Hello guys am so happy that theres forum for crohns. My experience well it first started when I was 17 and I used to get little pains from time to time. I thought nothing of it as most people do, so months went by my appetite was still very good however the stomach pains became more painful. I took this as a indication to see the doctor and he was like its fine probably just a stomach bug. What did I do I took his advice and was thinking this will blow over at the time I played for a football academy professionally. This was when I started to notice from bags of energy to nothing I was really sluggish and so did the coach. I told him I'm just going through a glitch everything will be ok but it wasn't. Doctors vist after docter vist nothing they said it was allergies. My parents were getting annoyed as I wasn't turning up for school or football nothing. Then things got serious weight was going down fast became fragile parents were getting worried. I thought things couldn't get any worse but they did I went down to 6st got dropped from football terminated my contract nothing was looking good.
Docters then noticed something was wrong but done nothing until one night I was watching tv late with my dad and the pain went from 8 to 10 I was staggering everything was getting dark started sweat I knew I was about to pass out but then dad got me lucazade the gluecose helped I then ran to the toilet and emptied my guts. Dad was so pissed not at me but at doctors enough was enough I then had to go private. Went to hospital was scared total stay was 2weeks felt like a lifetime. They said they had to put a tube up my nose and feed me elementals because I was seriously malnurished but I was lyk *** that and started drinking them they were horrible I had various X-rays bloodtest the works felt like a laprat. They were darkest days of my life took them a while to find that was crohns and that was the least serious option. There was no summer holidays for me lol amazingly I passed my exams cut long story short I first was on pentaza worked for abit relapsed went on predisalone steroids omg face ballooned up hair was falling out relapsed twice at 21 am now on azothepraine which I take but sometimes just can't bothered taking them diet is perfect and am now uni in Scotland and work as a personal trainer thank you for your time
