Hi! omg I'm so excited to have found this forum :dusty:
after missing six weeks of junior high due to severe you-know-what and loss of appetite (I wouldn't even eat popsicles), I was diagnosed in 2012 with U.C.; a couple of years later I was told that it was actually presenting more like Crohns. yippee.
I've had difficulty sticking to my meds (I was finally diagnosed with ADHD last year); I've had prednisone off and on, am currently on Azathioprine and Mesalamine, and get iron infusions to supplement my iron supplements (apparently my window in which to absorb iron is basically shut).
in 2011, during an indescribable, undiagnosed several-month period of not eating, I developed a recto-vaginal fistula; in March, my colonoscopy showed narrowing, though I'm kinda-sorta asymptomatic other than daily nuisances.
my health coverage under my father's work insurance will terminate at the end of January, so I'm really hoping to be able to control this with diet.
