Well my story...Around last July I started to feel very unwell I got a silly choke cough,and stomach pains,fever and so tired like I'd never had before(was getting up going to work,getting home going to sleep,waking for dinner then back to bed).So took myself to GP and they decided I had infection so gave me some antibiotics,at this time I was still just about dragging myself to work,anyway after week I went back as was no different,was basically told its only been week,but few days later saw another GP and she decided to do bloods as thought I might have helibactor by now I had gone sick at work,but after week I returned to work,still having bloods done as they showed didn't have helibactor just no idea what was wrong! well I lasted a week at work and was off sick again! GP now had no ideas and I was getting worse,but on a visit to GP I was tachycardia and he had me admitted to CDU. Which turned out to be total waste he told me I had a problem as I was breathing in to much air,and was just run down! By this time I just can't eat a thing,bringing up bile to add to other problems. GP again admitted me to hospital,this time I stayed 2 days and was released being told had to be realeased to have MRI(within 2 weeks) as the bloods showed something wrong but no idea what! Well 3 weeks later my GP told me to go to A&E this time I was in a week and they told me think its crohns and I finally got the MRI done private and this showed crohns,I was released and within week DR from hospital rang and gave me 9mg of budesonide granules,I also following week had to have the lovely backside test! And crohns was confirmed! Just before Christmas I was down to 3mg but starting to get slight pain again so was put back upto 9mg this time tablet form which I didn't find so good as granules.At this time I also had blood test to start Azathioprine,finally 20th Jan I had letter to say I could start Azathioprine.All ok till this Tuesday(4th Feb) started to have the really bad stomach pains again,by Thursday I was unable to complete my days work went home and phones crohns nurse and Friday she told me to stop taking the Azathioprine and Monday she ringing me and I have to go and see Dr at hospital.So now I have no idea whats going to happen up until now I felt I was doing so well,i was able to return to work and do my job,now Im kinda like??? Also up till now work have been ok,they have gave me a DDA but that was to help me,now though im off sick again after taking nearly 3 months sick last year,trying not to stress!
But on a whole I would say the past few months has taught me im a lot stronger than I ever thought!:smile:
