Is it coming back?

by Liz
(Yorkshire)

I was diagnosed with Crohns about 12 years ago. In the first 6 months I had two severe flare ups, which resulted being in hospital for over a week each time. I have since been ok with only really mild flare ups. However for the past week or so I keep getting mild contraction type cramps and needing the loo imediately after. I am only 8 stone as it is (5ft 6inc) and am now down to 7st 10lbs. Does anyone think this could be the sign of a replapse?

 Relapse
by: Brenda

That sounds exactly like me. I was diagnosed 15 years ago and then pretty much had no major problems since then. Minor flare ups and would just stop eating until they pass. Then in September I would get those contractions higher up and vomiting. It would last about 24 hours so I thought it was the flu. I should have know after the sixth time it happened. Finally last month I ended up in the ER and it was a bowel obstruction. You're the first person that described those pains as contractions. Thats how I would speak of it and the docs looked at me like I was nuts. Feel free to email me...
