#crohns A Writer's Life Interrupted #ibd

New medication is mesolomine. I am very sensitive to aspirin so I was worried about taking the new med. So far, so good. My last attempt at this drug I ended up with severe bleeding but this time it might be different. My doc was a irritated I questioned the use of it, and I get that he's busy and doesn't have time for my questions. Still, it's my body.

​ I am very tired of all this. My hands are no better, my tummy hurts, and working is difficult. I am sick of all the issues. Last week I had to attend a seminar where you had to climb four sets of stairs. I did it but was exhausted and had to sit by the door just in case, which was four times. Then there was the food. Fruit--good--nothing else doable. I drank water and coffee.

I see the dermatologist the first week of May. My gastro doc thinks the skin issues are related to Crohn's and will defer to the derms recommendation. I dunno. I really have no clue, but I am happy to put this behind me. Crohn's, I have discovered, attacks where it wills. Sometimes the mouth, sometimes the stomch, sometimes the intestines, and right now the skin.
