Hello, I am Nicole and I am 24 years old. My story has a lot of parts so I am just going to stick to the important parts. I have had stomach problems for years and years, pain diarhea, vomiting ect. I have dealt with it for a long long time, and was told at one point to eliminate gluten to see if that helped (it didnt but I was on a gluten free dairy free diet for 4 years which I recently just gave up on). Last month I was grocery shopping and I was in such severe pain that I had to go to the ER. The ER found via CT scan inflamation of my illeum and terminal illeum. I went the next day to a GI specialist who sent me for a colonoscopy. The colonoscopy was clean, and sent me for upper GI/SBFT.
I just got the call yesterday that I do in fact have chrons based on the SBFT. I dont know how severe or what the treatment plan is at this point. I am very scared of what could happen. I dont know what questions I should ask at my doctors appointment, which is on tuesday.
The other side of this is I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia because of severe body aches, could this be related? I just dont even know what is going on with my body, if it is all related to the crohns or not.
