I do not know really what to say, but here it goes.....
I was diagnosed officially yesterday with Crohn's of Small Bowel. My doctor showed me the x-rays, which showed an ulceration in a small bowel.
She said my case was mild. I am thankful for that. I went to the doctor's office expecting the worse.
My questions are for anyone that have had a similar experience:
Fortunately, I do not have the many symptoms of Crohn's. My main symptom is constipation. I rarely get stomach pains. I also have some ulceration in my small bowel.
Question 1: The medication that I plan on starting this weekend is Pentasa 500 MG. If you have taken this medication, what is your experience with that?
Question 2: Has anyone had been diagnosed with a mild case of Crohn's and after being medicated and healed, does your life go back to normal?
In advanced, thank you for anyone that takes the time to answer. I feel very fortunate and look to get past this trial in my life. I know things can be alot worse and am thankful for my overall good health.
Take Care,
