Hello all. I am a 33 year old Canadian male and new this site as well as being new to the disease. Although I am yet to be officially diagnosed with CD, all signs point to it. I was in the hospital with very sharp abdominal pain on Feb 6th. XRay and Ct scan showed inflammation and thickening of the bowel. I was sent home with Oxycocet and told I would be contacted by a GI specialist soon. Eight days went by before I decided to call the office myself and I was given an appointment of March 10th. I have since seen my family DR who has only refilled the Oxy prescription. I was also given something for oral thrush that I noticed on my tongue. At the present, my stomach seems to be less painful, however, I am now in some fine pain in due to a fistula.
HISTORY - In 2004, I had a fistula that was very painful and erupted on it's own before seeing a proctologist. Once I seen him, he said that it was fine because it erupted. In 2008, family doctor noticed a lump on thyroid and found cancer. On my second thyroid surgery, they aslo did surgery on the fistula. Shortly after the second surgery, I noticed I had oral thrush. I was given meds for this at the time. The thruish seemed to come and go. I could understand why? In the last few months, I have had boughts of uncontrollable shaking. I would get a chill and it started from there. I would have two sweaters on, under the covers and shaking until my back would start to cramp. I always thought it had something to do with my thyroid (or lack thereof). I also remember having sharp cramping pains in the abdomen in the past six months.
I am presently in limbo awaiting to see a specialist. I have taken the last week and a half off work (policeman). I continue to take pain meds because I don't know what else I can do to relieve the pain. I'm starting to feel like a junkie because soon, I will have to go to the doctor again and tell him I need meds. I saw this site a few days ago and I started reading the posts. It was like someone was telling my life story. After reading and comparing my issues with others, I am pretty sure of the ER dotors suspicions. Anyways, thanks for having me and it's great to see that I am not alone. Cheers.
