My Story

[PS3 Player]

Hi everyone,
I am new to this website, I found it about a week ago. I have been reading stories and trying to understand what many of you are going through. I was diagnosed with Chrons Colitis about 8 months ago. I think I had it much longer, but I am one of those guys who hate to go to the doctors. I tried to suffer through my pain and painful bowel-movements, but I just couldn't take it anymore.

I actually have some questions and was wondering if anyone is going through the same problems as me. I am taking Liadlia twice a day (2 pills in the morining, 2 at night), and am now having to stick a suppository in my ass every night. When I was first diagnosed, I also had to do the suppository thing for 30 days. Does anyone else have to do this? I have been reading the message boards and nobody seems to be under the same medications as me.

Also, being diagnosed with chrons colitis? I am only finding info on one or the other. So I have both diseases? Can anyone explain the differences to me. My doctor is really terrible, so now I have an appointment to go see a UofM doctor. Hopefully he will help me understand my disease better

Some more info...does anyone share my same poop problem? I am always constipated...every single time. It takes me forever to drop a poop. It comes out flat lookingat times and sometimes it comes out as little droplings?? Its hard to explain bowel movements to you guys and the doctor...do any of you have problems with this? How can I be constipated, when my poop comes out soft and flat?
Hopefully some of you can help me out! Thank you so much.

Can someone also explain their flare up to me? How do you know if your in a flare up? Am i in a flare up if I am having all these problems? Flat poop...constipation, etc? Or is a flare up only when there is blood and extreme pain?

I can never understand when you all write about flare ups? I thought we were always in a flare up. Is it possible to go into remission and poop normally, like I used to poop when I was a kid?

I have so many questions...I wish I could write and get responses for everything

Any info would be very apprectaited.

Hey PS3. I am still new to my diagnosis and dealing with it. Haven't really managed to grasp it all either, but I think sooner or later it will all come to me, as well as you. This is a great place to be and there is lots of information to be had here. Unfortunately I don't have many answers for you at the moment, but wanted to say hi anyway. So ....... :welcome:
