Hi my name is kaye and ive had crohns since i was 19, now 46,i first noticed that my skin was scally and patches of dry skin, which i later found out was psoriasis, then can those dreadful pains and diarrhea when i first went to my doctor he said it was just a bad case of gastric , this went on for about 2 months, until i collapsed, and was rushed into hospital, i was 10 stone before i became ill but when i was taken to hospital i was 61/2 stone. To cut a very long story short after many operations and 2 years later i had a permanate Illeostomy. A year later i had my 2nd child with rather a lot of problems but all was ok when she was born. Couple of years later i felt rather ill and in pain but not the same pain as Crohns, i also went yellow, i was rushed into hospital again and had to have my gore bladder removed. Since then up until a few years ago i was fine but started getting painful joints and found out its arthritis. I had my anus sown when i was given my permant Illeostomy but a few weeks ago i started to get pain and pressure in lower back and where anus was, i feel as if i need to push, its very uncomfortable, i have an appointment on the 7th march with doctor. Has anyone else had this problem, thank you for reading,
