Hello,
My name is Bruno and I was diagnosed with Chron when I was 6 years old, back in 1986. Had a bad flare at that age, and spent months in the hospital. After that, I have been more or less in remission (with frequent periods of loose stools) till last December. I was admitted to the Hospital in the beginning of January this year for the first time (during one week), and last month was in the hospital for another two weeks. I had quite a bad flare, and did all type of exams: endoscopy, colonoscopy, CT Scan, MRI Scan, countless blood tests... Besides confirming the Chron diagnosis I had as a kid, I have quite a few stomach ulcers too, which is not fun at all. Currently I'm taking for the first time Prednisolone, Azathioprine, Omeprazole, Forceval, Accrete, Thiamine and special nutritional drinks. Feeling much better now (as I haven't felt in ages), but worried that now that Chron has come back with a vengeance, that I will have flares more frequently...
It's nice to meet you all and hope all of you are feeling better today
Bruno
