My name is Jessica. I havent formally been diagnosed with Crohn's Disease yet. My GI keeps telling me that that's what I have, but says he can't be sure until he does a colonoscopy, which is scheduled for two weeks from now.
I told my doctor that I can't afford the medication (no insurance) and he informed me that without the pills, I'm 25x more likely to get colon cancer in 10-15 years. Well, that's great, doc. He also informed me that even WITH insurance, the pills are still sometimes unaffordable.
I guess I'm just worried about what to do next. I plan to follow the SCD, but my husband and I literally live paycheck-to-paycheck, so there is no extra money for me to buy special foods.
I am just hoping for the best. My son is 8 months old and 8 don't want to be on chemo for his high school graduation. Don't judge, but I want to try medicinal marijuana. I'm still not sure about it, though. I dunno, I'm just at a lost right now.
