yesterday was...

apparently yesterday was national crohn's and colitis awareness day. I was not aware of it...so I guess mission failed?

I am still not doing so well. We finally got hold of my GI Doctor who told me to start taking the prednisone at 30mg a day for seven days, then 20mg a day until I run out of pills.

I'm thinking about starting a family again and I hate feeling this pressure on me to do it when I get well. Can't I just enjoy life first? Ah, but..then you'll get sick again and they'll do surgery to remove your colon then you'll be infertile.

Yeah...there is that.

STILL no pred....

After four messages left with my GI Doc and one page sent directly to him while he was at home I am getting really pissed off. Is it so hard to just call quickly to say 'take 70 mg the first week then decrease by 10 mg', no it is not that fucking hard. Now I am feeling really crappy (the worst I have done for a while). I started a new book in the bathroom on Friday and I'm already half way through it, that's how often I've been in there. There's also the pain and the wonderful urgent 'get to the bathroom RIGHT NOW' feeling that I haven't had for so long. Frankly, I didn't miss it.

And I don't know what to do.

Still no pred...

I'm getting a little pissed off at my GI doc, I left him a message on monday telling him that he didn't tell me how to take the prednisone and the helpful directions from the chemist are to 'take as directed'. Gee, that's great, he didn't tell me how to take it...so shall I make up my own dosage? How about everything all at once..that should sate my angry colon.

I still need a name for it, Brian suggested Colin but I have too many fond associations of that name thanks to Colin Baker and his loveliness.

Waiting for a call isn't going to do any good so I will have to call again. I'm shaking my fist at you, world!
