I was just there this week with the worst pain of my life, and the doc basically said the same things in this thread.
Fever over 101, vomiting and bleeding, D, abdominal distention and the like.
I wasn't admitted luckily, it was just a really bad flare. Checked me out and everything was fine, I was just very inflamed and my ulcers weren't happy that day. Hoping to never be in that kind of pain again.
I told him that I was knew to this and still didn't know at what point I should go in but I figured it probably was for the best to come anyway because I had never experienced such horrible pain in the previous visits before my diagnosis.
What a dumb disease.
