Hi,
I am new to this forum so am a bit anxious about what to write!!
Since last August I was very lethargic, no energy etc. My GP put me through various blood tests and scans for months before I was referred to a haemotology department in fear I had lymphoma. Luckily this was not the case but after a colonoscopy it was discovered I had Crohn's. I only got this diagnosis at the beginning of March and 3 weeks later I ended up in hospital with a flare up! I was in for 6 days. I found it very odd having a flare up so soon after being diagnosed. I am only 21 and am finding the diagnosis very difficult as I feel like it's already controlling my life. Any advice on coming to terms with the disease would be appreciated.
