When will this Crohn’s flare end?
My Crohn’s disease will just not settle down. My abdomen never feels good – at least not in the last three years or so, but I generally don’t have a really really bad spell that lasts two or three weeks continuously, which is exactly what’s happening to me now.
I’ve got more fevers each day than usual – high fevers too, plus abdominal cramps, pain in my right side and well lets just say that there’s little chance that I’d need to use a colon cleanse now or likely any time in the near future thanks to one of this terrible diseases nasty symptoms.
I wonder if the change in the weather has anything to do with my Crohn’s symptoms worsening? I always seem to have worse Crohn’s flares in the Autumn and Spring, but they can occur any time of year, it’s just the fall and spring flares seem to be worse.
Does anyone else with Crohn’s or another Autoimmune disease feel worse at a particular time of year, every year?
Hi, I have Crohn’s, also, and used to get sick every spring and fall. I tried telling docs that but they just looked at me strangely. Now I pretty much have all the symptoms you mentioned all the time but no longer get terribly sick with seasonal change. Here is my theory: Our immune system changes with the seasons, therefore our Crohn’s could get stirred up. Don’t know if that is the deal or not but it’s my theory!
