The day I found out I had crohns 🗣

I was in 8th grade going on 9th grade when I found out about my crohns it was the end of 8th grade year I had graduation practice field trips and everything to attend 😓 sadly I didn’t get to participate in much due to my crohns one day walking home from school I felt really tired and out of breath as if I was going to pass out I got my water bottle out of my backpack and drink some water it helped a little but I still felt really sick my stomach was hurting and my bottom felt really funny .. I rushed home and used the bathroom and I felt a himroid it was huge I passed out on the side of the toilet 😂🤣😩😩 I told my mom and she looked at it and didn’t understand where it came from we both thought it was a himroid so she went to the store to get everything to treat it but nothing helped I stoped eating and I had a very low appetite I started missing school , because I could barley get out of bed and walk .. one day my brother walked out of his room and sat on the stairs I walked out to attempt to used the bathroom but I passed out on the way he freaked out called my mom next thing you know I’m on my way to the hospital I was going back and forth to sutter delta in Antioch for 6months they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me ... the day of my graduation I couldn’t go to practice my friends had to tell me what to do I attend graduation ate food and went home I passed out again and started not feeling good she took me to Childrens hospital in Oakland they keep me for a whole summer the first week they did surgery on my bottom and did a biopsy and found it was crohns the next day they told me and my mom I had crohns , I cried for hours I knew from that point on life would be a little diffent ... so this whole time we thought it was a himroid and turns out it was my Crohn's coming from my but lol 😂😩🤷🏾‍♀️ . Crohns affects my daily life often I had to go to independent studies through out high school , I am 21 now I can barley work my body have a lot of reactions to medication and that’s my story ..
