Changing symptoms and increase in pain/nausea, anyone else's symtoms seem to be 'evolving'?

Hi guys,   I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed a definite ‘change’ in their symptoms since diagnosis. When I was first diagnosed 2 years ago, my symptoms were severe and constant watery diahorrea, weight loss, dehydration and occasional night sweats. Luckily, I didn’t experience much pain, the pain I did experience happened before my bowels worked. I would get a feeling of intense nausea and then have to run to the loo.   Now, two years on, my symptoms are very changed. The diahorrea is less in quantity, but I get regular pus and sometimes blood. But the main change is the pain. Whereas I used to have relatively little, now pain is my worst and most dreaded, debilitating symptom. It is a weird feeling, half nausea I'm-going-to-throw-up feeling, which sometimes makes me wish I did throw up to relieve the feeling, and half an intense burning feeling in my stomach, it often hurts even just to touch my tummy on the outside when the pain/nausea is really intense.   This pain/nausea combination is so intense that I find it difficult to talk when it happens and I often feel like I can’t move, if I happen to be in a shopping centre or out in the public somewhere. It is a scary feeling and very painful/nauseating, I just wonder why the symptoms would have changed like that? Has anyone else had this happen to them? Maybe the crohn’s has moved? It’s a mystery to me!   Hope you’re all well!   P        

My flares used to be shorter and simpler with obstructions, 5 days in hospital and would clear up, no problem. Now I get pain and it goes on and on and I can't eat, sleep or function. I end up flat on my back for 10days or more in the hospital with around the clock pain meds, complete bowel rest, iv meds etc. I was told that I have an unsual pattern of Crohns disease recently whatever that means. A nurse told me in the hospital during my latest stay that Crohn's manifests itself in different ways in people. The abdominal pain is the worst for me too. I also take Nexium in the morning and that definitely helps with the nausea.

Thanks for the advice guys, I wonder if Nexium is available in Australia? I haven’t heard of it over here but then again none of my friends or family would need to take it.

Perhaps I should ask the pharmacist for some anti-nausea medication? And the acid reducer sounds like a great idea too! These two ‘helpers’ would really be a blessing if they alleviated the symptoms.
I am working on getting my iron back up to help cope with the extreme fatigue because I find it very debilitating. One thing at a time I suppose. But I have been taking iron supplements for two years and still no change. Very frustrating.

It is comforting in a way to know that I am not alone in this pain/nausea cycle. It is very strange that the disease has changed in this way. My first major flare that landed me in hospital was very different, with less pain, more fever, bed rest, steroids, fluids and meds… this type of Crohn’s I think is more unpredictable and I don’t ‘trust it’ if you know what I mean … because it’s new and foreign to me at the moment. My own body is such a mystery to me!
