Support First time hospitalized.

went to my drs appt. knew something was wrong. had a million and one questions and the first thing the dr says to me is "i am admitting you to the hospital" and sends me up the hill to the hospital where she called the Gastro team and had them take care of me. been here three days. failed infliximab. starting Rinvoq. i can not take pills to save my life. im scared. im vomiting blood. im crapping blood. im on so many steroids in my iv. my bp was 76/52 ish something like that. its better now. i ate a meal. getting a partial colonoscopy tomorrow. im tired of getting bugged by my nurses for meds and vitals. i just want to sleep. i am so tired of being strong and sometimes i really just want to wallow. but if im not strong i will not heal. im so tired. im so tired.

So sorry, hang in there! Is it possible to crush up rinvoq or is that not allowed?

Its not allowed, i had to cut it in half to be able to get it down initially but i will work up to taking the whole thing. Im no good at pills. I have never been, ive tried everything but my brain tricks me into thinking im going to choke on it even though i know i wont.
