Hopefully someone can help me out with this.
I've been flaring for 19 days. I was on 40 mg of Prednisone for the first 14, then my doctor bumped me up for 60 mg. Around day 15, I started getting this pain right in the middle of my abdomen. It comes out of nowhere, and it feels like I have a red hot iron poker being shoved into my abs. Then I can feel the muscles/intestines start to spasm, and after a few minutes of that I have a BM that feels like anything that was in my tract has now left. This will happen a few times and then the burning/stinging feeling starts to fade.
I haven't been able to pinpoint down anything specific thing that I do right before hand that would trigger it. It also happens at any point day or night. It usually leaves me feeling totally weak, sweating, and shaking.
Any suggestions as to what it could be?
