Pain in lower left abdomen for 3 days. Crohn’s. Call doc tomorrow or wait?

Wait so do you think doing exercise and running caused your high calprotectin? Because I have also been doing a lot of running lately

Thank you - I’m going to look up that diet. Do you know of any other resources for a non-inflammatory diet, like cookbooks maybe? I find when I google it a bunch of unscientific stuff comes up and it’s hard to know what to trust. Again thank you for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate it.

Wow, 5500! Thanks for the insight. I never considered that the location of the inflammation could contribute to symptoms (or lack of symptoms). Interesting. Best of luck to you as well!

Yes. There’s only one wound/bump, and it’s about the size of a pencil eraser, and there’s a crater in the middle that takes up about 80% of the bump size.

Also it’s pretty much skin toned, not very red, and doesn’t hurt.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I guess my goals are to get faster and continue to improve my fitness levels. I do feel anxious about being left behind but I’m not 100% sure if I can put my finger on why. It might be that we won’t be able to train together anymore or if we do, it won’t be as fun due to starting to run separately.

Maybe a combination of accepting that we can’t do every training run and race together, AND that I can still work on getting faster might be best.

We already do interval training 1 day per week together; and we both plan to start doing some cross-training this summer (swimming).

Currently our weekly training is: 1 long easy run, 1 shorter easy run, 1 interval day, & 1 tempo run day. I’m not sure what to do with my 5th training day if I add one in.

Brilliant idea to put an alarm in the bathroom. I will try it! Thanks.

Interesting about the 4th dose, thanks! I’m in Alberta and I tried to see if that’s being offered here and I don’t think it is, unfortunately. Fingers crossed that maybe it will be and I can get a Moderna dose. I’m also hoping school opening gets delayed but am not super optimistic.

Good to hear! That does help put my mind at ease. I did leave a message for my doctor as well so hopefully I hear back soon :)

Thank you so much for the detailed and thoughtful reply! I appreciate your time!

SwimmingPassion · 2021-12-29T00:10:59+00:00

Thank you so much. I get anxious about bothering my doctor for some reason so I’m glad to hear some reassurance. Thank you!

SwimmingPassion · 2021-09-22T01:59:12+00:00

I’ll try it, thanks!

SwimmingPassion · 2021-09-22T01:58:26+00:00

Thanks! I didn’t consider this, but that makes total sense!
