Hello everyone,
I've been watching this forum for a while and finally decided to join
I'm 23 and was diagnosed with Crohn's disease back in October 2012 after having lots of problems with pain and diarrhea. Originally they tried to pass it off as IBS, but I had an idea it was crohns as my dad also has it.
I've had a few 'flares' since diagnosis - one was bad over the summer and I'm currently in the worst one I've ever had. I miscarried a month ago and I think the emotional stress triggered everything off.
My main symptoms when flaring are diarrhea with some blood, pains and extreme tiredness.
I work in a preschool and do my best to work hard, but I have had a lot of time off sick due to crohns.
