Rashing out

So to update everyone, I went to the internal medicine/infectious disease doctor the other day and he order like 22 blood test no lie. All were for the most part normal, except for the phospholipids. I am not sure if they were either high or low, but he said that he would have to consult with a rheumatologist on how to treat me. He also wasn’t sure in how that would relate to my crohn’s disease either but he had to do some more research. But it gave him a starting point. In the mean time, I was to use silvadine cream twice a day to damped the effects of the rash. I can’t confirm or deny that the cream is working or not. It’s really hard to say at this point because I have had this stupid rash for such a long time. Needless to say, I have an appointment with the rheumatologist on Thursday. Fingers crossed again for the 10th time that we are on the way to finding a treatment.

In regards to my other symptoms, they are getting out of control. The nausea is increasing daily and to me that is almost the equivalent of having pain all the time. It’s almost debilitating. Also, I have a few canker sores. Something new is brewing inside me, I hope it shows up on my endoscopy on the 13th.  And its of course summer time weather and my joints are acting up! But I am fighting to stay strong!

Thank for reading! 🙂

Hi! My name is Jacquie... you can call me... Jacquie, Jax, Jack, JC, jcrohnie, or whatever other clever nickname you can come up with! :) I am always open to new nicknames. I recently turned 30 and I am not sure how I feel about it yet, lol. I also have Crohn's disease. I was diagnosed when I was 16 years old. It's been a roller coaster ride to say the least. I currently live my parents as I try to manage my health. I also have two dogs that I love more than anything. I intend to share my realities about living with Crohn's disease... even the gut wrenching details. I suffer from multiple GI and non-GI symptoms related to crohn's disease. I had surgery in 2007 to have 2 feet of my colon removed. I was in remission for 5 years and now symptoms are back as fierce as ever. I tend to find the humor in most of my everyday life- so I plan to share my humor with you. I plan to share the realities of anxiety and depression as well. I tried to be so resilient to both anxiety and depression... but the truth is it happens. It makes me human... not super girl! Which is good because I don't think I could sport spandex and a cape, lol. :) Anyways, I intended to share my everyday adventures and misadventures, diet and lifestyle changes, holistic approaches I try, medications, symptoms, and life with Crohn's! Happy reading and thanks for stopping by my blog!
