Hello everyone. Im not really sure where to start, or to keep the story short or go into full details. I guess I can start with im not very good at spelling lol, and most of my meds I cant even pronounce let alone spell. I was diagnosed with crohns in 2005. I had been having symptoms for about three yrs prior, but always wrote it off as something else. Did have some basic blood work because I was unable to maintain weight, but nothing was ever caught. It wasn't until 2005 when I went to er for stomach pain. Ends up I had a full blockage and was rushed to o r for a strictureplasty. My surgeon noticed the narrowing in my small bowel singed me up with a g I doc and away we went. I have been on almost every med out there list is a mile long. started biologicals in 2009 I was taking Pentasa at the time, but took a turn for the worse. Ended back in the e r and my g I doc put me on remicade. I was on that for a while, My body found a way around it somehow. Or it was just time for surgery. Needless to say me and my g I doc didn't get along, that was when I actually saw him which was pretty much only in the e r seems he was running a production shop only saw the p a. So finally after remicade doses pretty much every week, and even double doses I finally demanded surgery.
So much for making a long story short lol. After meeting with my surgeon I was scheduled for a bowel resection. Course this was after all of the great test they do to see if its needed ( I drew the line at the swallow the camera pill thing). Went in for surgery maybe I should stop here. Ive always wanted to join something like this, but I really don't wanna sound like im complaining or scare anyone. Anyway im new here
