where abouts is your crohns
Hi guys how are you all. So i went to the specialist the other day and can't change my meds or anything until i completely ween off the pred.
When i first had my colonoscopy done in august (when i was first diagnosed) they found that only my large intestine was affected and inflamed. With my caecum and descending colon in a moderate to server state, ascending colon in a moderate state and transverse colon in a mild state. I asked the doc on a scale of 1-10 how bad my condition was and he said at least a 6-7....I was shocked because i thought it would of been ok as my ileum or small intestine was not affected. I also asked him what are the chances of it spreading to other areas but he couldn't really answer that.
I guess what I'm wondering is where about are you guys are affected, has it spread much, and do symptoms differ much from where abouts each person is affected. he also said theres a 50/50 chance i'll need surgery in the future.....lets hope its the 50 that doesn't. i want to do everything in my power to manage and control this disease as i can, while still living a normal life.
thanks for listening guys
