Sneeze on me!

Well i guess since someone shared my blog recently, I need to make a new post ;)

A couple days ago, I went to my doctor for a three week check up with my new medication.  It has been interesting. Things have been up and down. Ive had bleeding, some diarrhea, some blood. I thought I was doing really well...and then last week i had tacos.

I usually buy very lean ground beef. But i splurged and bought 80%.

NEVER AGAIN

I thought i was dying. For two days. My insides were liquid. It hurt to move. It hurt to breathe. Damn you, tacos!! So not worth it.

I talked with my doctor about my suspicions, my immune system being a rock star. His response?

"You never get sick? Really? Well, that definitely could be our issue here."

HA! I'm smarter than I look. I haven't been sick in probably three years. Almost the same amount of time my Crohn's issues have escalated...hmmm. He said that in fact, my immune system could be so powerful, that it has noting better to do than attack me. Apparently Imuran peaks at 6-8 weeks, and I'm at week four. So i have a little ways to go.

My next mission? Get sick! Gona go lick some machines at the gym. Ha, just kidding. But maybe i'll stop excessively using hand sanitizer and washing my hands. I guess I'm taking a risk of getting really sick. Like pneumonia sick. But wouldn't it be amazing...if i get a cold, and my symptoms calm down..or...*gasp* cease?? This is a risk i'm willing to take.

If you need to find me, I"ll be at the mall, inhaling people's sneezes.
