Full (sorta) disclosure: Desperate times call for desperate measures. My GI and I are desperate and pulling out all of the stops, including a medrol dosepak. • I'm thankful to have a concerned healthcare team, and when I was in ER on Monday, my GI knew it was bad. GI's words were "I'm praying for you." I'm not one that pushes any religion, but I knew he meant it and he's just as frustrated as I am, with my organs. • Next up? Medrol, antibiotics, fever reducers, expedited surgical consult, 24/7 fluids (otherwise inpatient), labwork, call/email GI tomorrow to see how my night went... I expect my message to him to consist of "I still can't believe I agreed to a medrol burst." 🤞#Stelara PLEASE kick in STAT!! . • #steroidssuck #WeNeedACure #IBD #Crohns #ulcerativecolitis #colitis #INDcolitis #ostomy #Doctorsappointment #surgery #hernias #jejunum #ventralhernia #strictures #autoimmunediseases #inflammatoryboweldisease #autoimmune #diseases
