Here's my story:
I was diagnosed a couple months ago. I had been sick for around a year. I started with a chronic cough, and was told I had a bronchial infection. Biaxin, then Ceftin for that. Nothing happened.
Then, I started losing weight. The idea was that I was anorexic, which didn't really make sense...
Then, after my doc realized that perhaps I was actually sick, I was told I was lactose intolerant.... So, over the summer, I went milk-free. Cough went away. But I didn't get better.
This great stuff continued until my doc mentioned that she had a "feeling" that it was immune-related. Sweet. A "feeling"...
Anyways, I eventually developed a terrible abscess in the most terrible of places, and saw a nasty surgeon. He didn't do anything... Except diagnose me.
So, I got a colonoscopy, and went on Budesonide (Entocort 9mg) and something like... 3500mg of Salofalk. Quit the entocort, as it didn't do anything.
Now, I'm waiting for a seton placement, my order for Vivonex (an elemental diet) to come through, and possibly Remicade in the future.
Yeah.... anything else, just ask. :thumright:
