Wow I'm looking over my full folders of medical paperwork, Job and Family service paperwork, goodwill help paperwork, Social Security Denials folder, and everything and I'm just in shock I just turned 24 and in just a year and 4 months I've been through 34 ER visits, statcare visits, doc visits, and medical tests all together wow I hope this is a healthier year for me, I'm on my 3rd eye infection. I keep getting infections and I'm still unable to work after getting fired last year. I'm applying and trying to work etc but my crohns and my infections prevent me from feeling like I can actually work, I'm just not well enough yet it seems. Constant infections etc. Doesn't matter if I go "less" in a day I still have horrible fatigue, random body aches and pains, anxiety and stress of living in poverty, (I'm not paying for internet lol), wow I can't believe I've been through this. Crohns really is like a lifelong cancer (and I've been through 3 non-Crohns related cancer deaths in my family). 2-3 others have had cancer but haven't died from it thank God! Having this disease has literally ruined my life, no more social life, barely drive my car, can't wait in lines at the grocery store etc, can't take walks, depressing..............
Just diagnosed last December with Crohns, been dealing with it for 13 months...
