Thanks Elysium I am trying so hard to get him to go to the ER. He's in ALOT of pain. I told him to at least go and get someting for the pain (I know they'll check him out if he goes) but he won't listen. I even just had him read your reply and the wiki link. He has all of those early syptoms. I don't think he grasps how serious this actually is. In all of the Crohn's papers and booklets his gastro gave him it talks about this as a side affect of Crohn's and how serious it is to get treatment. But he will not listen to me. He said he just wants to sit in his chair and watch T.V. and relax. Honestley I don't see how he is relaxing. He looks like hell because the pain is making him pale and drawn looking. He can't eat everytime he does he hurts so bad he just rolls into a ball. And I bet in the past week he's lost 5 pounds. He's afraid they'll admit him again. And because of this last week in the hospital he does'nt have a paycheck coming so our electric is due to be turned off tomarrow. So he's got all that worry on top of this illness. It makes me worried and mad at him at the same time for neglecting himself like that. I told him I would call the ambulance if I have to but EMS is'nt required to take someone to the hospital if they are'nt suicidal or a harm to others. I guess I'll have to knock him out and take him there (j/k) but that's what it feels like it's going to take. I don't know what to do with him. He's being childish.
