Going away for a bit :-(

[Urban Saboteur]

Hey dudes.
If some of you are my friends on facebook you might of read that i'm none to well at the moment. My crohns illness had returned to attack me about 2 weeks ago. :(
I've been coping relatively well up until about 4 days ago, its really knocked me for six and i've struggled the last 24 hours.

I've got a specialist to see on Wednesday, but i really wont be around much this wk/end or next week at all. Most of my time will be spent resting up in bed and reading or watching television.

I'm hoping the specialist will be able to give me something to bring the illness into remission so that i can carry on with my life, i'd had a good run of two years possibly more without an attack until recently.

I hope to see some fantastic pictures and catch up in about a week or so's time.
Have fun everyone and remember to stick together :cool:

Best wishes to you all

Definately keeping you in prayers. I recently found out that all those specialists really take a lot out of a person with all their tests and waiting around for the results.

Hey Guys,
Many thanks for these well wishes. I've popped on for 15-20 minutes to upload part 2 of my Outrider dio. I've had some free time today and done the editing i needed to do with it.

As for the update on my crohns, the specialist actually moved my appointment forward. It was initially set for September :eek: (I wouldnt of lasted that long before being admitted to hospital directly)

I'm surviving.. my appointment is on Wednesday, where hopefully he will give me azathioprine or corticosteriods to bring the illness under control and send it into remission. It will probably take about 2-3 days.. at a guess before i'm back to operating 100% so i should be up to date and good to go again at wk/end.

I havent been on msn or facebook or anything as i've been too zonked. as it stands i cant hold any solid or liquid food at all and as a result my body is getting 0 nutrients.. I'm eating about 10-15 meals a day just to stay awake and sometimes even thats enough.
My body is aching and my stomach is hurting but as long as i dont have any nasty turns or suprises between now and wednesday and i rest up i should be ok.

Final mention to you again for the well wishes, thank you so much as well to those who posted on my facebook wall and on this thread. :)
