I have severe crohns disease. For the last 3 weeks, I have been in severe pain, had diarrhea 4-5 times a day, I can barely eat. I actually have to force myself to eat.I have lost 30 pounds in the last 3 weeks. I bought a bunch of ensure drinks, so I can at least continue to get vitamins. I'm in a new city so don't have a Dr yet, the only meds I'm on is suboxone for my pain management. I haven't been able to leave my house except for very short distances, I'm weak and tired all the time. I have considered going to the er, I just don't want to sit there for 4 hours just to be given prednisone and sent on my way!!! I refuse to take that crap anyway, I have more issues thanks to that drug than I started out with! Anyway, should I go to the er anyway or try to make an appointment with a Dr. I'm kinda hoping this will just resolve itself, but I doubt it!
