I just got out of the hospital yesterday. I spent 3 nights because of a flare, and what was probably a stomach virus that my body apparently couldn't handle. I could have sworn I had food poisoning on top of the beginning of a flare, but I guess not. My white blood cell count was up. They started me on Entocort while I was there. I feel jittery, confused and scared. Each night (I think since I started it) I have an episode where I feel like I can't breath. I feel almost like my throat and airways are swollen or closing up. It's terrifying. On top of that I feel incredibly confused and scared. The first time it happened the nurse was rude and not helpful at all. She treated me horribly and then dismissed it as a panic attack. I have never experienced anything like this in my life. I admit, I have had a horrible month, with a great deal of stress due to a death in my immediate family. I am not convinced this was a panic attack though. Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this? I feel like each day is worse. I'm not taking it today.
