I was diagnosed the same year you were, but I was a tad bit older then you. LOL! My case was moderate to severe. Disease was found from my mouth to my rectum. Yes, I said mouth. I've only meet a few other people who have had the mouth ulcerations from Crohn's. I never had inflammation all the way trough, it skipped. Strange thing I'm told about my case is the disease has never been detected in my small intestines. It's been found about every other place though. My biggest problem area is my colon and esophagus.I've been talking to another member through PM lately and we both agreed that it seems like those of us who were diagnosed what seems like forever ago have less severe cases than those members who have been diagnosed more recently.
What do you guys think?
I'm surprised at this, because mouth ulcers are VERY common in Crohn's. It's one of the top 5 things doctors will ask you about when they suspect IBD.I've only meet a few other people who have had the mouth ulcerations from Crohn's.
