Flare due to anxiety? re dental appt in am.,phobia..HELP

[Camie]

I have been doing quite well on the Endocort for the last two months........ slowly weaning. Well the past few days...........I feel like I am back to square one. My bowels are crazy. :(


I have a dental appt in the am. It is not a big deal. Cleaning and such. I have requested that they give me heavy IV sedation for this procedure. It's a phobia, I know that. another post

Their are so many additional stresses in my life at the moment............I can't take one more thing! Not even having my teeth cleaned!


And OMG I having fears .............
What if i have a bowel accident while under IV sedation . I had one actual meal today...............the rest just fluids..............keeping my stomach as empty as possible.

Anyone think the set back is related to stress.


Now I am taking pepto.. .. just in case
.


Friends out there..................send help!

If you were doing well with the Endocort and you are under stress, why taper off now? Stress is definitely related to mc. You might try Immodium if the Pepto isn't adequate.

Hi Camie. I just read something Tex wrote about stress and how taking an antihistamine could help you- at least get you through this stressful time. If you want a better explaination of why this works, look on the main message board and go to the recent question asked about vitamin D.
Hope your flare settles down very soon
