Hi everyone!

Hey guys, my name is Daphne, I'm 18 years old and I've been diagnosed with indeterminate Colitis about 2 years ago. So far I've had 2 Prednisone treatments, the first was really bad for me but luckily the second one didn't cause too many problems for me. IBD has also caused me to get into a depression and with even though I had a lot of ups, there are still also a lot of downs. At my last check-up I was doing really well, but at the moment I'm scared that I have an inflammation. I also have a ton of other problems that were (partially) caused by IBD, but I'm staying strong and I have succes at my study. I find peace in reading, writing, travelling and tattoos. I'm currently on 4g Mesalamine and 75mg Azathioprine. I hope that I can find people who know what I'm going through, since almost everyone in my life doesn't understand me.

Thanks for your reply :)
I'm going to contact my doctor if I'm not feeling better by Wednesday. I also have IBS, and at the moment I have a lot of stress, so I want to be sure it's not IBS acting up.
