I was diagnosed with crohns back in 2012, I went for months
Suffering with very bad abdominal pain, diarrioah, and lost a lot of weight. Honestly though I was not living a very healthy lifestyle . I was living alone, working in a bar ful time, and a bit of a party animal. I liked the weight loss symptom because I always had a bit of weight on me in the past . I was 22 at the time and single. So long story short, ended up wer I got to a stage wer I became anaemic , suffered with joint pain then went the doc and she told me she thought it was IBD. Never heard if it in me life!! Took a while for my proper diagnosis , was put on a course of steriods and pentasa and my flare soon cleared up. I took the meds for a while then stopped when I felt better. I was finding it difficult paying for the meds every month & to be honest didn't realise how serious crohns actually is. Lied to Friemds and family bout going to hospital appointments n taking me tabs. Two years on got another flare and now my condition is moderate takkmg imuran and pentasa . So ye that's me.
