So my story is a little interesting I would say. I was 16 when my mom took me to the doctor for severe pain and diarrhea that lasted for 2 weeks. I was my doctor's first patient she ever diagnosed with crohns. I had 2 colonscopies to confirm. Well when I was 21 had my 5 year check up for colonoscopy. Doctor said you don't have it, it was a fluke. So I was like yea. At 29 I went into the er for severe pain. They couldn't find any thing wrong with me except severely constipated. I went to my doctor the following days where he sends me to a specialist. I go to my first appointment tell her my story of crohns and not knowing if I actually have it or not. She basically tells me I'm a liar to my face but schedules a colonscopy and endoscopy any ways. Well thank god she left the practice because I did not care for her at all. Well my results came back mild crohns and they wanted to do a capsule endoscopy to check small intestines out. That's where they found some damage and an ulcer in my ileum. So I am put on pentasa. Doc gives me a colonoscpy 3 months later to check things out clear. I go back 3 months later to see how I am doing and orders bloodwork because I am losing my hair. Blood work comes back bad. I have way too high protein levels in my blood. So next Thursday I go back for a capsule endoscopy.
Currently taking pentasa was on sulfa salazine.
