Hey nice to meet you all :heart:
Unfortunately it has to be under the terms of us all having one thing in common: Crohn's Disease:frown:
I wanted to join this community to freely talk about my experience and get to know other people who are dealing with this nasty disease because sometimes it can be so isolating and lonely being the only one you know dealing with these constant symptoms.
Just a short intro of myself: I'm 27. Female. From Virginia. Dx in 2005 but definitely knew I had this my whole life. I am forever thankful for my parents pursuing my issue and not stopping when being told " its just an upset stomach" or "your daughter is just lactose intolerant". I have had a bowel obstruction (which I heard is worse than child birth and I completely believe that cause my god that pain was unbearable).Laparoscopic surgery for bowel restriction in 2009.
I just wanted to be able to know that I am not alone. I constantly get tired of feeling so nauseous and sick to my stomach everyday of my life. That's not including the constant diarrhea that can occur over 10+ times a day. I am not the type of person who also likes to complain but I feel like Crohn's disease is such a part of me that I am constantly having to say I don't feel well today and this that and the other. I still however get my work done and am about to graduate from Ultrasound school. I just feel that I sometimes complain to much to my boyfriend, to my parents, to my friends. But I don't do it because I have nothing else to say...its just that one day I wish I wouldn't have to worry about constantly thinking about my stomach.
I have been on multiple medications like I am sure many of you are currently on right now. My medication I am on now is Humira, I hate how these medicines have such bad side effects and can potentially cause Cancer. I have been currently reading up on CBD oil and all of the benefits that it has towards patients with Crohn's. My state is currently trying to pass a bill to expand the list of ailments that this oil is available to and Crohn's happens to be one the list.
Sorry from my randomness but I just wanted a place where I could come to that I would feel comfortable talking and possibly have someone once in my life relate to some issues I am having :heart:
Thanks for listening and have a great day :wub:
