Hi
I was diagnosed with cd about 15 years ago, but I know that I had it longer then that. I was mortified to go to my dr and tell him that I had the runs all the time! I ended up getting a major abscess which forced me to go and I had surgery two days later. I also had a fistula which I had no clue what it was. I was still undiagnosed at this point and you'd think that someone might have asked me some questions, but no.
I was eventually diagnosed about a year later.
I have had two resections with the last one in happening in April. I know what a bowel obstruction now feels like . . . not nice at all!!!! I feel for anyone who has to deal with that!
I have been on pentasa, pred, entocort, imuran, methotrexate with little success . . . I take colestid and b12. I haven't been on anything (except colestid)
since my surgery. I like being med free, but I have been experiencing more symptoms and obviously that concerns me.
I don't mind sharing any of my experiences if it will help someone else so please feel free to ask me questions.
It is good to have a place where other understand your situation.
