Recently diagnosed back in September

[allnighter247]

Hello All!

I’ve been thinking about joining the forum for awhile and finally took the plunge! I was diagnosed with Crohns back in September after going about a year with very unusual symptoms that had me worried for the worst.

My general symptoms were urinary, a bubble type feeling in my left lower back, sharp abdominal/rib/body pain, diminished vision, acid reflux, memory recall issues, lethargy, peeling finger skin, wrinkled fingers and joint stiffness/pain. I also experienced many neurological symptoms such as tingling, numbness, jolt pains and stabbing head and eye pain.

I think everyone has a pretty unique case of Crohns and I’m curious how many others have or had neurological related symptoms?

Have a good one!

Hi. I have peripheral neuropathy. It mostly affects my left leg.

That sounds exactly like what I have in terms of symptoms. I completely forgot about the burning sensations which affected my hands and head. Is there anything that helps with that?

Check with your doctor. I have had pain in my leg that made it hard to move. My doctor prescribed gabapentin m
