Hi,
I was diagnosed with Crohn's at the end of 2016. I had surgery, small bowel resection in March. It happened fast. I have had horrible stomach pain since 2010. Part of my tests included the Pillcam. IT GOT STUCK! For three months it was in me until surgery. That was justice to me that I now had a real problem. Doctor informed me that my Crohn's is not typical. It is mostly ulcers in the small intestine. Which led me to have have severe anemia. I had two blood transfusions in November. Went on Prednisone for about 6 months. What a horrible experience. Loads of side effects. Now I am on Imuran. 100mg. I feel weird and always have a runny nose. (I teach Elementary school) Feels like I can not get my health back. Thats where I am at now.
Thank you for reading,
Michael
