So my name is Abby and im 19. I've had crohns for almost 7 years now and I've been in a pretty bad flare for awhile now. I just switched medicines from remicade to Entyvio and I'm on azathioprine also. I went to an obgyn because I found lumps on my armpits and one was causing me pain down my arm. Well she said it was a skin disease called hidradenitis suppurativa. It causes abscesses in areas where skin rubs together and it's lifelong and incurable, but treatable, like my crohns. I wanted to get a second opinion so I went to a dermatologist, she said it was HS also. I'm just kind of done with being in pain all the time now. I'm taking up to 9 pills every night because of antibiotics and pain meds and azathioprine. I'm getting tired of taking pills too. I'm going to college soon and I don't want all of this to hinder my experience but I'm scared it will, it already hinders me at home. It's just all taking it's toll on me, and I could use some support and prayer/ good thoughts.
