:ymad: Glad I found this site but it just deleted everything I had typed when I went to do a spell check blah.
Since I don't feel like typing it all out again cliff notes.
Last year of college 06/07 had frequent loose stools doctors didn't seem to care.
Fall of 07 I was in the hospital twice. First time found out I was anemic they thought it was OK for 23 year old male and sent me on my way. Month later back in the ER barley responding/ passed out. Received a ton of test, spinal tap, blood transfusion and left with a GI doctor 4 days later.
Fall of 08 had a colonoscopy and endoscope and berium x-rays to confirm crohns. soon after started 12 asacol and 3 entecort a day plus iron. Spring 09 taper off of entecort.
Fast forward to now still 12 asacol and 3 entecort along with iron twice a day. Still anemic down 20 pounds my current weight is 120 pounds an all time low. Best of all just found out in eight months I used all of my prescription money in my crappy insurance plan this year. My goals try and gain weight and become nourished again and live of sample meds till January.
End of rant/ But I'm glad I found such a great site and cant wait to be able to contribute and share.:sign0144:
