Im not a driver but i go with my dad loads, and the specialist doctors think ive got crohnsi had to have my MRI scan yesterday to try and help find out for sure, but ive been this ill for 4 or 5 months now!
Hope your keeping better young man I had a bowel op a few weeks back and have another one after Christmas.
Thanks, i ended up in hospital for a week to help me recover and they’ve said its crohns, so im on steroids for the next few weeks then move onto another drug, which i’ll be on for a minimum of five years, hope all your operations go well.
My eldest lad was diagnosed with Crohns when he was 17, about 5 years ago, it’s a nasty little disease, you have my sympathy.
The steroids will hopefully control the disease & allow you to function more normally, however, it is a hit & miss affair, my lad was on them for nearly a year but they didn’t really work so eventually he had an operation to remove infected parts of his intestines.
Now he’s in good health, he needed a 2nd operation about 3 years ago, but he recovered from that quite quickly, nowadays he’s free from pain & continual bouts of diarrhoea. He’s even taken up playing football in a local league with his mates again.
Hopefully things work out for you. If you’re still having problems then look at your diet, certain foods are known to irritate the bowels in those with Crohn’s, by cutting out certain foodstuffs could ease your suffering a bit. Good luck.
