Hi everyone went to the doctor today, he talked to me about my pathology (sp) report. When they did my surgery they took out 14cm of small intestine and the surgeon told me he took out my appendix, and 2cm of colon to get tested also. Ok well it showed there's no active crohns anywhere, not In my colon, not in my large intestine and no where in my small intestine ... It seems my idiot doctor i had in 2011 didn't put me on the right medication and because of that my small intestine narrowed and that was the reason I kept getting constipation.. I fricken hate doctors that play with their patient life and dont care because they get paid pfft..I love my doctors I have now, they care and you can tell.

Its weird to hear that word. remission.. never thought I would hear that word.. I thank god only he could of done this.. my doctor said I will be on maintainance drugs but other than that I can eat what I want and live my life... I know I will not be crazy and eat things that are no no for crohnie's
I cried like a baby at the doctor office when he told me that, I'm hoping every one hear that glorious word this year
 
Thanks so much, even tho the report says theres no active crohns i guess i wont believe until i actually do another colonoscopy and they definitly see nothing.. what do you guys believe more the pathology report or the colonoscopy? I dont know ehy my brain cant believe that this is a good thing that its not there. I dont know i guess im so usr to reading some people the doctor say one thing but thats not really whats going on and a few months later they end up worst.
 
I think they go together. Sometimes what the doctor can't see is there in the pathology report. Sounds like you have a better doctor than before.

I think your hesitation will go away in time. It's hard to read about someone who was in remission for years and suddenly one day they're not, and not think about it happening to you. Have faith. :)
