*Showing ultrasound pics in my twenties means I’m pregnant? Nope.* Here’s the real story
*Showing ultrasound pics in my twenties means I’m pregnant? Nope.* Here’s the real story: I had a tough stomach pain out of the sudden a few weeks back which left me unable to stand straight. “Maybe I’m getting heavy period pains the first time in my life.” I thought. But they didn’t disappear like I wished they would. On top of this I started to vomit and my bathroom frequency went up significantly. I went to my GI “Better safe than sorry!” I told myself expecting the whole thing to be nothing. Maybe a stomach bug. Maybe even less. I was chatting with my GI when he noticed that I seemed to have an obstruction. After more than one year of remission in a state of “perfect health” it hit me again. I knew that this could happen every moment out of the sudden. In fact I had experienced most of my flare ups unexpectedly. But it still felt unreal. He put me on entocort first, but since it didn’t work like we wished it would and the obstruction seemed to be somewhere in the middle of my small intestine he switched it to that good old prednisone a few days later. Now I’m able to eat again. And that feels quite good. I started Imuran again, too. I’ll do everything in my own power to make this flare up as short as possible. -- source link
