I will try to keep this short-something I am not very good at.
I was diagnosed with Crohn's in 2008, 2 years after having my first child. I have tried to block out that time period in my life(like if you can't remember, it didn't happen). My baby was sick, I was sick, and I was getting a divorce. I moved across country so my child could get treatment. At that time, I was put on Humira and met the love of my life.
After I lost my insurance, I quit the Humira. Fast forward 4 years-last year I started getting sick again. I had always had minor flare ups but nothing I couldn't handle. This was different. I went to the dr almost 1 year ago today. Since that time, I have been diagnosed with seizures, a brain cyst, lung disease, Ehler's Danlos, and this week I go in for a mammogram and ultra sound after a CT scan found a lump on my breast and nodules in my thyroid. On Friday, I am scheduled to start Cimzia.
I have also had celiac for 10years and am an on again, off again vegan.
I have a tendency to run but am going to give it all a good fight. I have a supportive husband, and am still able to work. My child does not understand what is happening, but I am trying my best there as well.
I am looking forward to participating in a support group like this.
