So I have a family history of crohns. Not a massive one or a close one but two people in my family have it. This year I've also been very very ill, having to miss 5 weeks in total off work and make 4 separate hospital visits. I have tummy pains most days, which I can only describe as similar to period cramps, however sometimes it's like someone's in their with a scouring pad. It wakes me up in the night it's that bad. My temperature won't regulate itself, I either become freezing or boiling, boiling hot especially some nights. I can sweat a lot too. I will have diarrhoea about 5 times a day, however if Im in that much pain I need codeine it seems to lessen it. Not that the codeine helps the pain much. There's also been 4 separate occasions that there has been bleeding, 3 of them warranting a hospital visit. I also get some mouth ulcers, I constantly have one somewhere in my mouth, and my elbows knees wrists ankles hands and toes are prone to becoming quite painful. I've also lost two stone in weight this year, and I'm now completely unable to eat gluten or dairy products, along with anything sugary or fatty. However when my blood tests were taken they came back normal except for dehydration(which is now a daily battle I seem to keep losing). I've been refered to a specialist, however everyone seems to think it is Crohn's disease. But nothing in my blood tests indicate this? I am so confused !
