When you’re years into a Crohn’s flare and blitzed by medication, any improvement is good news. As you saw in Let’s Play a Game, sometimes the side effects of medicines are as nasty as the original symptoms of the disease. This is how I spent October 2016 and it was wearing me down. The high doses of prednisone and cyclosporine were taking their toll on me and I was seriously beginning to wonder how much more I could take. However, progress is still progress. It’s important to focus on the wins when you have them.
That said, of course this is tongue in cheek. I was happy the bleeding stopped, but dang. Between the constant shaking, fatigue, vomiting, and diarrhea, I didn’t feel like I would ever recover. Such is life with Crohn’s.
