Finally have my colonoscopy this week after waiting for more than a month. While part of me wants to have answers, there is another part of me that is worried how I will process/accept if the procedure does show that I have Crohn's disease.
Know it is not helpful or productive to worry about what may be but I currently live alone and concerned how I will care for my dogs, hold down my job, and maintain my house if I have a major, extended flare. My dogs are my sanity and can't imagine not being able to care for them properly.
Current symptoms:
*Mild pain/cramping in LRQ
*Sporadic back pain
*Soft, but generally formed, stools anywhere from 1-9 times a day
*Occasional mucus
*Occasional blood on stools
*Fatigue
*Increased urine output and urgency
*Weakness and pain in knees
*Had lost 15 pounds but have gained back around 4
*Bloodshot eyes
*Rectal pressure and occasional pain
Guess I just have to wait this out and see what the results say and go from there.
