New to the forum

I'm new to the Forum...
I was in the Hospital two weeks ago with the worst flare-up ever, they kept me for 10 days. The Doctors stated my Crohn's has gotten worse since diagnosed 2006. I now have an appointment on the 26th with a Specialist to scope my innards... a section of my lower bowls have bonded together and possible have a hole (CT scan). I also had E.Coli in the blood due to infection and pneumonia in the right lung.

Anyway, I've been online (Google) all day looking for advise and help and ran across this Forum.

I'm scared....

Hello Madsod Glad you found us here. I'm sorry to hear your Crohn's is flaring again and I think feeling scared is only natural. This bloomin disease scares me too.
Good luck with your appointment on 26th and hope the prognosis is not too bad. Let us know how you get on.

Hi Madsod and welcome! I am sorry to hear you are going through so much right now. I am sure after your scope you will be discussing different treatment options to try. I suggest doing some homework in the Treatment forum to familarize yourself with the many different choices you have.

Try not to be scared. It sounds like you are in good hands. I am glad your GI hasn't delayed and did a scan and set up a scope. I wish you luck. Keep us posted!
