Crohn's Disease Support Group

So it's been awhile since I've been on..I just needed a break.All the tests dr's it was just to much.Things are a little better I think.I still have pain most days...but there's some good one to,I'm not sure if i'm getting better or just use to it.My last test came up clean only a little inflammtion.So i'm happy with that for now..My husband not so much..He says i'm still bad at night and he says I'm still not me.I was recently on flagyl for something not realated to my stomach.. I'm almost done and I feel great I've had no pain at all since ive been taking it..only side effect really bad smelling gas bt even that has stopped.He wants me to go go back to the dr. honestly I dont want to..They cant agree on anything.Nothing they've done has helped.advice i guess is what i need..

Good to have you back!This disease takes it toll on a marriage(TRUST ME I KNOW THIS)!my husband tells me ALL the time I am not the same person I used to be.Well DUH!!!!I have a chronic illness!!!Being sick all the time changes you...dr's appt, tests, it just consumes your life!

It sounds like he really cares about you and wants what is best, but you know your body better than anyone.It sounds to me, just from reading your post, you may be a little depressed.Are you on a anti-depressant?It made a world of difference for me.I went from wanting to cause my husband bodily harm to loving him again...but I still want to harm him some days too...LOL!

I don't think anyone can understand the trauma this illness does to a person unless you have it.Hang in there, and again, it's good to see you back in here

My husband says the same thing, "you've been different lately", again, duh. I was depressed also, doc put me on a low strength anti depressant. I feel better, but he is still being jerky

Why don't these men understand.....My husband STILL dosn't get it....it is really hard on a marriage...so true...being tired all the time...no sex drive...can't go out to eat much...you know...on and on...I have two doc apts this week....crazy stuff!

He's pretty supportive. Just pushy about going back to the Dr's.. I just wanna be left alone not poked and proded.. I actual have some energy back. Been able to go back to the gym. I guess my fear is if I start going back to the Dr's. That will be gone again. All the tests and preps make me so sick.. all the meds that might help but did nothing. But make me feel worse. I know my body enough to know if something is really wrong to high tail it to er..
