hello my name is randy and im terriable at spelling so please bear with me and here is my story.
i have had symptoms for 15 yrs now, mostley the diarhea and stomach aches. then one early morning i was awakened by one of the worst pains i had experienced yet! i put up with it for most of the day when my wife talked me into going into the hospital where i was quickly diagnosed with a apendicitis and into surgery i went. in post op i was told that although my appendix was fine they removed it anyways. they also removed 8-12 inches of lower intestine because it was severly infected. but they were not sure why, i was released three days later. after about of a week and a half i went back to work and stopped taking the pain killers, all the pain came back. back to the drs i go and he sends me to a specialist where i had a catscan blood test colonoscopy and a endoscopy with a outcome diagnosis of crohns diagnosis. i have been on 40mg of prednisone for two and half weeks with NO relief. VERY FRUSTRATING!!! i havent been able to work now as i am a truck driver and can not work or drive while im on pain killers. i will try to keep up on any news or updates i have. thank you
tired of the pain Randy
