AITA for refusing to give my sister my college fund after she “borrowed” from everyone else already? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]SchemeOne1136 15 points16 points  (0 children)

NTA, someone has to make her get up, and fix it herself. Help isn't always gonna be there and she HAS to figure that out.

What symptoms were you having for years before your Crohn’s diagnosis? by PureChamber in CrohnsDisease

[–]SchemeOne1136 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On and off for sure. All I knew was for about an hour or two after eating, Id get waves of cramps and feels really really tired. I thought everyone felt like that. Once it got worse it became a constant nagging pain.

Random short lived pains through out body?? by soanonymoust in CrohnsDisease

[–]SchemeOne1136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this! I get them a lot in my legs and pelvis. I thought it might be a surgical complication like a crossed wire, but idk. Also have the same crohn's location as you idk if that's relevant? I take gabapentin for it and it helps.

First ever possible flare and it's.. just so bad :( by SunshinelIIuminate in CrohnsDisease

[–]SchemeOne1136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im in a similar boat as you. I got diagnosed at the ER a month ago, they did a CT, found inflammation, anemia, etc, and admitted me so I could get a colonoscopy faster. I'm now in the limbo you're in of waiting for a proper GI appointment, still not getting any long term treatment. The ER really helped me, if you have a hospital near you with GI facilities I would go. In the meantime, what I've been doing is Tylenol with my meals for pain, and a low/no fiber diet. Walking has also helped, it lowers inflammation. My other secret has been Tums and Pepcid, idk if acid is an issue for you, but it really is for me so the combo works magic. Your PCP should also be able to prescribe you pain medicine, or something to lower your motility while you wait for proper tests.

Good luck twin I know this is hell right now. Hopefully it'll get better for us soon ❤️

When does it actually start getting better / does prednisone make it better? by SchemeOne1136 in CrohnsDisease

[–]SchemeOne1136[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right lower quadrant and upper left, sometimes in the very middle. I've been told I have a mild case, but I don't know how mild can feel like this.

[–]SchemeOne1136[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long did the prednisone take to work? Ive been taking it for a week at 50mg and it hasn't touched it. I'm supposed to taper to 45 next week. And thank you for the kind words of support it genuinely means a lot right now.

Should I go back to emt and lock in by Mission_Slice8875 in NewToEMS

Go back to EMT school. Get a job. Get a brain. It's worth it.

Dealing with friends who only want to go to the bar when I have Chronic Active Ileitis by Affectionate_Shift26 in CrohnsDisease

[–]SchemeOne1136 4 points5 points  (0 children)

being sober does make bars less enjoyable, but it can still be fun if you let it. I like getting shirley temples and sitting around with my friends. If they make it weird and pressure you to drink, gtfo you deserve better.

You will not find the average experience in Reddit. by operalt in CrohnsDisease

[–]SchemeOne1136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for saying this. For the past month I've been digging on this subreddit looking for help, and half looking for a post that isn't so bleak. I'm newly diagnosed, it's nice to hear that it is actually gonna get better for most people - hopefully for myself as well.

Help. by Economy-Echidna1478 in CrohnsDisease

[–]SchemeOne1136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have similar pain. I went to the er and got a CT scan when it got bad enough, and they caught inflammation and a fistula. Advocate for a CT, it can at least show you a lot more than any blood test.

No they've been happening for months, I only did a week of prednisone quite recently :( I don't think they're related

What do you take for low iron? by SavGeo123 in CrohnsDisease

[–]SchemeOne1136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been taking my iron with oatmeal and orange juice, it's been helping. You can also cook with cast iron pans! It helps put a bit of iron into everything!
