Hi all...I'm not really sure where to start but here is a brief summary of what I have been doing these last couple months.
I was diagnosed with Crohn's Colitis on January 5th. At the time I found out I had Crohn's disease, I had it in my large intestine. When I found out I thought my life was over. I am a very active dancer and in school I take a lot of the AP classes. The first week of finding out I'm pretty sure I cried everyday multiple times a day. I have researched a lot and am finding out many things now about Crohn's. Earlier this week I was told I have Crohn's in my small intestine. My doctor wants to start me on Remicade. Does anyone have any stories or good things to say about it?
I have so many questions. What do you have for symptoms and how you deal with it? How did you tell others like your friends?
If anyone has any words of advice I would greatly appreciate it! I am on such a learning curve right now because no one else in my family has this or anything like it. I am the first so I don't really have anyone to bounce ideas off of so please I ask for your help.
