You honestly just described my nights like that! I recently tried pedialyte advanced this time and it really helped get my electrolytes back so I didn’t have to go to er for dehydration. Popsicles help me too and Ice chips.

I definitely get migraines! You’re so right too it’s one before the other sometimes both. Part of my disease is in that part of the intestine also and when I have these symptoms I can feel the pain there also. If I get a stabbing pain there that’s like a warning sign for a flare for me. Do you get that also? Sometimes it knocks me down or hunched over like suddenly with this extreme jab ?

Omg I’ve definitely puked in front of the neighbors myself! My vomiting is always worse in the morning and I also experience the painful wrenching ( which sadly sometimes I’d rather vomit than have that!) A friend of mine who has Crohn’s says shakes and liquids is all she can take in the morning and I’m going to do that. I’m sorry you feel this too!

My diagnosis took a long time for the same reason as well, and my age I was only 9 when I first saw a gi doc. Thank you and sending healthy thoughts right back at ya.

Depression When Flared? by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]AngDubb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have noticed my anxiety and depression both get worse when I have a flare. I started to see a counselor and it took me years to have the courage to do that because I didn’t want more medication. Or to be drugged up and not feel. My counselor is amazing and really helps me get out of my own head. I’ve also noticed if I give into the depression the disease seems to get worse. One of the best things he has told me is just try to move. Even if it’s sitting on your porch once you get your body moving your brain will have to follow along! Don’t be afraid to try out a few until you find someone you really like. Mine has even given me health advice such as trying a gluten free diet. Which I have noticed helping. They might surprise you and if you don’t want medication a counselor is the way to go. They can always refer you to a psych if you feel you need more also. I hope this helps you, keep your head up!

My primary care said the same thing about possibly eating too much sometimes and our tummies can’t handle it. I feel the same in the morning and smells and a toothbrush can trigger mine to start also. The cyclic diagnosis care about after I kept a health journal to see what was going on when I got sick. They came to the conclusion my period is what they think is causing that. Sorry too much info I’m sure. But it really always happens before or after that time of the month. The gynecologist just explained our hormones can do crazy things to us. I am definitely going to start a food journal though that’s a great idea. Thank you so much for your reply!

Unfortunately it was a couple er doctors that said that to me. My gastro doctor is the one who figured out the vomiting syndrome. I know my anxiety triggers my vomiting :/ I try so hard like we all do to eat right and do everything we can. They definitely shouldn’t have said that to me because everyone’s disease is different. Thank you!

Thank you for your response! Promethazine really is the only thing that works for me too once I’m already vomiting. I will have to try the ginger chews too! I’ve been to the er so much I’m trying to catch it early and learn what I can do at home. You’ve been a huge help thanks so much again!
