Throbbing in my core

Hi Mikebey, sorry you are feeling unwell. Do you have low blood pressure? This can happen if you are dehydrated or anemic.best is to get checked out by a Doc and make sure you don't have a flare coming on.

my last flare I did not have any GI symptoms at all but suddenly had pain and a partial obstruction. I have had that sensation in my midsection that always goes along with flares, but usually more of a sinking sensation or weakness. definitely give your GI a call.

By flare I mean active inflammation. The symptoms will vary widely from person to person partly influenced by where the inflammation is located but it can be any thing from no symptoms to GI symptoms, nausea weight loss fever etc. the problem is either way symptoms or not if you have inflammation, damage is being done. It is unfortunately scary since last time I thought I was doing really well, totally regular and healthy BMs but the inflammation was higher up in my small bowel and quietly doing damage so I only found out when I ended up with the blockage. The symptoms you are having may be an indication of a flare for you. It's a tricky disease in that you have to be a bit over reactive and keep track of all pains

Also, the fact that you are not on any maintance medication is very concerning and is leaving you very open to a reoccurrence. (Nobody wants to be on meds but it's unfortunately needed in most if not all cases)
