I am not sure what's going on exactly, but my Crohn's is right ticked off.
I have lost more weight, felt incredibly shaky and weak yesterday, and my intestines are punching me from the inside day in and day out.
So, I am trying everything.
I am sticking to full fluids (Boost, maybe some yogurt or apple sauce) for the next few days, especially since something as mild as cheerios had me racing to the washroom shortly after. Boost it is. It won't help the weight loss, but if I can manage to keep something in, maybe I will at least maintain where I am.
I took a Maxalt last night. I was having a mild migraine - one that I usually wouldn't bother to use a Maxalt for - but last time the medication also managed to help my intestinal pain. Perhaps I am experiencing stomach migraines? Either way, I tried it last night - nope.
I took a muscle-relaxant as well. Didn't work.
So today, I will be switching my antibiotics to see if that refresher will help, I will be doing my Methotrexate today (which I am due for anyways), going to stick to Boost, and then do a Cortisone Enema.
Let's hit this thing with whatever I can (without over-medicating) and hope that a few days resting from trying to digest any solid food will give them the break that they need.
On a positive note, I get to have my last (or second to last) dress fitting of my wedding gown tomorrow night. Unfortunately, they may have to take it in.
Here's the problem - I have no idea if this is a problem that will continue over the next few weeks. So I *could* return back to normal by then, or I could lose even more weight. So do I take it in about half of what needs to be taken in (maybe an inch), and then if I lose I won't be completely swimming in it, and if I gain it will be perfectly fitted to my body? Or do I take it in the full 2 inches and then if I continue to lose then it will be closer to the fit I need.... but then try not to gain any weight at all - with a disease I can't control...?
First world problems, I know.
