How is it that my body seems to be getting older than my age? I'm breaking down ack! First off, we've got the crohn's. Now my hip ligament is killing me and it seems to only swell up goose egg size (as seen under the skin) which only happens during Aunt Flo's visit. Then this week, because of the ligament, I was taking laundry to the laundry room and limping, so then I ended up kicking the the island and breaking the pinkie toe. Fabulous. What's next?

There are other things that have happened because of recent events but it's way too humiliating to write down. So now I'm in the process of trying to reanalyze the way I work my schedule and find something that works for me and 100% reliable.

I'm not sure if the new meds are working? It takes about an hour to kick in. I could probably take a nap while on them if I tried. The one side effect I have definitely seen, it takes away all sense of hunger. I have not felt hungry once in the last 4 days. I just eat because I know I should. When the meds first kick in though, I can't eat at all because the thought alone grosses me out. My stomach also doesn't growl if I have forgotten to eat all day, as what happened the first day. So I'll just have to pay attention and at least eat small amounts to make sure I'm eating what I'm supposed. It's crazy, all this time I've wanted something to help make the hunger go away, now that I have it, I'll have to readjust and remember.
