Hi I just recently got diagnosed in April and it was a devastating journey
I kept getting sick diarrhea anemia a billion tests many doctor visits stress. So it started out with soft stools and then I started going to the bathroom frequently I thought it was because of milk
I also had a really bad cough that never went away but I went to many doctors they gave me a lot of medication but I didnt see any improvement when finally I went to a gi and he told me I needed an endoscopy and colony scope because we were debating if I had celiac or crohns the prep day was really bad for me as I was throwing up in the loo a lot and had the worst cramps then the colonoscopy day it's was ok I was really scared but I don't remember a thing cause they gave me anesthesia that made me feel drowsy but my mom was in the room with me and she said I was talking the whole time. I got the biopsy results and it was crohns in the ileum and I started of with a mild steroid and it helped but when I tapered I got into a flare again so I got some prednisolone and I was good I got 30 mg and tapered by 5 mg per week and I was great I felt amazing the first daoh wait I forgo before prednisone I was anemic so I got 500mg of iron by iv every 2 days for 5 times so my I started to produce blood so after prednisone I still feel amazing till today with gods grace
