2 Years and Lonley for understanding

[dawn27sp]

I was diagnosed 2 years ago with crohn's and since then I have also been diagnosed with Colits,IBS and Peptic ulcers. The last EDG I had showed that I had anywhere from 20 to 30 ulcers and the pain is somtimes to much and the Doctors seem to be at a loss on how to treat me. I think that they think I am crazy. But if they had to do it then i guess we could see who would end up on the crazy pills. I am really just looking for some help cooping and dealing with the pain and lonliness. I am glad I have found a forum and look forward to talking to alot of intersting people. By the way my name is Sarah and I am 24 with an I dentical twin who also has crohn's and I have 3 cats that with out them I am not sure that some days i would make it.

Ulcers

Thanks for responding, They really have no Idea what to do about the ulcers cause it is not responding to regular treatment. Right now I am on 120 mg of prtonix a day and 3 grams of Carafate and then a whole bunch of other stuff that may or may not help. My doctor does not want to go through a surgery with me right now and seems only to think that I am depressed and End of sto, I am so frustrated at the whole thing and cant seem to get answer or relief

Hello Dawn - welcome to the forum. It is a great place for support. Really sorry to hear about everything on your plate. So glad to hear you have great cats to keep you going - for me, it is my puppy, well, she's now 10, and she's my great de stressor. Hope you feel better soon!

I have a little poodle mix and she is my life saver some days! Once I broke out in hives and the only thing I could do not to scratch them was to pet her. She seems to know when I truly don't feel good and just cuddles with me on the couch till it goes away.
