Hi,
So went for Colonoscopy, Gastroscopy and CT Scan, doctor reckons that it's quite likely I have crohn's although he is not 100% as the biopsies weren't completely consistent, apparently there is something indians and pakistanis get that I'm unlikely to have that woudl present the same.
So long story short he thinks I have crohns. I was expecting this, he warned me from the outset, but I'm kind of freaked out, he told me over the phone and I couldnt' ask any questions cause he kept saying it would be better to discuss in person.
Scared and really confused. What does this mean for my life, at the moment I'm pretty much asymtomatic, apart from some pain when I use the bathroom possible fistula or something. Although it was every day diarrhea for a while.
I kind of need someone to tell me what's going to happen or what might happen. I keep reading about really serious cases of crohn's and then turning white at the thought of it.
Maybe I have a mild version? Maybe this is going to be ok, or am I deluding myself?
Also he is going to talk about treatment, is there medication I should prefer? I've heard some of them are really heavy.
Would really appreciate someone giving me advice on this.
