Hello all. This is somewhat of a vent, but I'm also looking for anyone who has experienced similar symptoms.
If you've followed me at all, you a know a little of my story, but if you haven't, I'll write a brief update.
I'm a 25 yo, have 2 children, sahm. We'd love to have another, but I need to figure out what's going on first. I was diagnosed with CD in 2008 while I was pregnant. I've been on all sorts of meds. The only thing that kind of worked was red, but with all the nasty side affects, I just wanted off, so I started to see a naturopath. It took a while, but things seem to be somewhat under control CD wise right now. No blood or mucous...maybe more constipation than anything. I had a colonoscopy in March which showed mild activity, though they could not get through to my small intestine because of tightening caused by scar tissue.
Now the problem is everything else! I have severe joint pain- seeing a
rheumatologist in July. My skin is completely breaking out...itchy, dry, rashes
all over my body, itchy eyes ( though I realize it's allergy season), numb arms
when I lie down, fatigue. This is all that I can think of right now, but I'm at my wits end!!
Any suggestions? I feel like there is something else wrong with me. I don't want to take strong meds, but I feel like I'm hitting a wall right now...
