I was back in the hospital last weekend due to a hormonal flare that caused a complete blockage in my gut. My good friend rushed me on Thurs. to the ER where it was confirmed via an MRI w/contrast.
If it wasn’t for the prayers of family/friends, I would’ve had STAT surgery. Luckily the NG tube blew the narrowing wide open so I could go home Sat. afternoon.
Anyway, I’ve been charting w/NFP & have noticed that as soon as I’m done ovulating my crohn’s flares up and the pain starts. Then the nausea/vomiting occur usually for 1 day for a few hours but this last time, it was really bad. Nobody seems to have an answer for me on how to deal w/ it other than hormone treatment. Since as I have a blood clotting disorder, that is out of the question. Surgery is for emergencies only seeing as I have too much scar tissue.
The surgeon told me that the next time I block, he will have to do major surgery to clean out the scarring and will call in my Gyn to have a look to make sure there are no other female problems.
I am at a loss on how to deal w/this. I can’t tolerate the pain & I feel so alone when I get like that. I am tired of doctors and surgeries. My body is still recovering from last month’s surgery.
Please pray for me that some how the doctors can find an answer that won’t include surgery and that the flare ups won’t be as painful.
Thank you.
