Hello everyone, I am a new comer here and Im do happy I found this forum. I am not diagnosed but I do believe I have crohn's, I dont have any medical insurance, so untill then Ill have to get through this on my own. Symptoms began about 10 months ago, I woke up out if my sleep 2 nights in a row with my stomach convulsing and involuntary vomitting and diarrhea. Since then I have had several episodes ranging from a week to a month with days to several months in between.
My symptoms are all over the place, I experience severe vomitting, diarrhea, nausea that is out of this world. Severe cramping both in my lower back and lower abdomen. Extreme fatigue, night sweats, burning in my stomach and through my bowels, sometimes it feels like Ive swollowed hot glass and some times it feels like someone is ringing out my stomach over and over again. I have sharp pains in my stomach, Ive experienced diarrhea and constipation at the same time, often always feeling the need to go. The thought of food just makes me sick, so I dont eat aften when Im having an episode. Sometimes the pain is so bad I feel like Im going to faint. Not to mention the gross amounts of mucus I have coming from my bum, and the newest thing is mouth sores.
I have tried changing my diet, I've gone lactose free, gluten free and have even been on a liquid diet, but none of it helps at all. I recently went to the ER for blood in my stool, which is something new for me.
Needless to say Im tired, Im a single parent with 2 young boys and I feel like thing is taking over my life. It is great to have others to talk to who know what your going through. After reading a few posts I wanted to cry, Im not alone or crazy.:ylol2::ybatty:
