This is more of a "you may have been on prednisone if... thread, but generally if you were ever on pred, you have crohns. So I'll leave the beginning part the same. You get it haha
You may have crohns if you have "lowered" yourself to buying maternity clothes just for the sheer comfort and to hide your swollen belly after eating a piece of bread.
If you have gotten so sick of strangers staring at your massive gut, and having to explaining your illness and medications, that you are now "public pregnant" and have no problem reaping the benefits. This is a fun game me and my parents like to play when we go out. Also, one of my dad's favourite new pastimes is pushing his sickly daughter in a wheelchair during outings. I must say, it's awesome.
If you've looked up "contouring tricks" online to make your face look slimmer. It just makes me look like a chola, or like I have a really stupid sunburn.
If people are always asking if you've been crying, because even your eyelids have swollen from the pred.
If you can see your ribs, spine, hip bones and collarbones sticking out like they are trying to escape, yet you still look about 20 pounds overweight when clothed. WTF. A little proportion would be nice.
If you lie awake at night, exhausted, but can't stop thinking about how bad you want another cookie, and a mcdonalds hamburger at the same time. Until you finally crawl out of bed and eat two bowls of cereal.
You just finished eating an entire box of kraft dinner and a glass of juice. 20 minutes later, you're back in the kitchen making a can of soup and a sandwhich. But hey, it's not you, it's the medication. RIGHT?!
Ok I'm done haha. Clearly I'm feeling very bitter about a certain little white pill right now. On the plus side, I'm getting a pretty good idea of what it's going to be like to be pregnant. So is my boyfriend. I think he's rethinking our relationship hahahahahahahaha
