Hi there. I'm not the best at writing these so bear with me. About two years ago I went to use the bathroom and felt a crazy pain when the stool was passing. I thought I had hemmorrhoids. The pain went away for about 6 months and then they came back even worse. Months past and Doctors kept on giving me creams and putting me on diets. Nothing worked. I went to the hospital now and they said I had anal fissures, and told me that I should find a surgeon to deal with the problem. The surgeon looked at it and confirmed it to be anal fissures. When I went in for surgery he said instead of anal fissures it turned out to be fistula's. I went back home and it started feeling better but of course the pain came back. Also I felt a new bump come out of no where and it was the worst pain I've ever experienced. I went back to the surgeon and said the fistulas didnt heal correctly and you've developed and abscess. So with 2 fistula's and an abscess I wasnt a happy camper. The doctor wanted to find out what was wrong with me and we ran some tests and it turned out I had Crohn's disease....shocker! My sister has been telling me I had that for years lol.
But anyway. That was a really rough explanation of what has been happening to me over the past 2 years. It was the most depressing part of my life and I went through pain I never want to feel again. I've started taking Remicade and its the best I've ever felt! I feel like a new person and I'm ready to start my life again and get back into High School (I'm a Junior).
However there is one thing that I've noticed after I started taking Remicade. ALL I WANT TO DO IS EAT. And I cannot stress that enough. I'm not sure if I wasnt used to eating again (because during this period my appetite went down and I was barely eating) or if the Remicade is just making me hungry! Either way I was wanting to know if it was normal because I'm kind of worried. I've already gained almost 10 pounds!!
Sorry for the quick story but I really just wanted to ask that question but I didnt want to be rude...Thanks!!!!
