhea, constipation or gas at the moment? All of these can create a cramping type feeling and can make you very uncomfortable.

What meds are you currently taking?

I find if im in a flare, it makes me weak and tired (possibly due to the amount of energy the body is using to attack and heal itself + the vitamin deficiencies + anaemia) Even with 10hrs sleep I can still feel so tired. With this and the continual pain and bowel movements I can get very ratty.

Keeping your crohns under control and making sure you are not deficient in anything can help. Other than that try and keep as much stress out of your life as possible and make sure you get enought rest
