Closer appointment to see consultant GI

Well, it seems that my appointment for 30th April has been supersceded, thank goodness.  Got an appointment today for March 5th. That's just 6 days time. Phew! The appointment has been made a hospital that I've never been to before.  I'm not sure where it is, but I think it's a couple of hours drive away. I guess it's a small hospital that my GI consultant holds a clinic at.  I don't care if it's a big or a small place really, as long as a get a chance to speak to a specialist.  I'm certainly getting rather fed up with not knowing where I am with my flare.

I am taking my Pentasa three times a day.  At times I feel quite well, but then quite suddenly, and I haven't quite worked out the triggerfor it, I get horrendous bloating, followed by spasms of pain the following day.  Today is one of those days.  I felt fine yesterday, but this evening, I am really uncomfortable and I just know that tomorrow, the pain is going to come.

It will be interesting to see wha the consultant says.  These symptoms are not what I experienced when I was first diagnosed with Crohn's.  I would quite like some further investigations to see where the inflammation is and its extent.
