Why wear a ribbon?

"I wear this ribbon because I amstricken with crohn's disease" (ncroll)

MDJunction to me

"As someone with Bipolar II, it is not easy finding people who understand. Here at MD Junction, EVERYONE understands. What an incredible feeling it is knowing that I don't have to deal with this disorder alone. MD Junction is the best resource I have found on the internet as support for just about any mental or physical condition." (Colleenj)

Cathryn, I am sorry you are in so much pain. Maybe you are having an allergic reaction to the cortisone. I would call the dr.

oh honey, dont give up!!! I am in a flair right now too and it is really bad, but God is with us and everything will get better soon. I know that it is hard, but this will only make you stronger and more compassionate to those around you.

I dont know you yet, because I have been M.I.A. for the last couple of weeks but I feel that you are a strong person and you can get through this. I just want to find you and give you a great big hug. It WILL get better!!!

You are in my prayers and I want you to pm me any time.

Much love!

a day without laughter is a day wasted.

First of all, either call your dr or your pharmacist if the dr isn't available. The pharmacy that I go to is very helpful and sometimes gives me suggestions on how to handle things with my meds - like how urgent I need to be in calling the dr.

On another note, have you noticed how you are breathing? Are you breathing from your chest or diaphram? I know that when I am in a flare, I tend to breathe more from my chest which tenses muscles. If you try to keep your breathing at a slower pace, it will help you relax which will be better for you in the flare.

I know that the flare is no fun and that you want it to go away. It will, it will just take some time. I wish I could wave my magic wand and make it disappear for you. Have you tried distraction? A movie - comedy? Do you have a friend that could come over and help you out? ~ Just a few thoughts for you.

Cry and vent here all you want. We are here for you. In fact, if I could, I would come over and let you cry on my shoulder (the good one, that is). Please know that we are here for you and will do what we can to support you.

Sending you loving hugs to help ease the pain...

I'm sending some love, too! Just hearing you talk about "the bad place" takes me right back there and I feel so sorry that you are going through this. Please know you aren't alone and you WILL get through this! No one expects you to do it with a smile on your face either, so I'll be browing around here for any future whining, wallowing, screaming, etc, you feel inclined to do!

Cathryn hang in there. I know it seems like you wont get through this but you will, honey. Just try to lay down and relax, put on some soothing music, darken your room, take something to calm down, put a warm towel over your forehead, and use a heating blanket. Or take a warm bath with epsom salts. I will be thinking of you

Cathryn...

Keep your chin up girl and go ahead and get those tears out! We're here for you! PM me if you would like...I'll be here for most of the day. I think the full moon really does have something to do with our pain!! It's tomorrow night and soo many of us are feeling just like you. Just try to keep telling yourself that you're gonna be okay...because YOU ARE!!!

If you wanna cry...then DO IT. If you wanna sleep...then DO IT. Do what you feel like you need to in order to try to make yourself feel better. And, please know...you are NOT alone! I'm not in the best shape today myself...so pm me...we'll talk!
