Not so good - have to get surgery in Friday. Strictureplasty or resection, depending on if the strictureplasty is possible. Not looking forward to it...
 
Doing this from my Mom's account, my name is Caitlyn I am a teenager.
I got a resectioning, its not so bad once you get past the pain part :( .
I've tried remicade, 6mp imuran, humira, prednisone, methotrexate, etc.
I just had a flair and am currently on;
Prednisone
Pentasa
Nexium
Amytrptaline
Florajin
and Talynol with coden for those really bad times.
:dance: None of these are working right now :(
 
Getting a bit stressed because i'm undiagnosed, poorly and undergoing tests at the moment which is never fun. I'm not allowed to go to college so i'm basically stuck in my house except when i'm off to hospital, doctors or pharmacy. Not seeing any friends or doing anything fun. Getting me down at the moment. I'm trying to be positive, but every so often it upsets me.

How are you laybay? Xx
 
Oh no! You're undiagnosed - how come? Can they not identify the problem for sure?
That's tough :( Is your health what's preventing you from going to college?
Things will get better! They did for me and they will for you! The beginning (when you're first being diagnosed) is the worst, so it'll go uphill from here.
 
Because the hospital aren't taking it seriously enough and sent me to hospital last year for more tests, but they weren't even IBD specialists.. so they had no idea.. they just said it was IBS. But the blood test I had a couple of weeks ago shows an inflammation in my stomach.

And yeah my health is stopping my social life and education.

Thank you :) Glad you're getting through it! :) x
 
I know how it goes, I got sick and had to basically miss out on half the Cheerleading season. And now I think I won't be able to do track this winter either. My friends all think I'm crazy... :/ I look like a total slob too, for the last week I have just been going to school in sweats with my hair dirty and tied back. I feel so bad its not even worth looking decent anymore. AND my face is all puffy from stupid prednisone. I hate bring in high school and dealing with this. And my dumb doctor is not helping at all!
