Hi Everyone,
I was diagnosed with Crohn's (with possible unconfirmed additional Bihcets) in May 2014. I had had GI problems since January 2014. I originally thought I had IBS but kept getting sicker until I felt my body was falling apart.
By the time I was admitted to the hospital in May I had unlcers in my colon, intestines, esophogus, mouth and on my tongue, swollen retinas, uveitis, hemorrhoids, a fistula and an infected abscess.
I started Remicade and Imuran on May 22nd. So far they've been kind of miraculous, except for pimples and thinning hair. I've had 3 infusionas and am most of the way through my first 8 week gap. Kind of afraid to relax and jinx things.
Now trying to put my life back together and come to terms with the fact that at 29 I suddenly have a chronic disease.
