Hi my name is Travis and I have had Crohn's since 2008. My real battle with it didn't start till last year though. That's when the hospital trips started and my disease went from mild to severe. In the last 6 months I have spent maybe 2-3 of them in the hospital. I am on prednisone, mesalamine, mercapatorine, and mental meds because I have steroid psychosis. swamped in debt, hardly keeping up with my payments for my meds. I started a gofundme thingy to get aid in that respect and it is helping. But emotionally I need to talk to others who understand which is why I came here.
Having my arms covered in wounds from blood being drawn, burst vains, IV's, the mental stress of it all. Hair falling out, tired all the time, rapid weight gain and loss. I just... it's so hard. I hate having to carry a bag around in case I have an accident, I hate being to weak to work, and I hate how so many people are unwilling to sympathize or understand. Yes I am venting now. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
