Hi everyone. Glad I found some people going through the same as me!
I contracted samonella last may and was really very Ill. Since then you iv been back and forth to the doctors with all the classic signs of crohns but they wouldn't listen. I'm training to be a nurse and only when I got to know the a&e doctors did people start listening! My mouth constantly full of horrible ulcers, going to the toilet I dont know how many times etc ect.
After some tests the doc said I have some form of colitis probably crohns but got to wait another 6 weeks to see the specialist. Meanwhile my symptoms are getting worse iv been back and forth to doc but they don't seem to help. My joints are really causing me trouble, I would say that's the worse part at the moment as I'm filling myself up with immodium so I can go out (although this sometimes has little effect)! My hands, knees, back even feet are killing me! I'm in bed early and struggle to get up. Feel so weak, its really getting me down now. At a bit of a loss here as and so any tips\ help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Claire
