A little about myself. I was diagnosed with CD three years ago. I am now going through testing to see if it is refractory sprue. Also hitting up the the rheumatologist in April to see what are my next steps in diagnosis a second. Dr thoughts are something like RA or lupus.

My first day off Prednisone. I caught a cold on it. Not surprising given it is an immunosuppressant and all. Had to take my inhaler last night before bed. This morning I have a clear sore throat and congestion.

Body aches are back. Writing this from bed as I get enough little movement in my body to be able to flip over. I know the month will go by fast but I can't wait until April 16th when my new rheumatologist can figure out what this is. My back aches, my feet and hands feel swollen. This feels very cathartic to be able to say what is wrong rather than hide it.

The pain from my flareup in my wrist is down. On Friday it felt like someone had crushed it, bones and everything. I couldn't move my fingers or my thumb. Today it just aches. Looking back I just don't know how I ever thought this level of pain was normal.
