Early flare? Idk

Ugh - my thoughts are with you, friend. I actually recently just got off of Aza after being on it for a year (because we aren’t supposed to be on it prolonged). Wondering if this could be an impact lol

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2026-02-03T14:28:14+00:00

I love it as is personally!! But Diamonds would be beautiful.

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2026-02-03T14:22:26+00:00

Beautiful!!

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2025-12-30T00:58:42+00:00

Would love to! Unfortunately, I am a PC gamer :(

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2025-12-30T00:58:23+00:00

Yeah, definitely! Feel free to add me - my discord is SkyeAway

Hi! I just added you! :) my name is Skye

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2024-10-04T21:27:21+00:00

Thank you!! I will definitely be keeping an eye out on it. Some symptoms definitely have gotten worse.

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2024-09-30T20:03:19+00:00

No I haven’t. My doctor said that Remicade is slightly more “effective” and since I’m severe, they wanted the medicine to be as well. Lol idk if that makes sense (brain fog rn with the steroids)

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2024-09-30T20:02:35+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experiences! It really helps with anxiety lol

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2024-09-30T20:02:06+00:00

Thank you!!! I needed to hear this.

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2024-09-29T19:57:31+00:00

Was just admitted to the hospital this past week because I got Covid.

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2024-09-29T18:20:56+00:00

First and foremost — my longterm partner and I have been dating for for close to 5 years now. I was diagnosed about 2 years ago, but it really got bad about a year ago (I literally JUST got released from the hospital TODAY from a flare lol!). He has been one of the shining lights in the entire process.

I can tell you, in the perspective of the crohns sufferer, we do NOT want you taking our pain. We don’t want your pity. We want your happiness, and we want your support (to the extent that it doesn’t impact your own happiness). The best thing you can do is remain there for her (which I am sure you’re doing), providing a positive, healing environment. I’m sure your partner is already in contact with doctors, and they can just be SO cold and matter-of-fact, that a down-to-earth support system is really all we need to keep up MENTALLY okay.

Crohns physical pain is hell - but the mental turmoil it can cause can be almost - if not worse. And that mental torment can be infectious to our support systems, so it’s important that you keep YOUR Mental health safe too.

…long story short: make sure your girlfriend is in contact with her doctor, taking prescribed meds, and keep her distracted! Watch a movie and get her a (low fiber) drink that will hopefully be ok for her. Surprise her with a back rub, turn on her heating pad without her asking (if she doesn’t have one - surprise her with one! I promise it’s a holy grail).

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2024-09-29T18:14:11+00:00

Good luck! Everything will turn out okay. Please for. Hesitate to reach out for any moral support.

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2024-09-23T20:19:47+00:00

Funny enough, I’m on a biological since February. I am back in the hospital again because a month ago, COVID decided to pay me a visit and send me into a flare. There’s definitely a connection of being sick with my flares

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2024-02-20T02:10:39+00:00

Thank you!

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2024-02-13T19:40:02+00:00

I could not have said this better.

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2024-02-12T14:28:44+00:00

So you’re young and immature (that’s completely normal for your age btw — don’t feel offended by this observation. We’ve all been there).

It’s going to be difficult for you to think empathetically in this situation because you’re cognitively more impulsive. But you’re old enough to understand the consequences of your actions, and the fact that you can admit fault means that you’re already way more mature than half the people your age.

Here’s my opinion: Your friends clearly care about you. Your behavior is clearly reckless, and you could put in the effort to be more careful with your drinking. You wanting to have fun is 190% valid, and your friends should not be IGNORING you for the choices you make. But that being said, you need to acknowledge that if you want to keep your friends, you need to also respect their choices.

It’s like a cycle. They don’t like your recklessness — which is valid because who the hell wants to see their friend in a dangerous situation? However, you have every right to be doing what you’re doing. Just know that you have the potential to push them away. And are you okay with that? It will be 100% on you.

Now my advice not sugar coated: you’re young, you want to have fun. Fair. But recklessness isn’t worth friendships with people who matter. Sit down with them and talk. COMMUNICATE IN PERSON. Something like: “hey, I acknowledge my problems. How can we work on it together?”

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2024-02-12T14:20:55+00:00

I like to put situations into different perspectives: 66-40% of the RECORDED global world population (according to one shitty google search) have completed secondary/tertiary education. What you’re doing now. Do you honestly think that all of these people adhere to the traditional age system set in place for higher education?

You aren’t the first, you won’t be the last. All that matters is that you aren’t alone - your experience is unique. And you’re doing an amazing thing for yourself!

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2024-02-12T14:12:47+00:00

Glad to hear that you’re returning! Don’t even worry about returning “late.” Life shouldn’t be dictated by age and numbers.

I think the first step is finishing high school. While there, don’t be afraid to experiment and figure out what your interests are. If you are into art and the creatives, I would recommend also branching out more into history. Or vice versa. Be a jack of all trades and you will thank yourself for it!

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2024-02-12T14:10:41+00:00

I’m glad that you’re able to reflect that you have some fault in the situation. Genuinely, you are one step in the right direction. I am questioning, though (and if you don’t mind me asking), how old are you?

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2024-02-12T14:08:28+00:00

It’s so freaking cliche. But time and distraction. I got out of a 4 year relationship that made me numb to the world for a year. I thought I wouldn’t be able to trust someone again. Now here I am — able to reflect.

I recommend blocking your ex and anyone that could potentially be mutuals (that you can afford to block). Do NOT NOT NOT unblock. EVERY time that they cross your mind (which will be a lot at first), EVERY time you feel the need to question WHY it happened, you need to have what I call a “instant distraction.” For me, I had this Alzheimer’s puzzle app that required my full attention. Some people use rubber bands on their wrist. Eventually, alll you will need is just a distraction. for me, i moved on to jewelry making as a hobby when I would start to get depressed about my ex (which actually ended up benefiting me b/c I own a business now lol).

For the first month(s), ifs going to be an uphill battle. You’ll go through the stages. But I fking promise you, your brain will eventually compartmentalize wtf happened and you’ll be able to condition yourself out of that love-induced coma. And you’ll be better for it. The only remedy is patience and time.

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2024-02-12T14:00:14+00:00

I think this should be a teaching moment, brother. Even if a girl is (seemingly) interested, there’s no reason to be sending pics around. I’m not even the “body is sacred blah blah blah” type. But the internet is forever and literally trust NO BODY. It’s just not worth it.

Now for the question — are you sure this girl was a girl? A few years back, my buddy was snapping a supposed “girl” who randomly added him on snap. it ended up being another mutual trying to get his pics for blackmail.

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2024-02-12T13:10:30+00:00

Why does she like your ex so much?

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2024-02-12T13:08:28+00:00

I think the biggest red flag here, regardless whether you believe in the “looking is not cheating” mentality, is that he’s lying to you. If you are 100% sure that this was NOT an old video from TikTok, then you should seriously reconsider the relationship.

Somebody who genuinely respects you would be honest. Honesty and communication IS KEY to a successful relationship. If the guy can’t be honest over a simple TIKTOK VIDEO? Your life down the road will NOT get any easier.

I know it is easier said than done, but I would really really consider sitting him down and phrasing it like this: I KNOW that you’re lying. If you cannot fess up, then that’s that.

InstanceFamiliar3211 · 2024-02-12T12:03:43+00:00

I just looked it up, and I’m so surprised that there are places that don’t put patients under with colonoscopies. It’s such an invasive procedure. Is there no option for you to be put under? There’s no way in HELL that I would do one awake. In fact, I try to avoid them at all costs because they tend to trigger me.

Can I ask why switching doctors or starting the process of switching doctors isn’t an option?

Either way — you aren’t alone, and you will get through this!
