I was diagnosed with POSSIBLE crohns disease 4 years ago. After an intruding xray and 2 colonoscopys, treated with steroids and sulfasalazine, with no relief but perseverence and a build up of immunity to pain. After being told the side effects of these drugs, I decided much needed research was needed after the 10 minute consultation explanation. Today I was told I was going to be treated with having Croh'ns with a prescription of Azathioprine (which is totally freaking me out after my small amount of research on the drug) and booked in for an MRI to see if there is any extensive damage needing treatment.
My point to this post is that almost everybody after my 4 years of research, has a different story, with different symptoms and treatments. and I am still completly confused.
I have been able to relate to some symptoms, and others not at all. One person may have 2 symptoms that I share, and 4 others that I do not. Another person, no symptoms that I share at all. Another person 4 symptoms shared and 2 others not. CONFUSION CENTRAL. Different sites also have different opinions of different drugs.
Hoping that posting on a live forum with peoples with the disease may be able to help with understanding it clearer.
