I have never used a forum before.. I have no idea what I am doing. I do know that I have Crohns and Ulcerative Colitis. It started out with pain in my stomach, vomiting, diarrhea and at times constipation. I am 19 years old and was diagnosed with Crohns and Ulcerative Colitis last year. I had gone through several years of pain before I ever figured out what was really wrong with me. It started out kind of abruptly.. I was 15 when the pain started and it threw me off. It was out of the blue and it wouldnt go away. I lost 10 pounds in one week and I was also very weak. I'm on medication now and sometimes it works and other times I find myself in pain. I take prilosec and mesalamine.
The reason I joined this forum is to maybe find people my age dealing with this disease. No one around me in my area is going through what I am. I can't drink alcohol nor can I eat out as much as I would like to. It sounds petty to everyone around me, here, but to me it is like someone ripped my world from underneath me...
