So I was just diagnosed in January, after having a terrible flareup starting in August. I've probably been having flareups since high school and was diagnosed with h pylori, celiacs, ibs, etc and pretty much told that it was just anxiety. Turns out it's not.
Anyways, I'm 23. Currently trying to get it under control. I'm now taking Humira and Mercaptopurine. I still have near-constant exhaustion and I want food because I'm tried, but I can't stomach most foods. My GI is going to up some of the meds to see if that helps and I'm trying to see is any supplements help. Next, I'm going to mess around with my diet and try to see what foods help.
I am getting enough sleep and I'm trying to do some exercise every day. But mostly I just want to sleep all day. And eat chocolate.
