Sorry, couldn't think of a witty title. I'm just looking for a few words of support from any lovely fellow Crohnies - I know you're there guys!
Lower right abdominal pain has been building over the last few days. It's a familiar terminal ileum pain I've had for decades and it flares up sometimes. Getting really sore now, stabbing pains that I can't seem to calm. My next Infliximab treatment is nearly 4 weeks away.
Questions for anyone:
At this stage, is it better to eat or not eat?
Do hot water bottles actually help the pain? My Ibd team say that hot water bottles actually divert blood away from the organs to the skin surface, so actually are doing harm. But to me they just feel comforting so I use them...
Any other thoughts or words of wisdom gladly received . It's not a medical emergency, I'm not in agony, not desperately ill, just feeling sorry for myself and miserable
Current meds: azathioprine, Infliximab, Pentasa
