Hi everyone
I was diagnosed with Crohns when i was 17 (1997) and it was never an issue until i became pregnant. In 1999 i had to have a ileostomy/mucus fistula, as things were gettin quite serious at the time and i was only just 2 months pregnant. They they also took 85% of my colon away. I had the op reversed in 2004 and have encountered lots of other health issues. I have Infliximab infusions every 8 wks and take Azathioprine 200mg, 4800mg Asacol and lots of other iron, calcium etc.
I've always been too scared of joining forums like this but i guess i'm lost at the min, ive just had to quit uni too because of these health issues. Also having an ex basically put me down constantly because of what i go through hasn't helped.
Just reading some of the posts so far on here, has helped me to see that i'm not alone with this and hopefully i'll meet some wonderful people from here:ybiggrin:
Thanks for reading
