Flare Up & 6th Stem Cell Birthday

I have been having a bad flare with diarrhea like 15 times a day. It has been going on a few months but Sunday I saw blood so I knew I needed to make an appointment.

I'm being tested for c diff. Ugh, it's been 6 years since I have had c diff and I so hope this isn't it. It isn't the type of thing you look forward to.

My blood work shows elevated inflammation markers and low hemoglobin.

On that note, today is my re-birthday! 6 years ago today was day 0 and I received my sister's stem cells and started my healing journey! I have had my ups and downs but I'm not dying anymore so yay! Lol

I'll keep you posted on my lab results!

Crohn's VS Me

I feel like this flare up is beating me and I refuse to let it win. I'm in a difficult position.  My fiance has court in the morning,  2 hrs away. Crohnies know how bad that is. For those of you who don't,  long drives with long distances between bathrooms are the most dreaded tasks. He supports me and my illness so much, even when it inconveniences him and I am always there for him. He wants me there so bad for support and I want to be there. But my Crohn's wants something else. I don't know what to do. I dont want the crohns to win. Its not fair. Im going to do my best to go with him. I cant let gim down, hes not sick, why should he have to suffer the consequences of MY disease??? I dont even care about myself and how im feeling. I only care about being there for him. So im sending a message to my crohns. ...BEHAVE! YOU WON'T WIN THIS ONE!!!

Please say a prayer tonight that it calms down enough for one day, just one day!!
