It's one thing to have bowel movements all day long and even during the night, but it is even worse to have to pray to be able to survive the pain and be able to get through it.  On top of all this I am having migraines.  Just finished having one and another one popped up last night.  It really makes for a miserable existence.  I am barely eating and the little food I do eat goes right through me.  I really feel crummy!

What a hard week I had.  My crohn's was relentless, lupus flaring so my joints ached and I was constantly broken out with a rash.  I had a migraine that lasted for days and between all three of these things I felt completely done in.  Of course it

Yesterday afternoon a migraine kicked in.  Nausea, head pain and just plain sickness.  The migraine medication makes me even feel sicker.  Up most of the night with Crohn's and pain and then the migraine even though treated came back this morning.  It's literally like having the flu.  Such is the life of someone with multiple Diseases.

My daughter called last night and I had just taken a pain pill and it was kicking in.  I was able to have a nice phone call with her.  Many times during phone conversations my bowels start kicking in and I have to end the call abruptly.  Same if I try to go out somewhere and get in line at a store, then the panic sets in.  People don't understand what we really have to deal with.  This disease has a terrible timing in our lives and it's stressful to be out and  and about and all you can think about is, am I going to make it.  So much so that I really prefer staying home and I'm sure many of you do to.

The people that stand by your side during a chronic illness like Crohn's Disease are quality individuals.  There aren't that many either.  Just a few people who are always there for you and always thinking about you and how you are feeling.  It says a lot about an individuals character and the love they actually have for you.  Most tire of hearing about you not feeling good all the time and would rather just not be involved or hear it.  Of if they do hear it, they feel like it's too depressing or too much to deal with.  My own circle has gotten pretty small.  In the end you know who really cares and who is just there because they feel like it's an obligation.  The obligated ones wither and the ones who care continue to care for the right reasons.

Today is the type of day where I have been in out of bed.  It hurts to stand, sit, walk or move.  Sitting in my robe, the middle of the day.  Can't eat, it just literally hurts too much.  This isn't abnormal for me, that's the sad part.  This is how my days are and have been and probably will continue to be.  Such is the life of someone with Crohn's Disease.

I awoke feeling wasted and the theme continued throughout the day.  In and out of bed, tried to take the dog out and ended up coming back in. Just feel completely horrible and wasted.  This is getting old, but there isn't much I can do about it.  Just keep going and crawl into bed every half hour or so and get up for another half hour or so.  I am not getting much done and couldn't even leave to ride with my husband on an errand.  Pain, diahrea, stiff joints and fatigue are just overwhelming.  It's like having the flu every dam day.
