Yeah, Frightful, or Something Like It
The weather outside is not especially frightful, certainly not as frightful as we were led to believe. It seems that we -- B.Town and a few surrounding neighbors -- are in a small strip that did not catch the brunt of the storm that is raging everywhere else on the east coast.
I just watched Up, and please do so if you haven't already. It was quite wonderful, but more than that I cannot say.
My feeling crummy during the day Thursday turned into a full-fledged Crohn's attack, intense pain included, by late afternoon, at which point I was sitting in a gymnasium in a county facility waiting for my swine flu shot. I got the shot, and then allowed myself to *ahem* release my pain all the way home by screaming my guts out, so to speak. I mananged to sleep fitfully all night and did not go into work on Friday. I'm better now, but still wrung out and sore. And nauseous often, now, in fact, so I think I will sign off and post.
Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteWell, that's rotten. Don't know how you managed to wait in line with that. Hope it passes soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you will trudge through the pain to a joyous and Merry Christmas with your family. Take care. =^..^=
ReplyDeleteYuck. I hope the pain has passed and you're feeling better now. We didn't start to get any snow till very late last night, even though it was forecasted to start in the late afternoon. They said we'd get 6-10" -- we got 20". I love it.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how we (women) manage to do what we have to in order to get through. It's like needing to use the bathroom and being able to wait till you get in the door (or just seeing the house).
ReplyDeleteAs a crohnie of 20+ years, you probably didn't have a flare-up, but the pain was just as bad. It's just that when you have CD, everything hits your gut first, just like a flare-up. If you can't get over it quickly, it will flare in your gut and won't go away without treatment.
FYI, most people who get infusions are happier with the infusion than taking daily meds. Everybody's case is different, even their levels of pain. I just wish gastros had GI problems--they might get a clue of a pain that just doesn't let up and how exhausting it is.
I hope things are calm and stay that way and you have a good vacation, hot flashes and all.
