Still waiting for a pedi gastro appointment for my daughter. Her symptoms seems to be getting worse, and I'm terrified she has crohns disease. She's worried about getting blood tests even, and it just makes me cry to think, if she has crohns, the meds/blood tests/ symptoms, on going pain. She was just calling herself stupid just now, and it tears my heart apparat. Im trying dairy free then wheat free, but I feel like her ongoing pain, even when she doesn't eat first thing, and has cramps, just didn't sound like food intolerance. I told her of its chronic there's lots of meds that can help, but to see her in pain, hurts more then crohns. And I feel like there's nothing I can do. Just wait for a pedi appointment, try diff diets, while being terrified that it's crohnic and that at 8, she has to cope with horrific pain.
How do you parents cope? How do you not break down and cry. I bite the tears back when she says she's sore but sometimes I just cant. I know if she has crohns, I've got to be strong for her, make her feel like its ok, but it's not ok! Shes 8! Why do I feel like I'm to weak to handle her having crohns? I just want her to be well.
