I am extremely scared, frustrated and confused. I am new as I am sure some of you know. I am currently having a really bad flare. I went to my gp last Friday as I am waiting on a referral to a new gi. He put me on a low dose of prednisone and it's not helping very much, neither is the Vicodin he has me on. I am cramping so bad that I have spent the last two days in bed. I have to babysit tonight and I have an appt with my attorney Thursday to go over some paperwork for my custody case. I have left a message for my gp this morning, but he hasn't gotten back with me yet. I don't know what to do... I am getting worse and worse and can't afford to get much sicker as I won't be able to keep up with my responsibilities. Does anyone have any advice? I am trying to keep from having to go to the hospital.

I am on a clear liquid diet and have contacted WWW.ccfacommunity.org and they don't offer any hotlines and the nearest support group is over an hour away. Ugh... I don't know what to do.

No problem. You can always post your email in your profile and invite ppl to privately contact you by email.
Top left side of the screen is "My Profile". In there you can add your email.
Also, I've noticed facebook has some CCFA/CCFC groups or other crohn's groups.
Good luck!

I am sorry to hear that things aren't going so well.
Hopefully your doctor gets back to you soon! I think seeing a GI is your best bet to finding your best course of treatment.
Good luck!
