Not feeling so well lately. Everyone else can see it on my face too. They say I look real tired and worn down. That's exactly how I feel too. I was doing so much better for a while with that. I had even stopped taking a nap every day like I was. Had some stress, which seems to be all it takes. Had a real bad diarrhea and pain attack yesterday and this morning had pain that I swore was going to be a repeat. But luckily it passed. Kinda worried because in the past feeling like this has lead to flares. Before my GI bleed I looked really crappy, very pale (which I don't think I am right now) and so very tired. I don't want to worry, only will make it worse.


Oh and I've also had some body pains, mainly in my back and shoulders. Probably completely unrelated, but I don't know. Just feel generally yucky.



Does anyone else get these pre-"warning" signs, and do you do anything to help try and turn it around? I guess more rest and sleep would be a good start, and trying to reduce stress. I was doing so well, I so don't want to flare!

Hi Jenn Sorry to hear your not feeling so great perhaps your B12 is down have you been over doing things lately I know summers can be a time when we seem to be busy I go all the time but never seem to get caught up but I never get bored that way .I would give it a little time to see how things go if your not too sick .I don't nap anymore last year I was napping all the time and so.. wore out but then I had that giant abcs to come out in Nov. Sure hope things improve for you and maybe your needing some extra rest. lol gail

Is your attack after you eat like a gallbladder attack these can have pain that go into the shoulder and back,do you still have your gallbladder . IT will give you an over all ill feeling if you still have your gallbladder have your doc send you for an ultra sound of it ,its a painless test.

Thanks to you both. Sugarmarie, I had my gallbladder out back in 2001. So it's not that. It feels more like pulled or sore muscles. Just sore and achy.

gachrons, I have been doing a lot this summer. My Mom had surgery earlier in the month and I was doing a ton over there for her. Then once she was well enough for me to not be there as often I had projects that I started working on here at home (cleaning out some closets ect..). I've probably over done it. Just stinks that I can't even do that much without having things act up! I feel like such a cream puff! LOL

I rested quite a bit today, but I think it's going to take more then one day of rest to get me feeling better. No stomach pain or D today, so that was good! Fingers are crossed.
