My Story:
Hey ! I have an update I’d like to share with you guys ..recently my diagnoses has been changed to Crohn’s disease from UC and i still am in so much pain. Now I am taking 30mg of prednisone a day..40mg of prilosec for heartburn (the heart burn is still awful) and I am getting Remicade infusions every 5 weeks and seem to still not be feeling better. Luckily the blood has stopped in my stool but I still have a lot of symptoms. My doctor so far has been excellent! I just wish i knew why i still wasn’t feeling better. For me this disease came on so sudden- I was totally fine -working and getting ready to go back to school until all of a sudden I was really sick.At first we thought I just had a stomach bug ,but then all of my symptoms starting coming with the very bloody stool and I could not leave my house because I was so sick. After 2 weeks of that I was admitted into the hospital for 2 weeks we have finally come to a diagnosis. throughout this whole thing my family has been so supportive and helpful. I don’t know how I would have done it without them. Has anyone had any similar issues or any advice? could really use it . It really makes me nervous at the fact that it has been 4 months and I am still in a lot of pain.Does anyone else feel the same way?Has Remicade been working well for anyone else ? Any tricks that have made you feel better? In a few weeks I am actually doing a walk for the Crohns and Colitis Foundation to raise money to find a cure-let’s hope we find one soon! if anyone would like to donate please let me know!
