Greetings and salutations... I am new here and was hoping for a little guidance and support.
I think I may have crohns but I'm not sure (I will go to a GI doc soon I think) ... I've been having problems (that are noticeable) since about April. It started off as more vaginal issues than rectal... I was having UTI symptoms, yeast infection symptoms, vaginal pain, stomach pain, diharreah (some time complete liquid) and these lovely things that have been annoying me for ages... vaginal papercuts.
Well the OB could never figure out what was wrong with me... all my tests were always negative and they could never find anything wrong with me. I've had STD tests, herpes tests, lupus tests... all nothing.
I must also add that I'm constantly tired and I get random flu like symptoms every now and then. A few months ago I was being seen by the Dr. and he said by the way, did you know you had a fever? Just two days ago, I was sick with a fever and today I find a vaginal papercut again.
I never saw the corrolation... but I have had a lot of bowel / intestinal problems on and off. I go from dihareah to constipation and then somewhere in the middle. For awhile I was having flank pain on my left side and my right side in the abdominal area. I also have a terrible time with gas and generally I can actually feel my intestines in my abdomin "moving" ... dunno how to describe it but its like I can feel them curggling as the stuff moves through them. Also, is crohns associated with indigestion at all? I seem to have been getting indigestion for no reason lately.
The other thing I have is joint/muscle/body pain... random pressure points will hurt or I will have achy parts of my body... my lower back near my butt will ache as well as my chest and certain spots on my arm has as well.
Then last week I noticed I had red blood on the toilet paper after I had a movement. But I haven't seen anything sense then...
So, I saw a new OB today and they did a biopsy of this papercut but she started telling me that I might have Crohns disease.
I'm a little confused because I have read up on it and a lot of my symptoms do seem crohns like... but I have read some posts on this forum and it doesn't seem like my case is anywhere near as severe as some of you guys. I'm just really freaked out and very upset... I start crying at the drop of a hat these days because nobody can tell me what's wrong with me. One doctor had me convinced I had herpes for a while... I'm also only 29 years old.
Anyways sorry for the long post... thanks for reading it
