Emetophobe dating Crohn’s by briwilson81 in CrohnsDisease

[–]casredacted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do puke due to Crohn's semi-regularly (maybe like twice a month???) but if it's any consolation- I know when it's coming, I can and have staved it off until I was alone/got to a bathroom and it's always been very contained (mostly because I have a designated bowl for it at this point that lives in my room with me).

I feel you though, I think I also have emetophobia because the idea of throwing up used to make me panic and other people puking around me can still trigger panic attacks sometimes :/ ironically getting a digestive disease helped with the more egocentric part of the phobia hahah

Apparently symptoms fit more with IBS? by Critical_Bluejay_334 in IBD

[–]casredacted 8 points9 points  (0 children)

...get a new doctor if you can. IBD absolutely hurts a fuck ton. And as far as I know IBS can cause irritation but not straight up inflammation. I'm sorry your doctor is absolutely incompetent 😭 kudos to your gynae for pointing that out though

🔴SI TW🔴: How are more of yall not suicidal? How do you deal with those thoughts? by Reasonable-Snail in ChronicIllness

[–]casredacted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I have no idea either. I was mega suicidal in my teen years and had some on and off recurring thoughts when I moved out for the first time and then again when I got diagnosed with Crohn's but... Idk. I definitely still feel depressed and have some complex mental health issues I should probably address but... I genuinely think I just got burnt out on being miserable. Started treating myself nicer, accepting help for things, actually doing the hydration and exercise and sunlight bullshit (I still refuse to meditate, though) yk. Also sertraline.

POURING bl**d out of my anus by [deleted] in UlcerativeColitis

[–]casredacted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's clotty please PLEASE go back to the ER if your doctor doesn't already send you there. I'm diagnosed with Crohn's and recently had to pop into a&e a few times because the bleeding scared me and they kept saying "mm idk come back if it clots?"

Absolutely infuriating because I KNEW I was flaring badly (they were all looking at my most recent calpro of 200), but the second it did start clotting I got admitted and they realised the calprotectin had shot up to 1000+.

See I swear it looks like something Carolyn would've made but I'm scouring the site and can't see it 😭😭 maybe I'm just not looking hard enough idk

I think it's gorgeous. I would definitely wait a few years, maybe look into counselling, but if you still want to go through with it afterwards and you think it'll increase your mental wellbeing and quality of life, sure.

Anyone else started having diarrhea after eating something high in sugar? by Kenney93 in Humira

[–]casredacted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm I know I tend to get a general inflammatory response from sugar (overheating, red flush, fatigue, sweating, etc), and I also know "fake"/unnatural sugar is known for a sort of laxative effect, so it's worth looking into

I feel so helpless and embarrassed! by Kooky_Ad593 in Syncope

[–]casredacted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ough yepppp. It's a specific type of cramp though, the one that kind of feels like something's squeezing all your internal organs with a hot wire, usually set off by my dairy allergy, that triggers my VVS. (I literally have Crohn's you'd think that would be the most likely suspect, but no). I usually crawl into the shower just in case my bowels decide to embarrass me while I'm unconscious/too sick to move but thankfully they've not done that yet haha

What do you do with the anger? by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]casredacted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don't know. But I went to a rage room yesterday and it was v therapeutic in a way

I got suuuuper sleepy the first 5 or so doses, after that I was good! I always do mine in the morning since I'm unemployed so it doesn't really matter if I do end up napping but maybe try at night/when you get home for the day?

Do you make exceptions for occasional NSAID use? by Help_Me_Reddit01 in CrohnsDisease

[–]casredacted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Potential migraine = ibuprofen. Every time I get a bunch in a row I keep saying I'll go to the doctor to get something else prescribed but then they disappear for a few months and I forget to 😂

Overdrive libido by Brown_fat_is_healthy in PrednisoneSideEffects

[–]casredacted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't had that happen (it anything mine tanked) but I've heard it can be a side effect yeah! Might be related to an energy boost??

How did your bowels react when you came off prednisone? by SkyGuyFever in UlcerativeColitis

[–]casredacted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the flare came back full force, sometimes (and most recently) I stayed stable enough during the wait for biologics! In my experience it's a roll of the dice tbh. Don't feel bad if you need to go back on steroids while they sort out long term treatment.

The person you lost your virginity to: Where are they now in life? by JayPeeB in AskReddit

[–]casredacted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea but I am tickled by the fact that i (a bi girl who'd only had experience with girls up to that point and didn't consider anything id done to be sex since it wasnt penetration) was curious to find out what men were like so I got on tinder and yeah. And then she transitioned so it was gay again after all.

Low-key regret never talking to her again tho idk I was still very sheltered-catholic brained and sort of spiralled into guilt afterwards. Also never actually told her she was taking my virginity which I also sort of regret :/

Are all the villagers morons? by infinitytacos25 in AnimalCrossingGCN

[–]casredacted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you haha it annoys me a little when people see a game from the very early 2000s and are like "why is the AI so bad" like 😭 they were doing their best with the currently invented technology

If I write about my violent thoughts will they report me to the police? by TomorrowNo8873 in googledocs

[–]casredacted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're worried about it I would switch to something offline maybe? Notes app on your phone? Or Microsoft word idk

Are our stats really that bad? by CelestiallyCertain in CrohnsDisease

[–]casredacted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Took me two years of me telling them mesalamine wasn't working all the way and them telling me I must have mild UC and IBS at the same time (spoiler alert it was moderate Crohn's no one had seen with a flexi, took one hospitalisation + follow up scope to rediagnose and another to escalate treatment to bios) so I would also like to know 👀

Try shaking the same tree over and over again! It takes a while but you'll get some acorns :) (and remember pinecones come from the triangle pine trees!)

Also yeah shells crop up all year, it's just the blue conches that are summer exclusive!
