Hello everyone,
First of all let me say that English isn't my main language, so please excuse any mistake I might make
I'm female with 36y and recently diagnosed with chrons.
The last 2 years i've had many episodes of diahrea and the last year I was going to the hospital emergency every 2 or 3 months with abdominal pain and vomits that could only stop with intravenous medication. Short story they gave me medication and sent me home.
Back in August 23 I got admitted to the emergency room and after lots of testing I stayed for 8 days there, did colonoscopy with biopsy and oficial diagnosed with chron with strictures
I did prednisone for 2 months ( put 10kg extra) and after that I started imraldi (adalibumabe) alone.
In January I did more tests, and apparently my levels weren't good so my Dr prescribed azathioprine+imraldi
Doing some researches I got bit scared of the side effects to be honest, but I'm trusting the process..
I'm still trying to figure out what is normal to happen.. I've had what i belive its some extra intestinal symptoms related to the disease/caused by the medication
- hair loss, joints and muscular pain and most recently some kind of dermatitis
I'm still struggling about food/ diet.. even though I'm being followed by a nutritionist specialized in this condition, I have days eating clean, that I experience some issues and some others I feel normal..
Sometimes i feel frustrated and " alone " with all this happening, so hope your forum can bring me some clarification and hopefully some help in this new journey
Thank you
