help please

hi there everyone,i'm new to this forum although i do read up on things here but this is my first post.

I was diagnosed with cd 17yrs ago and generally i've been ok,i suffer with cronic d and i've only had one op that was at 17.

As i've got older i've noticed its getting worse,and recently i've been having some probs.

I've been having alot of hems recently really painfull ones that wont go away,and this last week i have been getting more cramps,feeling sick,loss of appitite and generally feeling knackerd and very down with the constant pain in the bottom area.

I have an appointment at the hospital in two weeks as the hems are pretty much destroying my life and wanna see if anything can be done,but  as i've been reading about flare ups i'm wondering if i may be going through one although i know everone has different symptoms??

I do have pentasa to take but i've never took it prop as i feel it doesn't help really?

any thoughts people would help

thanks

i've never had a pill cam and haven't had any proper checks for years.

I did have my bloods done about 3 months ago and they were fine.

Should i request something?

thank you.

i went to an emergency docs this morning as they got bigger over night and i was given scheriproct cream and suppositries and some remedene pain killers which are pretty good but can make you costipated which i dont want.

has anyone got any other medication they might suggest thats better??

I also want to add that you really need to make sure those are hemi's and not skin tags that many Crohnies have. You don't want surgery on skin tags that are inflamed as that can make things worse. And you definetly need to be on maintainence meds at all times. I take the sister med to Pentasa called Asacol. Alot of people think these meds aren't doing anything and quit taking them, and then end up flaring within time. If you don't think the Pentasa was working you might ask about either 6mp or Imuran. Many on this forum have had success with these meds for many years. But you should be on meds all the time as you need to remember that Crohns is a chronic and incurable bowel disease. Hugs!

It sounds like you have an obstruction or something going on.....when i was hurting on the right side, thats what I had....I had all the same symptoms..hope you feel better soon....
