Hi all,
I'm Alex and I was first diagnosed with Crohns when I was 15yrs of age. Now 36 it's been a major part of my life, some good, some bad.
I had a ressection about 12 yrs ago which has improved my standard of life considerably but it didn't solve the problem as the inflammation did come back.
Currently on:
Azathioprine
Pentasa (Mesalazine)
Ferrous Sulphate
B12 injections
Have my good days and bad days, side effects present in everyday life for me are:
Can't taste my food properly (possibly down to the medication)
Bad temper, short fuse (sometimes)
I generally live a fairly normal life, diet is good, not too many trips to the WC, but it could be better.
I decided to join this forum to gain further knowledge and see what others are experiencing. Hope to be able to provide others with experiences I've had over the last couple of decades.
