Med changes, feeling awful
I got a partial diagnosis a few weeks ago at my colonoscopy (it's at least colitis, but they want to do an MRI because there are signs of crohn's on the part of the small intestant they could see) and was started on Asacol right away.
I noticed a gradual change, and after a week the nausea was much better, along with my stool starting to be more solids than fluids.
BUT the itches... I 've scratched my lower legs raw in my sleep and whenever they got warm (like under the covers when I sleep, or in the shower) it felt like fireants under my skin.
So they pulled it Wednesday and put me on some cortisone based something (don't remember the name) and I took the first pill this morgning. I feel no effects yet, but I've been nauseated yesterday and today, and been in bad pains, that only ease with the passing of "hard farts". Weird word but the feel almost painful to pass, although they are only air, no residue.
I feel awful. I don't know if it's because if I had two weeks of relative ease and have just forgotten how it was before, or maybe it's just my body having trainig ache from having to work to expell stool for the first time in almost a decade.
I know others have it worse. I just want to pity myself a little.
