We ended up in emergency last night. I've got Crohn's Disease, and last night was in so much pain that we took a trip to the hospital. (Crohn's is basically your antibodies attacking healthy tissue in your dgestive track [often the intestines], which can result in pain, inflammation, ulcer's, thinning of the intestinal walls and sometimes leads to an operation to take out the inflamed section. I've had 2 of these op's)
Anywho, they still don't really know why the pain was so intense. They gave me morphine which of course made me feel fine and the pain a distant memory. It's amazing the length's I'll go to for a hit, now that I'm detoxing, hey? ;o)
They think I might have an ulcer in my stomach (you can get Crohn's anywhere in the digestive track, from the mouth right through) but they're not really sure. They gave me 3 different meds and after a few hours said I could stay overnight or go home - so home it was.
It's so frustrating having these flare up's, and they do interfere with my plan to get fit and healthy - I'm exhausted today, but I'm still going to at least do a Wii Fit workout, nothing super strenuous but enough to keep me on track!
