August of last year and I was turning 20 and weighed 130lbs. I didnt want to be leaving the teenage years and now I know why. A few weeks after turing 20 I started having really bad back pain and stomch pain all night long. After my mom found me one two many night be sick again in the bathroom we went into see the doctor. She told me that it was IBS and I need to stop stressing. "Stressing? I thought to myself, " What do I have to be stressed over?" My life for a 20 year old was good. Yeah we have our family problems but doesnt everybody? Then in November I became anemic . The question that I had was were am I bleeding from? The doctors told me its from heavy periods. Ok well I thought those have always been the same why now. Then after Thanksgiving I ended the 4 days off with a night in the E.R. And after 4mg of morphine I was feeling great. The doctor that was taking care of me was ready to take out my apentix (?) then decided that it was too much bacteria in my intestines. After that thing just started going down hill. I started running temps was the weirdest times and losing weight. I was at the doctors every two weeks. But know one really knew what was going on. March hit and I was 111 lbs at the start by mid march I was 109lbs by the end 104lbs. My mom went crazy and we had appointment to see a GI in two weeks. Well easter sunday I could lay down sit or stand up I was in to much pain! So back to the E.R. we go. This it they find something!! I never felt so good to hear the doctor say there is something wrong with you, but I'm not sure what it is. After an 8 day hosptil stay they knew it was Crohn's. I felt so good having a problem and now there was something that I could work on making better. I was upset that it took 9 months to find out what was wrong but now I know. The end
