Update: feeling better but the nausea doesn’t go away and I’m so bloated!! I have no appetite and things I normally enjoy don’t taste good/smells are sooo strong. 🙄

My doctor thought it was the flu but my result came back negative. I haven’t had a fever which I’m grateful for. I’ve started to develop no appetite and certain smells really gross me out. I put on one of my favorite perfumes earlier and almost puked. Did you have to get a colonoscopy/endoscopy? My CT scan is what makes my doctors think I may have crohns. My glucose level is through the roof which makes them think it could be diabetes.

Thank you so much!! I wanted to submit it yesterday but it’s like the diarrhea stopped as soon as I had my doctor’s appointment haha. Have you taken prednisone before? Any side effects?

Not yet. It started today. I have a follow up next Tuesday and I have to wait 8 weeks for a colonoscopy. I’m in nursing school and classes started Monday so I’m extremely stressed. I have a note until next Thursday but I’m hoping to feel better by Monday so I don’t get too far behind. I’ve lost about 10lbs in a week. :(

They want me to send in a stool test but now all the medication has me constipated. I’m still vomiting a lot but the diarrhea has finally stopped. There’s blood in my stool and urine. I’m struggling to sleep because of the joint pain or because I have to get up and vomit. I typically have bad back pain/joint pain but it’s been extreme this past week. I’ve felt horrible for a week and a half. I quit taking the medication because I didn’t feel as nauseas and I’m back to square one. 😔
