I had some blood in my colon once (probably one of these diseases said my GP, but I never went to the specialist) and it was some of the worst pain I've ever felt. Ugh, I was a wreck that night.

Yeah, the pain (when it gets bad) is absolutely awful. The last time I was in the hospital the nurses had to keep me nice and tanked on fentanyl the whole time.

Since someone talked about this earlier: the blood really isn't the issue, it's the cramps, and the meds. I'm taking two different steroids right now, each of which have typically been enough to get rid of my symptoms in five to seven days. I've been on them for two weeks now, and I just got the dosage upped to the max on prednisone. I'm still pretty functional, but this can't go on forever.
