and here's my story:
I had a Flexi Sig a few weeks ago, they gave me an enema, and left me for half an hour, then completed it but gave me 4ml of sedative in case i had to have another one, or a colonoscopy in the future as to not put me off. He found nothing, and i then went into hospital for a week after an MRI result and a stool sample calprotectin result (very high).
I then had an perianal abscess form which meant a week long stay in hospital. It then got drained and is well on the way to recovery (says the district nurse who packs it every day, she can't pack it today as it's not deep enough any more, surely a good sign?), I'm seeing the consultant and the surgeon this week to see how it's healing and will drop an update then, but touch wood, doesn't seem to be making a fistula at all, i have Crohns by the way, and he wants to put me on infliximab soon.
I had a T-Spot test (TB test) before i get put onto the infliximab, and have been looking up side effects, lymphoma, leukaemia, liver failure, right down to the dermatitis, basically i feel like rubbish all day every day now as i'm home alone, and not allowed out at all, don't see anyone except my mum and sister, and the district nurse, it's horrible and i don't really want any more conditions to come of the treatment, such as dermatitis which will need extra time to heal or extra medications.
Thanks For reading all of this
